I have males only of this species, which is very near to S. violetta^ 

 Hagen. The female appears to be monomorphic.

The males in my collection from the three above-named localities can- 

 not be distinguished from Indian and Chinese ,S. lucinay Cramer^ nor can 

 Form I of the female from Java, vfhich is yellow like the male. Form' 

 II of the female, which has the ground-colour white, has no correspon- 

 ding dimorphic form on the Asian continent. I would therefore retain the 

 name S. javanus for this species for the reason that it has two forms of 

 female. I have no females from either Bali or Borneo, so cannot say 

 if the species in those islands is dimorphic in the female or not. If 

 not, I would place them under S. lucma. Mr. Fruhstorfer refers ta 

 this species as S. hyppoclus hyppocla, Hiibner, from East and West 

 Java. lie says that the white females in Java are found in the hills 

 in the eastern part of the island, that the yellow females exist near the 

 coast, especially at Malang in Eastern Java, and Sukabumi and Pala- 

 buan in Western Java. To avoid too many names he uses hyppodu^ 

 [dropping hyppocla, Hiibner] for the Symhrenthia of this group from 

 Bali and Sikkim, from the Malay Peninsula and Borneo, and notes 

 that Borneo has two forma of female. Both, however, are yellow, the 

 alpine form from Kina Balu is richly coloured and has broad yellow 

 bands, the coast form is lighter coloured with narrow yellow bands.. 

 While placing together the Sikkim, Malay Peninsula, Java, Bali and 

 Borneo forms under one name, Mr. Fruhstorfer keeps the Khasia 

 Hill form [S, khasiana, Moore) distinct. I may note that D. F. 

 Moore gives Hypanartia Juppoda, Hiibner, Samml. Es. Schmett.^
