Java. (Presented by the Hon. East-India Company). B.M. 



There is one specimen of P. Ariadne in the Banksian Collection, 

 and with it an example of P. Merione, Cramer (apparently an Indian 

 species). In the ' Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera ' the name P. 

 Ariadne is applied to this form, the Javan insect being referred, as 

 a distinct species, to the P. Cocyta of Cramer : there can, however, 

 be no doubt, since Linnaeus gives Java as the habitat of his species, 

 that Cramer's P. Cocyta is the true P. Ariadne.
