Fruhstorfer has done something to clear up the con- 

 fusion surrounding the species of the sub-genus Agrusia 

 (Berl. Ent. Zeitschr. Bd. xliv. p. 56, 57. 1899) but 1 

 consider the following table to be a more correct state- 

 ment of our knowledge of the relationship between the 

 different species and sub-species : — 



Elymnias esaca, "Westw., forma typica. Assam. 

 ,, ,, borneensis, Wall. Borneo. 



,, „ godferyi, Dist. Malay Peninsula. Sumatra.

E. esaca, Westw., has been wrongly recorded from 

 Borneo. Bornean male specimens have a red patch at the 

 base of the hind- wing below, which males of E. esaca have 

 not, and I have no doubt at all but that the so-called 

 esaca (male) of Borneo is nothing but the male of 

 AVallace's species Elymnias borneensis (cf. antea). Distant 

 has confused the female of godferyi with the females of
