capturing within nearly 15 years only 3 resp. 2 specimens. According to Hagen, Sumatra $$ are of a less hril 
lant colouring than those from near Sukabumi. One of my collection has the white spots of the forewing 
smaller than adonia the $ the red markings of the hindwing considerably reduced. On the other hand the 
latter has on the forewing the white subapical spots much larger. $ type from Pal cm bang. — malaccana malaccana.

even than in adonia, but on the hindwing the white discad bands somewhat narrower. For the rest beata is more 
monotonous as to its colouring, resembling rather malaccana Fruhst. , differing from, this as well as from Distant’s 
figure (Rhop. Malayana pi. 19, f. 11) in that the three white subapical spots as well as the large median patches 
are deeply notched distally and not rounded as in malaccana-, on the forewing the 3 spots at the apex of the 
cell are more pointed and irregular, the white patches in the median band of the hindwings however more 
uniform, rendering the band much more regular. Forewing beneath pale brown. Siam (Bangkok). — princesa yrinccsa. 
Fruhst. $$ from Palawan differ from Javanese $$ in having the uppermost patches of the w hite median band on 
the forewing narrower, longer and more isolated. The fourth subapical dot is united with the third costal 
streak; on the forewing the white cellular spot is much smaller, triangular. Under surface: The forewing with 
broader white marginal border and a darker, broader, black submarginal band. On the hindwing the spots 
composing the median band are more closely united, edged with black all around and rather quadrate. On the 
under surface of both wings the red markings more obsolete. — montana Fruhst., a most distinguished form montana. 
differing from the other Macromalayan species in the larger size and darker ground-colour; on the forewing 
the black submarginal band, -and all the black dots as well as the outer median band of the hindwing are larger 
and more prominent. Beneath the white median row of dots is somewhat reduced, on the hindwing the red 
markings are more sharply defined, and the green anal border is wider. Palpi and forefeet more intensely 
red. The $ which is likewise larger, has on the forewing the white median spots shorter, narrower and, for that 
reason, standing farther apart. The median band of the hindwing is, as in Distant’s figure of malaccana , placed 
farther toward the base, growing gradually wider from the costa toward the anal angle. On the hindwing the three 
red apical dots are smaller than in adonia, more like in malaccana-, moreover, the red markings of the under 
surface of both wings are more reduced than in adonia. Length of forewing 1.25", $ 1,55". Kina Balu,

large oblong red spots accompanying the black submarginal patches which are also on the forewing very distinct. 
Discovered in Sula Mangoli by Dr. Platen; only 2 3 $$ are known. 
E. franciae represents in its size and the design of its markings a transition to the species of the Dophla 
group which it also otherwise resembles in having the cell of the forewing closed, though not completely. The species 
is seasonally dimorphic, the band of the upper surface varying in clearness of tint and width, according to the 
season and locality. Characteristic of the under surface is the delicate blue-green, bronce-like ground-colour 
which is richly suffused with silver-grey, and on the hindwings adorned with stripes of pale lilac, especially in 
specimens of the dry-season. Forewing with a large quadrate black spot at the anal angle, franciae Gray, franciae. 
type from Nepal, apparently also in Sikkim and Bhotan, has on the upper surface the longitudinal band broader 
and clearer white than is shown in our figure (131 b); $$ of the wet period are largest, with broader longitu¬

hindwing broader than in the largest rainy-season Hindwings beneath with three instead of only one, pale

milar form was collected by Doherty in March at Bernardmyo (Upper Burma) between 5—7000 ft. of altitude, 
and in Pegu during March and April at 4—5000 ft.
