APPENDIX. 



Since the commencement of this publication, in 1882, # much additional information has 

 been acquired, some new species discovered, and many other known species, not hitherto 

 recorded from the Malay Peninsula, have been received from various helpful collectors and 

 lepidopterists. These are now included, and though doubtless many others have still to be 

 captured and enumerated, the present work must be brought to a conclusion. 



Subfam. DANAINiE.— Oroup DANAINA (antea, p. 3). 



In 1883 Mr. Moore published his "Monograph of Limnaina and Ettpimna t &c/*f — in 

 other words, a monographic list of the genera and species belonging to this group- Mr. Moore 

 approaches the subject in an analytical spirit, and has thus described many genera and apecies 

 which fail to end acceptance with lepidopterists of more synthetical views and method, and he 

 lias also made several useful corrections to the synonymy, all of which, so far as they relate to 

 species found m this fauna, are duly referred to. 



Genus HESTIA {antea, p. 5). 



1. Hestia lynceus (antea, p. 6). 



Eeference has been made to the general variability in size and hue as found in different 

 specimens of this species, I Mr. Moore has estimated and described these forms as distinct 

 species, limiting the true^H, hjRceus to Borneo, describing three new species as found in the 

 Malay Peninsula, and also specifically separating the Javan and a Sumatran representative of 

 the species. As the writer inclines to the purely varietal view of these characters, he adds to 

 the synonymy of H* hjneeux :■ —

This species has now been recorded by Messrs* Marshall and de Niceville as not uncommon 

 in the southern portions of Continental India* § and Perak must also be added to the Malay 

 districts in which it is found. /
