Wallace; also Papilio butleri, Janson, in both sexes mirnicks both sexes 

 of this Euplcea. The scent of Euplaea linnsei reminds Dr. Martin of 

 " Worcester Sauce." The males are variable; in one variety the spots 

 on the upperside of the forewing are violet, in another they are white. 

 These latter specimens would appear to agree with E. mnlciber, Cramer, 

 described by him from China and the Coromandel Coast (the latter 

 locality is certainly erroneous), but restricted by Moore to the islands 

 of Borneo and Billiton. My male specimens of Trepsiclirois from Borneo 

 do not at all agree with Cramer's figure of " Papilio " mnlciber, having 

 the spots on the upperside of the forewing very small (much smaller 

 than in typical E. linnsei) and violet, instead of large and white as 

 portrayed by Cramer. 



34. Euplcea castelxaui, Felder. 



Hagen. Never occurs in Deli, Langkat and Serdang, all the 

 specimens from Sumatra — about a dozen — in Dr. Martin's collection 

 were caught by his brother, Dr. Friedl Martin, in Asahan, south of our 

 area; still further south of Asahan, at Indragiri, where Dr. F. Martin 

 also collected, he failed to get E. castelnaui. At Penang it occurs 

 close to the sea-shore, but it Hies high and is not easily caught. It is 

 always solitary, several speeimeiis are never seen together. 



35. EuPLCBA (Galliphea) BUN US, de Niceville, n. sp. 



Grose Smith as ledereri and mazares. Hagen as ledereri. Moore 

 as ledereri. Staudinger as mazares. 



EABITAT: N.-E. Sumatra. 



Expanse: o", 2*5 to 29; $, 2'7 to 3'0 inches. 



Description: Mali; and FEMALE. Allied to E. (CalKplcea) mazares, 

 Moore, from Java, but differing therefrom in having the upterside of 

 both wings almost entirely unglossed with purple, while that species has 

 the anterior two-thirds of the forewing and a small patch in the middle 

 of the hindwing purple-glossed; the white, violet-glossed spots on both 

 wings the same. 



E. ennus, de Niceville, from Sumatra, E. mazares, Moore, from 

 Java, E. ledereri, Felder, from the Malay Peninsula, and E. aristotelis, 

 Moore, from Borneo, can be arranged in a regular series by the extent 

 of the purple-glossing of both wings on the upperside, E. ettnus being 

 the least. F.. aristotelis the most purple-glossed; the latter, indeed, if I 

 have correctly identified it, having the whole of the forewing and a 

 considerable area on the hindwing very rich iridescent purple. 



This species is never found at high elevations, not even as high as 

 Bindjei, but always close to the sea. It is very plentiful on
