a List of the Butterflies of Hong-Kong. 445 
Not common; occm^s sparingly in the gardens at 
'''Happy Yalley/^ and in the adjoining wooded country. 
It has a rather lofty sailing flight, stronger than that 
of most of its family. My specimens appear to agree 
very well with the form described by Mr. F. Moore 
as Caduga loochooana, under which name they are 
placed in the National Collection. First observed, llth 
February, 1892. 
3. Danais (Tirumala) limniace, 
Papilio limniace^ Cram., Pap. Exot., i., t. 59, figg. 
D. E. (1779). 
Common, especially in ''Happy Yalley," and very 
partial to the flowers of Lantana camera. It is found, 
in good condition, from December to May, and is pro- 
bably on the wing throughout the year. 
4. Danais (Parantica) melanoides. 
Parantica melanoides j Moore, P. Z. S., 1 883, p. 247. 
A rather scarce species, found by me only in the 
'' Happy Valley gardens, flying close to the ground 
in shady paths. January to April. 
5. Danais (Radena) similis, 
Papilio sirnilis, Linn., Mus. Ulr., p. 299 (1764); Syst. 
Nat., i., 2, p. 782, n. 193 (1767). 
The commonest of the green species of Danais, being 
found everywhere in shady places. On the wing from 
December to May, and probably all the year. 
6. Danais (Salatiira) genidia. 
Papilio gemttia, Cram., Pap. Exot., iii., t. 206, figg. 
C. D. (1782). 
Danais plexippus J auct. {nec Linn.). 
Also a very common insect, flying in gardens and 
along the roadsides. It is found most numerously in 
December, and is very partial to the flowers of Poinsettia, 
the splendid scarlet bracts of which are attractive to so 
many insects.
