oa AN EXPEDITION TO MOUNT BATU LAWI. 
The geographical distribution of the species taken in the 
mountainous district primarily points to a close relation with the 
butterfly-fauna of Kina Balu and other mountains in Borneo, and 
as we should further expect, species found in the mountains of 
Sumatra were also taken. Of the more widely distributed species 
taken, several are found in the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Burma, 
Palawan, the Philippines, Java and India (perhaps the most oc- 
curring in the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, and the least number 
in Java and India). 
NYMPHALIDAE. 
1. Ideopsis daos, Boisd. 
Madihit, May 16th, (and its mimic the Chaleosid moth, 
Isbarta pieridoides, H. 8. taken on Mt. Selinguid, May 31st). 
This common Danaine is widely distributed over Indo-Malaya. 
2. Danais aspasia, Fab. 
Madihit, May 16th. A common Danaine with wide dis- 
tribution. 
3. Danais crowleyi, J. Weir. 
Mt. Selinguid, alt. 4,850 ft. This species is only known 
from the mountains of Borneo and Mr. Shelford in his 
“ Butterflies of Borneo” * only records it from Mts, Kina 
Balu and Penrissen. It has since been taken on Mt. Poe in 
Sarawak. 
4. Huploea cramer, Lucas. 
Very common on the muddy banks of the Melana and 
Apoh Rivers, June. Not noticed on the Limbang River or in 
the mountain districts. 
Or 
Huploea bremeri, Feld. 
One male taken on Mt. Selinguid, alt. 4,850 ft. May 31st. 
- These last two species are widely distributed over the Indo- 
Malayan region. 
6. Huploea scuddert, Butler. 
A male taken on June 4th, Ulu Madihit.. The species is 
confined to Borneo, but not scarce. 
Huploea diocletianus lowu, Buti. 
— 
Common on the muddy banks of the Apoh and Melana 
Rivers flying with H. cramert. 
8. Mycalesis anapita, Moore. 
Limbang. A very common species; also occurs in Malay 
Peninsula and Sumatra.
