RF10PA LOOK R A MA LA YA NA* 



This appears to be a moderately scarce species, and is related to some very closely allied 

 forms in the neighbouring islands. Were the butterflies of the whole Malayan region being 

 described, it would be possible to pursue the more reasonable course of arranging these local 

 though distinct forms under one specific grouping, but, as the Rhopalocera of the Malay 

 Peninsula are here alone enumerated, that course cannot be followed.

Tbe interest attaching to this local race of E. caunus is principally owing to its being 

 a " mimic*' of Euphm dioth'tiariUR, which is also the local race or form in tbe Malay Peninsula 

 of E, rhtdamanthus.* We thus see this mimicking Papilio modified in the same manner as 

 its mimicked Eupkea, and if II. ddoclet-iamu is to be recognised as a distinct species, this local 

 Form, variety, or race, will have (in an artificial and systematic sense only) to be recorded 

 in the same way. I have been recently informed by Mr. 0. Salvin that he has received 

 Boruean examples of the Papilio which mimic the Bemoan form of the Ettphna, viz, IL Ivtrt'i.
