above and at the sides ochreous, beneath black. Female has the 

 wings a little broader than in the male, but is similar in markings. 



Near to " Melanitis " ceryx^ Boisduvalj Sp. Gen., pi. ix, fig. 8, 

 female (1836), from Java, differing therefrom on both sides of both 

 wings in the disc being heavily irrorated on the upperside with 

 blackish, on the underside with ferruginous, striolaa ; the anal area 

 of the hindwing is more broadly ferruginous on the upperside ; on the 

 underside of the forewing in E, ceryx the outer-discal series of spots 

 are much more prominent, beyond which are a few white striolse 

 only ; on the hindwing there is also an outer-discal series of seven large 

 round white spots which are very small and sometimes almost obsolete 

 in E. ceryxoides ; in E. ceryx the striolation is confined to the outer 

 and abdominal margins. E. ceryxoides appears to be a mimic of 

 Danais {Caduga) tytioides^ de Niceville, which occurs with it in the 

 mountains, while E. ceryx appears to mimic Danais (Mangalisa) 

 albata, Zinken-Sommer. Mr. Henley Grose Smith and Dr. B. Hagen 

 have both recorded E, ceryx from Sumatra, the species described above 

 being the one probably meant. 



Hofrath Dr. L. Martin and I possess numerous examples, some of 

 which were taken in June and July.

E./rvhstorferii, de Niceville, Proc. A. S. B,, 1895, p. 109, n. 2. 



Habitat : Central Java. 



Expanse : ^,2-2 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both wings shining cobalt-blue 

 with a distinctly green shade in some lights. Foreioing with the 

 costa narrowly blackish owing to the blue scales which overlie the 

 black ones being less numerous ; the truncated apical portion of the 

 outer margin rather broadly black, posterior to which the outer margin 

 bears an anteciliary black thread only ; a submarginal narrow waved 

 black line, which exactly follows the outline of the wing. Hindwing 

 with the costa somewhat broadly black, bounded posteriorly by the 

 subcostal nervure and the first subcostal nervule ; the abdominal
