416 L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin— Butterflies of Stimatra. [No. 3, 
Selesseh to Namoe Oekor, and as high as Soengei Batoe; is a true 
butterfly of the forest, settles on leaves with spread wings, and 
has a decidedly weaker flight than Limenitis and Euthalia. The sexes 
differ very much in size, the female being always much larger than 
the male ; often extremely small males are found. It is not a common 
butterfly.

Padang, West Sumatra, Weymer. Staudinger. This species is 
a very distinct local race of the Himalayan and Assamese L. danava , 
Moore. It occurs only in Sumatra, and in our area is found only on the 
Central Plateau, from whence every year a large number of males 
were brought by the collectors, once only a single female, which 
Dr. Martin has described (1. c.). As the sexes of this as well as 
of other butterflies are produced in about equal numbers, it shews 
clearly the skulking habits of the female that it should be so exces¬ 
sively rare in collections. The same sex of L. danava is almost 
equally rarely seen in India. 
188. Limenitis daraxa, Doubleday and Hewitson. 
Doherty records this species from Larut Hill, Perak, Malay Penin¬ 
sula, and describes L. agneya from the same hill, but found at 3,000 feet 
lower elevation (.Journ. A. S. B., vol. lx, pt. 2, p. 176 (1891). L. daraxa 
is much rarer in our area than the preceding species, and occurs in the 
same locality. Never more than two or three specimens are captured in 
one year. 
189. Limenitis bockii, Moore. 
L. bockii, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1881, p. 308. 
Moore. Hagen as dudu. Grose Smith as duda and bockii. Moore 
describes this species from Sumatra, and as allied to L. dudu, Westwood, 
from North-Eastern India, differing in being smaller, with a broader 
transverse white band. The size is unimportant, I possess smaller 
specimens of L. dudu than of L. bockii ; but the discal band is certainly 
broader, especially so on the forewing. The rarest of all the species of 
Limenitis in our area, of which Dr. Martin has received during all the 
period he was in Sumatra not more than ten specimens, nearly all of
