(Abstract.) 



The author has already, in a brief communication (Journ. Linn. 

 Soc. no. 67, vol. xiii. p. 115), given a preliminary notice of two 

 new species of Lepidoptera from Malacca, and mentioned the 

 donor and circumstances which have enabled him to draw up an 

 extended list, with annexed remarks on geographical distribution. 

 It is only necessary to add that the paper, with figures of the 

 new and more remarkable forms, will subsequently appear in the 

 Society's ' Transactions.' 



It would seem that of 280 species of determinable Lepidoptera 

 collected by Capt. Pinwill, 43 are new or hitherto unnamed spe- 

 cies, as follows : — 



Euploea Pinwillii, male and female, allied to E. menetriesii.
