Indo-Malatan Allied Species oe Euflcea. — E. Drucei (Moore, P. Z. S. 1883, 

 290). Male. Comparatively larger than B. Phoebus ; of a brighter purplish-brown 

 tint ; forewing longer and broader, marginal spots more slender, submarginal spots 

 also smaller, the discal series more slender and indistinct ; cell spot also indistinct ; 

 hindwing with all the spots smaller. Exp., S 4|, ? 5j- inches. Habitat. Ohen- 

 taboon, Siam.— £J. grandis (Moore, P. Z. S. 1883, p. 290). Male. Allied to

 Island of Nias. — E. Gyllenhali (Lucas, Rev. Zool. 1853, 316, 3). The type speci- 

 men in the Paris Museum, which I examined, through the kindness of Mons. C.

 comparatively narrower wings, the markings above approaching more to those of 

 E. Phoebus. Habitat. Java. — E. Pavettce (Zinken-Sommer, Nova Acta Akad. Nat.
