in Langkat, and Kotta Lembaroe in Deli. It settles on trees not 
very higli from the ground with widespread wings, and beliaves on 
the wing like an Euthalia . 
180. Hypolimnas bolina, Linnaeus. 
Snellen. Hagen as bolina and jacintha. Wallace. Staudinger as 
bolina , var. jacintha. Distant. Extremely variable in the female sex, 
many of them being of the form named jacintha by Drury. But none 
of the forms described by Cramer from Java which are more or less 
richly marked with ochreous on the upperside, such as iphigenia, melita, 
alcmene , antigone , and proserpina are found in Sumatra. In Deli it is 
rather rare, and prefers low elevations, not being found higher than 
Namoe Oekor. It is more plentiful near the sea, as at the Saentis 
Estate and at Mabar Dr. Martin could obtain one or two specimens 
nearly every day. Only in December, 1892, and January, 1893, it 
appeared in large numbers and all varieties of the female near Bindjei, 
but in the following year there was not a single specimen to be seen. 
It does not frequent forests, but is found on roads, in gardens, and 
near houses. 
181. Hypolimnas anomala, Wallace. 
Grose Smith. Snellen as antilope. Hagen. Semper. The H. anti¬ 
lope of Cramer described from Amboina appears to be a distinct species, 
and is recorded by Wallace from Amboyna, Ceram, and Bouru. In our 
area H. anomala becomes year by year more scarce, in correlation with 
the disappearance of the forests. It does not occur at higher elevations 
than Bindjei. Is a highly mimetic insect, as the males very closely 
resemble on the wing the brown species of Euploea , such as E. moorei , 
Butler, and also settle near forest roads like Euploeas with folded wings. 
The female is trimorphic; the first form has the upperside richly 
glossed with blue, and mimics the male of EuplGea linnsei , Moore ; the 
second form is dull brown, lacking the blue coloration altogether, is very 
similar to the male, only duller and larger, and mimics the brown 
Euploeas ; the third form has along the outer margin of the hindwing on 
both the upper and undersides a series of marginal white streaks be¬ 
tween the veins, and may be taken on the wing for E. pmivillii, Butler. 
182. Hypolimnas misippus, Linnseus. 
Snellen. Hagen. Distant. The female in Sumatra is of the 
form of diocippus , Cramer, and is a beautiful mimic of Danais chrysip- 
pus t Linnseus. The form which mimics Danais klugii , Butler, and 
occurs in India and Africa, is not found in Sumatra, neither does it
