27 Described in the Entomologist (l. c.) as follows:— 
“ M. amoena was described from Sarawak. This was verified for me by 
Mr. N. D. Riley, who kindly examined the type in the British Museum for 
me. Fruhstorfer, in Seitz’s Macro-Lepidoptera of the World , vol. ix. 
p. 341, notes it in his collection from North Borneo only, and figures a 
typical Kinabalu under side. A short series from Kinabalu, collected in 
September, 1913, shows several points of difference on comparison with the 
Sarawak series, so that it becomes necessary to restrict typical amoena for 
Sarawak specimens, and separate those from Kinabalu as a distinct sub¬ 
species, which I name M. amoena rampaiana, subsp. nov., and describe as 
follows:— 
“ Upper side of both sexes differs from typical amoena in the heavier 
fuscous apical shading; in the male this hides the apical ocelli which are 
visible in amoena. 
“ General colouring below dark fuscous brown instead of reddish brown ; 
one broad median band across both wings, which is darker on the margins, 
lighter in the centre. In typical amoena this band is divided into two 
narrow reddish brown bands separated by a broader band of ground-colour ; 
in fore wing of male amoena the basal band is obsolete. 
The tuft of hairs on the costal margin of the hind wing above in male is 
greyish-ochreous, not conspicuous; in typical amoena this is pale yellow and 
at once seen on raising the fore wing.” 
28 Fruhstorfer states that only two examples are known. Dr. Hanitsch 
obtained it on Kinabalu in 1899 ; the Sarawak Museum has a small series 
obtained at 3000 ft. on the same mountain during my expedition of August 
and September, 1913. 
29 A very similar species, M. minews Linn., is recorded from much the 
same region as M. perseus. Fruhstorfer describes a subspecies macro- 
malayana from Singapore and Sumatra; but apparently as yet unknown 
from Borneo. The male may be distinguished from perseus by the larger 
blackish sexual mark on the fore wing below, and from horsfieldi by the 
absence of the silky extension to the scent-patch on the hind wing above. 
Shelford records polydecta from Sarawak, and states that he had not met 
with perseus in Borneo. The Museum series labelled polydecta contained 
both perseus and horsfieldi. Fruhstorfer restricts the name polydecta to the 
Indian form of mineus,
