CATALOGUE OF DIURNAL LEPIDOPTEEA. 3 



c? . Papilio (F.) Radamanthus, Fabricius, " alls integerrimis ni- 

 gris caeruleo micantibus : anticis macula marginal!, posticis macula 

 lineolisque quatuor albis : habitat in Asia." Thoosa, Hubner, Samml. 

 exot. Schmett. pi. 



Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. pp. 40, 42. n. 118, 127 (1793). 



c? , Malacca (obtained 1855 ; collected by A. R. Wallace, Esq.) ; 

 , Singapore (obtained from Mr. James). B.M. 



If the name Diodetianus be objected to on account of its close 

 resemblance to Diocletia of Hiibner, the latter will have to be su- 

 perseded by Erichson's Megilla. The typical liadamanthus is pro- 

 bably the form found in Java, though stated in Jones's * Icones ' to 

 be Chinese. 



6. Euploea Sylvester. 



Papilio (F.) Sylvester, Fabricius, " alis integerrimis fuscis, fascia 

 maculari alba : habitat . . . ." Donovan, Nat. Rep. iv. pi. 129 (1826). 

 Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. p. 41. n. 124 (1793). 



This is the Melpomene of Butler. Donovan's figure is not correct, 

 but differs considerably in the size, number, and position of the 

 spots, &c. on the under surface of the wings ; the white band on 

 the under surface (present in Jones's drawing) is entirely absent 

 in his figure ; and a reference to Donovan's original drawings in 

 the Hope Collection at Oxford shows that his underside figure is 

 drawn from memory, an indication of the position of the spots 

 having been made on his sketch. 



7. Euplcsa Euphon. 



Papilio (F.) Euphoii, Fabricius, " alis integerrimis nigris : anticis 

 albo punctatis, posticis ante apicem albis : habitat in Isle de France." 



Euphone (sic), Boisduval, Faune Ent. de Madaq. pi. 3. fig. 1 

 (1833). 



Fabricius, Ent. Syst. suppl. p. 423. n. 184, 185 (1798). 



Mauritius. (Obtained 1857, from Dr. Beke) B.M. 



8. Euplcea Dryasis. 



Papilio (F.) Dryasis, Fabricius, " alis integerrimis fuscis : an- 

 ticis punctis duobus, subtus omnibus plurimis albis : habitat . . . ." 

 Donovan, Nat. Hep. v. pi. 158 (1827). 



Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. p. 39. n. 117 (1793). 



Seems nearly allied to Qoudotii, Boisd. : in the original figure, by 

 Mr. Jones, the spots of the front wings are much smaller than in 

 Donovan's representation.
