cept that there is a long white streak on the underside of the forewing between the 3rd median vein and the 
submedian. Obi, only 2 and 1 $ known. 
E. leachi, a very interesting species, hitherto only known from Celebes, where it occurs in two local 
races. — leachi Fldr. (86 c), in the south of the island, taken by me at the waterfall of Maros in November, leachi. 
has the upper surface of the $ entirely black, whilst the $ is basally dark and. distally light brown, and bears 
a row of distinct white submarginal spots and an inconspicuous row of small antemarginal dots on both wings. 
The under surface, which is figured, is still more copiously decorated with white. On the underside of the 
all the punctiform spots of the $ are strikingly reduced, only in the median area a series of brown, only slightly 
indicated intraneural patches, placed in pairs, is noticeable. — coracina Hpfjr. is a smaller race, similarly coracina. 
spotted beneath, which above is easily recognizable by a row of small but strongly expressed white submargi¬ 
nal dots. Central Celebes, flying in August-September; North Celebes. Dr. Martin’s collector found, the spe¬ 
cies also in the eastern part of the island. — albiplagiala Fruhst., from Bangkai, scarcely differs in size from albiplagiuta. 
coracina, but bears above indistinct white dots; $, however, differing considerably in the very large, long ul- 
tracellular patches of the forewing and in having the white spots on the hindwing beneath nearly twice as large. 
E= latefasciafa Weym. (= ribbei Bob.), one of the most beautiful Euploeids, which can best be com- latefasciaia. 
pared with eupator Hew. (80 a), as the $ of which Hewitson regarded, and. figured, it. Differs from eupator in 
having narrower but longer wings, the inner margin not concave, and two oblong cell-spots on the forewing. 
The transcellular patches of the forewing distally more pointed, those of the hindwing almost twice as broad. 
The species is known from the whole of Celebes, but is everywhere of great rarity; I myself met with, it both 
in the coast-forest near Toli-Toli in the north and at the peak of Bonthain at 1000 m in the south of the island. 
E. moorei is a Macromalayan species, which is yet to be discovered on the Malay Peninsula and. Java, 
but has already been brought to Europe from Borneo, Sumatra and its satellite islands. — brookei Moore (86 d), brookei. 
described from Sarawak, is one of the commonest species of South-Eastern Borneo and has also been repeat¬ 
edly taken in the northern part of the island. The $ differs from the figured $ in the presence of a white cell- 
dot and of one or two transcellular dots placed between the median veins. Valve distally concave, with long, 
thick, shaggy hair and broad, obtuse ventral projection, which is distally likewise slightly arched. — moorei moorei. 
Btlr., very common in North-Eastern Sumatra, I have never had from the western part of the island. <$, but 
especially the as a rule with more complete and more pronounced spots on the forewing and apparently 
altogether lighter brown than Borneo examples. — morrisi Hag., an island form which is still very rare, des- morrisi. 
cribed from Mentawej. Most examples have the forewing unicolorous brown and on the hindwing a more or 
less complete and distinct row of small submarginal and marginal spots. Under surface similar to moorei, but 
with the white spots reduced to dots. — thiemei Fruhst., described from a £ in coll. Thieme in Berlin, must thiemei. 
be regarded as the most copiously white-marked race yet known. It approaches moorei Btlr. from Sumatra, 
from, which it differs in its smaller size, the more prominent white submarginal dots of the forewing, and the 
more complete row of submarginal spots, of which, the upper 3 are scarcely any smaller than in moorei, whilst 
the 4 following are considerably larger. Beyond the cell are placed 7 white streaks and dots, of which in moorei 
only one between median 1 and median 3 is occasionally present. In addition there is another rather large white 
dot before the apex of the cell and between median 3 and. the submedian is placed a white streak. The upper 
surface of the hindwing is less copiously decorated than in moorei. There are only 3 admarginal and 3 submar- 
ginal dots present, whilst the anal row is absent above and only shows through, slightly from beneath. The 
under surface again approaches moorei. But the admarginal dots are here also more prominent and beyond 
the cell are placed 6 white dots and streaks, whilst in moorei occasionally only 3, of a violet colour, are present. 
The underside of the hindwing differs from the upperside in a complete admarginal row of white dots, which 
agrees with moorei. Also the circumcellular dots are as in moorei, but white instead of violet. It is singular 
that thiemei has little in common with morrisi Hag. from Mentawej; for morrisi lias the upperside of the wings 
entirely black and. the dots on the und_erside of the forewing are more obsolete, whilst on the other hand the 
submarginal row on the hindwing is more complete. Nias. 
E. crameri is one of the richest in forms of the species of the Indo-Malayan region and its satellite is¬ 
lands. To the east it extends as far as Bali. Valve less incurved, with straigliter and somewhat more pointed 
ventral process than in moorei. ■ — nieevillei Moore, described from the Sunderbunds, small, flat, alluvial is- nicevillei. 
lands at the estuary of the Ganges, was probably originally only accidentally introduced by shipping. It is 
distinguished by the unusually broad, and pure white submarginal spots on both wings. Only one $ is yet known, 
which is in the British Museum collection.— frauenfeldi Fldr. (= esperi Fldr., biseriata Moore) differs con - frauenfeldi. 
siderably from nicevillei in the much reduced white spots, in the <$$ even the proximal row of submarginal 
dots is sometimes entirely absent. Nicobars. — bremeri Fldr. ($ = olivacea Moore) is distinguished from the bremeri. 
figured heylaertsi by the lighter brown ground-colour, the narrower shape and the more pronounced white mark¬ 
ings on the forewing. Not rare in Upper Tenasserim, this form extends northward to Akyab and is also to
