Mr. Moore has discovered that the insect figured by Felder* as his £. grofet is really the 

 female of another species he had previously described as E. harrisL The name of the Malay 

 butterfly must therefore be altered as above. 



18. Euplcea marsdenL (Tab, XXXIX., fig. 1 .) 



Tnmt/a mandtni, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1888, p. 2C0, n. 3. 



The following is Mr* Moore's description of this species : — 



" Intermediate between T. brtmeri and T. cramtri- f Colour paler. Fore wing more the shape of 

 that in T. crameri, being comparatively longer and narrower than in T. bremeri ; the markings also are 

 more like those in T* crmufi t there being only two small upper snbmarginal spots, which, however, are more 

 elongated and narrower, the nest (or largest) spot is also much longer and narrower, the fourth smaller, 

 and the lower three very small ; fche marginal row is distinct but very small ; hhid wings with two rows of 

 small distinct white spots*" 



Exp. wings, J , 98 millini. 



Hab,— Malay Peninsula; Singapore (coll. Moore; Kerr— coll. Dist.). 



I have given Mr* Moore's original description, because the species is evidently a variable 

 one, as in two male specimens sent me, by Capt. Kerr, from Singapore, one (the specimen 

 figured) possesses three small pale spots beyond the cell, and a very small spot in the cell, 

 which are altogether absent in the second example. 



I systematically place E. mamkni as following E, hremerL

1. Melanitis leda (an tea, p. 41).

Mr. Butler states that 14 the true M, leda is a totally dissimilar Amboinese species," and 

 proposes the nume 31 determinate for the common Indian and Malay form of the species. 



I do not agree with this course, firstly, because Mr* Butler himself does not seem clear as 

 to what is the typical form, as, though lie would now restrict that form to Amboinese examples, 

 he has previously stated that he " found the small dark form (the true P. Letla of Linnaeus) to he 

 almost exclusively confined to India"; J and, secondly, because I possess Amboiuose speciineus 

 of the species collected by Mr, Forbes, and tind nothing but the gradual variation previously 

 described by Mr* Bntler himself in the paper referred to, thus proving his also previously 

 expressed words, " I ain fully convinced that this species is capable of almost any amount of 

 variation in form as well as in colour." § 



It has been already stated (antea, p. 40) that .1/. kda and M. isnune have often been 

 considered as varietal forms of one species. Mr, L, de Niceville has subsequently informed ua 

 that Jf- item* is but the dry-season form of M. Ifda t \\ the Bpecies thus exhibiting seasonal
