1 See G, L. Bates, Bull. B. O. Cl. lv a 1934, p. 46 wherein a hue point of 
systematics is raised. We have adopted the name geographically most 
appropriate. 
J We have not seen this form from Borneo or Java and can trace no 
reliable records. 
3 This seems to be the common form of M . flava in Malaysia, but we 
have seen few adults ; these, however, are apparently simillima and not 
plexa Thayer and Bangs. M. f. macronyx and taivana are rarer fin the 
Malay Peninsula at least) but the former seems to be more numerous in the 
north than in the south. We have seen a good series of it from Bangkok, 
Siam. 
4 Only one or two adults are known from the Malay States. Series from 
Siam seem to be macronyx rather than ihunbergi [borealis olim).
