DR. T. A. CHAPMAN ON THE SPECIES [Apr. 27, 
The following recognised (?) species are apparently varieties 
of puspa :— 
timorensis Butl. A. M. N. H. v. 1900, p. 443. Timor. 
dammce Heron, A. M. N. H. xiv. 1894, p. 104. Damma I. 
splendens Butl. A. M. N. H. v. 1900, p. 444. Perak. 
kuhni Rober, Isis, 1. p. 60. Ke. 
imperatric Butl. A. M. N. H. v. 1900, p. 444. Siam. 
cajaya Felder, Reise Novara, Lep. 11. p. 278. Luzon. 
cyanescens de Nicéville, Butt. Ind. iu. p. 103. Nicobar. 
puspinus Kheil, Rhop. Ins. Nias, p. 30. Nias. 
lambi Distant, A. M. N. H. ser. 5, xix. p. 266. 
Of these, eyanescens has a coloration that makes one doubtful 
of its identity with puspa until an examination of the appendages 
shows them to be truly the same species. 
Amongst other forms (and localities), some of which may have 
been named though I have not discovered it, and for each of 
whi 
ch I would suggest, should a varietal name be desired, a 
varietal name indicating the habitat, may be mentioned :— 
1 
y 
Or 
“I 
. A large form (34 mm.) with large white patches on all four 
wings, and very white under side on which the usual spots 
stand out very black and crisp. From Sumbawa. Tring 
Coll. 
2. A form almost identical with cyanescens, but with the special 
tint of that form less pronounced ; under side with a grey 
tone. Rawau. Tring Coll. 
. A moderate-sized form (30 mm.) with white patches indi- 
eated on all wings ; under side a little clouded. From Celebes. 
Tring Coll. 
- Moderate size (33 mm.), broad border, no white patches 
or discal streak ; under side grey-clouded. Battak, N.E. 
Sumatra. Tring Coll. 
. (84 mm.) Narrow border, white patches hardly indicated ; 
under side clouded grey. Bungurun, Natuna Island. Tring 
Coll. 
. A very narrow bordered form (35 mm.), white patches 
hardly indicated, slightly clouded beneath. Palawan. 
Tring Coll. 
. A fairly ordinary form with white patches. From Sawela, 
Lombok. Tring Coll. 
. A very dark blue form without white patches. Sula Resi. 
Tring Coll. 
Miskin mentions that it occurs in Australia, but without 
quoting definite data. G. A. Waterhouse is doubtful whether it 
does so.
