450 DR. 1. A. CHAPMAN ON THE SPECIES [Apr. 27, 
am certain that limbata, placida, and jynteana all belong to one 
species. 
Of lyce I have not examined the type specimen, but another 
one from the same locality that agrees with it in every respect. 
Of lyseas I have compared the type specimen with forms of 
limbata from several Malayan islands, and have no doubt of its 
identity. 
strophis I have not seen: I throw out the suggestion that it 
may be a form of limbata. 
The appendages of this species are so characteristic and different 
from anything else, that the identity of the specimens examined 
is unmistakable. The dorsal process has a very long spine, and 
the spines of the clasps incurving and ending in several teeth 
(instead of one terminal one) are matched by no other species. 
The recognised distribution of limbata, placida, and jynteana 
does not extend beyond continental India further than Ceylon and 
Penang. 
Besides the type specimens of lyce and lyseas, the Tring Coll. 
possesses specimens from 8. Flores, 8. Celebes, Upper Aroa River, 
N. G., Lombok, North Formosa, N.E. Sumatra; the latter 
specimen is a curious dwarf only 23 mm. in expanse. 
Most of these specimens are not far from limbata in appearance, 
but those from 8. Celebes and Upper Aroa River have wider 
borders, without approaching or at least reaching the jynteana 
form. 
Some remarks on this species in connection with the probably 
mimetic significance of the jynteana form, will be found in Tutt’s 
Brit. Lep. vol. ix. p. 408, and in Proce. Ent. Soc. 1908, p. lxxxi. 
Specimens from W.C. Sumatra are in the Druce Coll. They 
probably deserve a varietal name. 
limbata and placida from the Moore Collection are both one 
species; but in the placida series the spots beneath the fore 
wing are distinctly en échelon, whilst those of the limbata are 
much more in a continuous line.

p. 243, pl. iv. fig. 14. 
So far as it 18 possible to judge from a figure, I think this is 
probably a form of limbata. 
20. strophis H. H. Druce, P. Z. 8. 1895, pl. xxxii. fig. 4, p. 573. 
This species has not been examined. I entertain a strong 
suspicion from the figure (J. c.) that like lyce and lyseas it may be 
a variety of limbata. Mr. Druce’s suggestion that it is a 
seasonal form of dilectissima is also possible. The marginal line 
enclosing the marginal spots, always fairly well marked in all 
the forms of limbata I have seen, is quite wanting. The arrange- 
(=) 
ment of the spots is otherwise very nearly identical in limbata
