 keeps them so, placing the really distinct D. philomela, Zinken- 

 Sommer, between them to emphasise the fact. In " Lepidoptera 

 Indica," vol. i, p. 53, Mr. Moore says that D. aspasia is smaller in 

 both sexes than D. crocea^ and has all the transparent markings smaller. 

 I have a very extensive series of these two supposed distinct species — 

 D. aspasia from Borneo and Banka (Dr. 0. Staudinger records it from 

 Palawan in the Philippine Isles, and Heer P. C T. Snellen from 

 Billiton), and D. crocea from Bm-ma, the Malay Peninsula, Siam, and 

 Sumatra — and I am sure no one could sort them into two species from 

 their respective supposed typical localities were their locality labels 

 removed. Mr. Moore gives D. aspasia from Borneo only, and 

 D. crocea from Burma, the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Nias. 

 The specimens from the latter island are probably the present species, 

 which has probably also been recorded from thence as D. philomela 

 by Herr Napoleon M, Kheil [Rhop. Nais, p. 15, n. 3 (1884)]. Herr 

 Gustav Weymer in Stet. Ent. Zeit., vol. xlvi, p. 257 (1885), records 

 D. crocea also from Nias. 



Described from one male example received from Herr H. Fruhs- 

 torfer, and two female specimens, all in my collection. Dr. Staud- 

 inger described the male only.

Mr. Moore has described both sexes of this species very fully, so 

 I need not do so again. A remarkable feature in this butterfly is the 

 third ocellus from the apex of the hindwing on the underside being 

 placed greatly out of line, nearly touching the marginal line ; this
