145.  Euplaea chrysippus.  Godart, Enc.  Meth.  H.N. 9 187.88.

Obs.  Captain King has brought a variety of this insect from New Holland, which only differs from the European specimen figured by Hubner, in the row of white points round the edge of the upper side of the lower wings being evanescent.  This species is one of those which have a great range of distribution, being found in Naples, Egypt, Syria, India, Java, and New Holland.

Obs.  This insect comes so very near to the Euplaea limniace, of Godart and Cramer, which is common on the Coromandel Coast as well as in Java and Ceylon, that I can scarcely consider it as any thing but a variety of that species.  It differs, however, in being constantly of a smaller size, in its abdomen being black, and in the exterior row of white spots on the under wings not extending much more than half way round the margin of these wings.  Captain King found this insect in surprising numbers on various parts of the North-east Coast, particularly at Cape Cleveland.  See volume 1.

Obs.  I reserve the generic name of Danais for such of M. Latreille’s genus as have no pouches to the lower wings of their males; and to the remainder I give the Fabrician generic name of Euplaea.

Danais Darchia.  Captain P.P.  King MSS.

Obs.  This is exactly the size of D. eleusine, to which it appears to come very near.  The upper side of the four wings is brownish-black, having towards the margin an arched band of violet-coloured white spots, of which the greatest is at the extremity of the wing.  There is also on the superior margin, about the middle of the upper wing, a white point, and at its inferior angle a marginal series of a few white points.  The upper side of the lower wings has an abbreviated series of marginal points on the outside of an arched series of violet-coloured whitish lunulae.  The underside answers well to the description given by Godart of the underside of his Danais eunice, except that D. darchia has only one white point in the middle of the upper wing.

This species bas been named by Captain King after his friend Thomas Darch, Esquire, of the Admiralty.
