Mr. Moore has named the above varietal form as a distinct species, a course with which 

 I cannot agree, as typical forms of D. meianetts have since been received from Perak and other 

 portions of the Malay Peninsula.

Salatura intermedia, Moore, Proc, Zool. Soc, 1888, p. 241, n. 6. 



As before remarked, in nearly every series of I), gmutia received from the Malay Peninsula 

 there is found a variety in which the posterior wings have the fulvous-red much suffused with 

 white (Tab. II., fig. 3). Mr. Moore has since described this variety as a distinct species under 

 the name of intermedia, and in his monograph has separated it from the typical form of 

 J>. gemtUa by the intervention of four other species. The reasons* however, for thus treating 

 this usually recognised variety as a distinct species are unfortunately not given. Its purely 

 varietal nature has been further exemplified by the subsequent examination of a Perak specimen 

 in which the fulvous shading is mixed with the white of the posterior wings,

This variety bears the same relationship to D. chrysippus as a similar variety does to 

 D. ijenuiia. Messrs. Marshall and do Nic evil le incline to this varietal opinion, although 

 provisionally keeping it under a distinctive name. The specimen figured was captured at 

 Singapore by Capt Godfery ; it is also reported as found occasionally in Continental India 

 and Rangoon**
