works as a scientific traveller. As Dr. Martin almost simultaneously 
received a large consigument of butterflies from S.-E. Borneo (Band- 
jermasin), and amongst them a considerable number of this species, 
we were surprised to find that it had not already been described from 
that island. It is probable that it previously stood in collections as 
the really very distinct G. lutea, Zinken-Sommer. The late Pro¬ 
fessor Westwood appears to have been of opinion that the yellow male 
of G. lutea has a white female. I have never seen a female of that 
species, though the male is excessively common. Even Dr. Staudinger 
has no female in his unrivalled collection so he writes to me. C. theresse 
stands in his collection under the MS. name of C. thyonneoides, from 
Borneo.

Hagen as rahria , Westwood [sic]. Staudinger as rahria, Westwood 
[sic], A common species in Burma, the Malay Peninsula, Nias, 
Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. The name rahria is a MS. one of 
Westwood’s; as Moore figured it (though he did not describe it), the 
species is properly Moore’s.

Always a rare species, I possess specimens from the Daunat Range, 
Tenasserim, Burma ; Perak in the Malay Peninsula; and Bekantschan 
and the Battak mountains of Sumatra taken in July and October. Dr. 
Martin has specimens from Java.

Rare, occurs only in the Battak mountains in May and July. It is 
a very distinct species, the coloration of the upperside is of a very rich 
and deep orange, and the fourth pair of black lines counting from the 
base of the wing on the upperside of the forewing is twice broken, a 
unique character in the subgenus.
