11. Danais (Salatura) hegesippus, Cramer. 



Snellen as hegesippus and as melanippus, the latter being 1 a dis- 

 tinct local race from Java. Hagen as melanippus, var. hegesippus. 

 Butler as melanippus. Distant as melanippus, var. hegesippus. It 

 was figured by Cramer from a female specimen from the west coast of 

 Sumatra. D. intermedia, Moore, is found in the smaller hills bordering 

 the alluvial plain, and is still to be got at Bekantschan, whereas 

 D. hegesippus is always found within a moderate distance of the sea. 

 On the islauds of Penang, Singapore and Riau (the latter belonging 

 to the Dutch) D. hegesippus occurs commonly, while D. intermedia is 

 decidedly rarer, or wanting altogether. 



12. Danais (Bahora) aspasia, Fabricius. 



Hagen as crocea ; also as aspasia, var. erocea. Staudinger. Dis- 

 tant as aspasia, var. crocea. I am quite unable to separate D. crocea, 

 Butler, from D. aspasia, vide Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. x, p. 13, 

 (1895). I have a large series of these two supposed distinct species 

 from the typical localities for each, and they are absolutely indis- 

 tinguishable. D. aspasia may be found in Sumatra all the year 

 round, but always only singly. In the spots where a blue Heliotrope- 

 like flower is in abundance, the males of this species will occur singly 

 together with numerous species of Danais and Eupleea, but the 

 females are only found in the forests, and never frequent these well- 

 beloved flowers of their husbands, brothers and cousins. 



13. Danais (Parantica) aglaioides, Felder. 



Hagen as agleoides [sic]. Grose Smith as agleoides [sic]. Stau- 

 dinger as agleoides [sic]. Distant as agleoides [sic]. The males are very 

 common in the plains, the females very rare as in the case of D. vulgaris, 

 Butler. On the wing these two species are hardly distinguishable. 



14. * Danais (Parantica) grammica, Boisduval. 



Grose Smith. Dr. Mavtin has never met with this species. Mr. 

 Moore restricts it to Java, but it may quite possibly occur at the south- 

 east end of Sumatra, which is only separated from Java by the very 

 narrow Sunda Strait. It is known to me by Boisduval's figure only. 



15. Danais (Gaduga) tytioides, de Niceville. 



D. melaneus, Cramer, var. tityoides [sic], Hagen, Die Pflanzen- und Thierwelt 

 von Deli auf der ostkiiste Sumatra's, p. 192, n. 5 ( 1890). 



D. (Caduga) tytioides, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. viii 

 p. 37, n. 1, pi. K, figs. 1, male; 2, female (1893). 



Hagen. Occurs somewhat rarely only on the Central Plateau and
