:30 L. de Niceville — Butterflies of the subgenus Tronga. [No. 1, 



species of Stictoploea will be found in Proc. A.S.B., 1892, pp. 158-16], 

 and Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1892, pp. 247-248. 



I now return to the discussion of the various species of the sub- 

 genus Tronga, and will take up each of them in the order in which 

 they were first described. 



1. Tronga crameri, Lucas. 



Euploea crameri, Lucas, Rev. efc Mag. de Zool., 1853, p. 318, male ; id., 

 Moore, Horsfield and Moore, Cat. Lep. Mus. B.I.C., vol. i, p. 129, n. 256 (1857), male ; 

 id., Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1866, p. 277, n. 27 ; id,, Druce, Proc. Zool. Soc. 

 Lend., 1873, p. 338, n. 4 ; Grastia crameri, Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., Zool., 

 vol. xiv, p. 297, n. 7 (1878) ; id., Snellen, Notes Leyden Mus., vol. xvii, p. 118, n. 2 

 ( 1895) ; Ewplaa (Crastia) crameri, Marshall and de Niceville, Butt, of India, vol. i, 

 p. 78, pi. viii, fig. 15, male (1882) ; Tronga crameri, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 

 1883, p. 266, n. 1 ; idem, id., Lep. Ind., vol. i, p. 79 (1890); id., Frnhstorfer, Berl. 

 Ent. Zeitsch., vol. xliii, p. 188 (1898). 



Habitat : Manilla (Lucas) ; Borneo (Moore) ; Borneo (Butler) ; 

 Borneo (Druce) ; Natuna Isles (Snellen) ; Borneo (Marshall and de Nice- 

 ville) ; North and South Borneo, Mt. Mulu (Frnhstorfer). 



This species was originally described from Manilla, in Luzon, the 

 capital of the Philippines, but according to all authors including Herr 

 G. Semper in Schmett. Philipp., p. .33 (1886), it is not found there. I 

 have not had access to the original description, so do not know exactly 

 what form of io M. Lucas described. The specimen I figured in 1882 

 may perhaps be typical, it has, on the upperside of the forewing, one 

 discal spot in the second median interspace, and six submarginal spots, 

 both the marginal and submarginal series on the hind wing obsolete. 

 The specimen Dr. Moore has kindly marked for me as typical has eight 

 submarginal spots on the forewing and a few (six) marginal spots on the 

 hindwing, one belonging to the inner series. Dr. Butler notes that 

 " The description by M. Lucas answers to Moore's species." It is ex- 

 tremely variable, even in Borneo, and has been given, in my opinion, 

 nine synonymic names. 



2. Tronga kinbergi, Wallengren.

 id., Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., Zoology, vol. xiv, p. 297, n. 6 (1878) ; Tronga kinhergi,

Habitat: Climax, Decemhev (Wallengren) ; China (Butler); China 

 (Moore) ; Tengger mountains, 2,000 feet. East Java (Fruhstorfer) .
