290 MR. F. MOORE ON LIMNAINA AND EUPLCEINA. [May 1, 



3. EUPLCEA GYLLENHALI. 



Euploea gyllenTialii, Lucas, Rev. Zool. 1853, p. 316, cJ. 



Hal. Java. In coll. Paris Museum. 



The type specimen of E. gylUnlialii is very closely allied to both 

 E, corns and to E. phcebus ; but it differs in having comparatively 

 narrower wings, the markings above approaching more to those of 

 E, jyliQ^hus. 



Owing to M. Lucas omitting to describe the discal patch on the 

 hind wing in bis descri])tion of this species, it has subsequently been 

 considered identical with the E. ochscnlieimeri, Moore. 



4. Etjplcka drtjcei, u. sp. 



Male. Comparatively larger than E. plia^iis and of a brighter 

 purplish-brown tint ; fore wing longer and broader, with the mar- 

 ginal spots more slender, the subinarginal also smaller, the discal 

 series much more slender and indistinct, the cell-spot also indistinct ; 

 hind wing with all the spots smaller. 



Female. Darker, and with all the markings less distinct than in 

 the same sex of E. pliccbus. 



Expanse, 6 4§, 2 5^ inches. 



Hah. Sian; (Chentaboon, Layard). In Banksian Collection, 

 British Museum, and Messrs. Godmau and Salvin's collection. 



5. EuPL(EA GRANDIS, n. Sp. 



Male. Allied to E. dritcei : fore wing comparatively longer and 

 narrower, with the discal series of spots narrow, elongated, and di- 

 stinct, the submarginal row composed of very small dentate spots, the 

 marginal spots minute and almost obsolete ; hind wing with three 

 upper series of spots, the discal series largest. 



Expanse, c? 5j inches. 



Hab. ? In coll. G. Semper. 



6. EuPLCEA BUTLERl, U. Sp. 



Male and Female. Smaller than E. jilioehi(s. Male darker purplish 

 violet-brown, with violet-blue reflections in some lights ; the discal 

 and submarginal row of spots of a purplish-violet tint, much smaller 

 and more distinctly formed than in E. plicehns ; the discal and mar- 

 ginal spots also much smaller ; the cell-spot very small and indi- 

 stinct : hind wing more triangular in form, with the discoidal patch 

 duller-coloured, the spots much smaller. 



Femcde. Darker than in E.jjJioebus, and all the spots on both wings 

 smaller. 



Expanse, c? 4, 5 4j inches. 



Hab. Borneo (Lowe). In coll. Messrs. Godman and Salvin. 



A male specimen of this species labelled " Malacca " is in the 

 collection of G. Semper of Altona. This latter locality, however, is 

 probably incorrect.
