Males of H. lea are common in the forests of both the plains and 

 mountains, and we have specimens taken at Selesseh and Bekanfcschan 

 from February to October, but none from the remaining months. The 

 female is decidedly rare. 



566. *Huphina judith, Fabricius. 



Hagen. H. judith is confined, as far as I am aware, to Java, where 

 it replaces H. lea, Doubleday, of Borneo, Banca, Sumatra, the Malay 

 Peninsula, and Burma. The occurrence of H. judith in Sumatra, is, I 

 think, more than doubtful. 



Subfamily Papilioninji. 



567. Troides (Trogonoptera) brookiana, Wallace. 



Grose Smith as brookeana [sic]. Snellen as brookeana [sic], 

 Hagen as brookeana [sic]. Wallace as brookeana [sic]. Rothschild 

 as brookianus [sic]. Distant as brookeana [sic]. Staudinger. Kirby. 

 Occurs throughout the year in the plains and outer hills, not much 

 higher than Bekantschan, at Selesseh, and even near Bindjei, in Padang 

 Bedagei and Asahan down the coast ; abundant at Quala Loemoerak 

 near Bohorok, where the males are fond of frequenting a hot sulphur 

 spring. The female is very rare, Dr. Martin obtained only three. 



568. Troides {Pompeoptera) honrathiana, Martin. 



Ornithoptera honrathiayia, Martin, Berl. Ent. Zeitsoh., vol. xxxvii, p. 492 (1892); 

 idem, id., Nat. Tijd. voor Neder.-Indie, vol. liii, p. 332, n. 1 (1893). 



Martin. Hagen. Rothschild as T. vandepolli honrathianus. This 

 is a local race of " Papilio " van de polli, Snellen, Tijd. voor Ent., vol. 

 xxxiii, p. 22 (1890), from Java, differing therefrom in the abdomen 

 in both sexes being very hairy and entirely black instead of more or less 1 

 yellow beneath. It is found only on the Central Plateau, and never 

 below 3-4,000 feet, and is not so rare as T. cunifer, Oberthiir. The egfg 

 is salmon-coloured. The types were taken in December, but it probably 

 flies all the year round. 



569. Troides (Pompeoptera) Helena, Linnaaus. 



Cramer as minos. Snellen. Grose Smith as minos. Kirby as 

 minos. Hagen as hephsestus. Wallace as pompeus. T. pompeus, Cramer, 

 by which name this species is generally known, was originally described 

 from a female from Batavia in Java. T. minos, Cramer, was originally des- 

 cribed from a female said to have come from the West Coast of Sumatra, 

 but is really confined to S. India. T. helena is common throughout the
