30 BUTTERFLIES OF MOUNT PENRISSEN. 



(4) purely local mountain forms. It is especially these last 

 that give the distinctive character or — if I may be al- 

 lowed the expression — the touch of local colour to a collec- 

 tion formed on any given mountain. The table of species 

 of butterflies captured on Mts. Matang, Santubong and 

 Penrissen given at the end of this paper will best illustrate 

 the above-stated facts. I have prepared a similar table of 

 the Longicorn beetles of the three mountains, which is 

 equally suggestive. 



Fam. Nymphalida. 



Sub. fam. Danaiiac. 



(1) Hestia lynceus (Drury). 



Both the typical form and the melanic variety which has been 

 separated by Moore as a distinct species, reinivardti, 

 were common at all elevations. 



{2) Ideopsis duos (Boisd.) 



(3) Datum (JBahora) aspasia (Fab.) 



(4) Danais {Paralitica) bomeensis (Jenner Weir). 



This species was described as belonging to the sub-genus 

 Chittira, but seeing that the male has androconia on the 

 lower median and submedian veins, it must fall into the 

 sub-genus Parantica. 



The species was very common and easily caught, as it 

 generally flew with the slow flaunting flight so characteris- 

 tic of the members of this " protected " sub-family. Also 

 recorded by Dr. Hanitsch from Kina Balu. 



(5) Danais (Caduga) larissa (Feld.) 



Fairly common at all elevations. The Sarawak Museum 

 collection contains also one example captired near 

 Kuching. 



(6) Euphea (Trepsichrois) mulciber (Cram.) 



(7) Euplcea (Danisepa) lowei (Butl.)
