THE BUTTERFLIES OF SIAM. 107
My own experience in the country extends over the last seven
years. During these years I have collected in my spare time in the
following localities:-
I. IN CENTRAL SIAM : The Bangkok district and the country to the north as far as Lopburi.
Th e City of Bangkok is situated on both banks of the .M:enam
Ohao Praya in latitude 13°. 4b' N and longitude 100°. 30' E.
On the west bank it is bounded by fruit gardens, on the east bank by pacli plains. The mean level of the city is only
from Ll, to 6 metres above sea-level. 'l'he city itself is thickly interspersed with fruit gardens.
II. I N SouTII-EASTER:II' SIAM : The Sriracha district.
This districb includes a st rip of dry, sandy, open jungle extending
along the sea-shore, and an inland forest area which rises
steadily to a height of about 200 metres. With the exception
of a few clearings and plantations this area is all dense evergreen fol'est. 'l'he soil is sanely throughout, and few running
streams are to be found. The area is bounded on the eas t by
granite mountain ridges ranging from 300 to 600 metres in
height, Nong Yai Boo, Ban Dan, Nong Khor, Nong Khai Ploi and Hup Bon are in this district.
IIl. IN ·wEsTERN SrAl\I : The country near Kang Kra Chang on
the Petchaburi River up to a height of about 190 metres.
This district consists of dense forest and jungle, the only open spaces in the area being the small cultivated patches around one
or two small native set.tlements. The j ungle is for · the most part clamp and evet·green, with perennial streams running
in the valleys. The district is bounded on the n01·th and west
by mountain ridges ranging from 900 to 1150 metres in height, and on the east by an intermediate area of less mountainous country which divides the true mountains from the plains, and which is coverer1 with mixed evergreen and deciduous jnngle.
IV. IN EASTERN SIAi\I: At Hinlap, Muak Lek, Pak Jong and
Chanteuk on the Dong Rek range.
The jungle near these places is mostly evergreen, but around

the villages themselves there is a good deal of deciduous scmb
forest of mol"e cir less recent gt"owth, covering ground which at some former period was under cultivation.
V. IN NoRTHERN SIA!II: The Me Song forest.
This forest is situated some 26 miles due north of Pt·ae, and is
watered by the Me Song and its ~ributaries t he Me Lem, the
Me Tan, and the Me Sai Song. A great- deal of the forest is
evergreen, but there is also pure bamboo jungle, mixed tree
jungle and "paa" or laterite jungle. VI. IN PENINSULAR SIAM : ·The Singgora district.
The geographical divisions used are those proposed by Mr. C. Boden Klo~s in this Journal (Vol. 1, p. 250).
I am indebted to the .Authorities of the British Museum fot" fl"ee
access in 1913 to the collections and library contained in the
Natural History Museum at South Ken'>ington.
I have also to thank Herr Fruhstorfer for going thl'Ougli my
collection with me at the South Kensington Museum in ] 913, and fol"
sending me notes on various Siamese butterflies unknown to me at that
time.
But above all, my warm(lst acknowledgment-s are clue to Mr.
N. D. Riley for the generous help he has accorcl.edme in the identifica
tion of doubtful species and in the description of some new form s.
In nomenclature I have followell Seitz as fell' as possible, and in
many of my notes I have quoted from the same authority.

1. PaPILIO .iEACUS .iEA.CUs Fld r.
·widely clistribated anll fairly common. It frequents gardens
in Bangkok, visiting by preference the flowers of Ixora::;. It also seems
partial to the flolvers of the Flame-of-the-forest ( Poincicmc6 7·egia ). At Sriracha, I once saw a whole row of these trees swarming with the
males and females of cer1.cus. The trees were in full bloom at the time,
and the combiJJ~c1 effect of tha masses of v-ivid scarlet blos~orns, with
the numerotis conspicuous butterflies hovering over them was distinctly
pleasing .

The femn.les in my collection are ~ -f clistantianns Rothsch.
Jordan states that the males of nMmnon ne vet' visit puddles or
moist spots on the gl'Ound, but I have frequently found them at such
places both on the Petchaburi River and in the Sriracha forest.
Neat· one of my camping places on the Petchaburi River was a
moist "salt-lick" much frequented by deet· which swarmed with butterflies throughout the day. Here P. m ageno1' was a very fr·equent visi

was often quite easy to take specimen:; with the fingers.

23. p APILIO NOl\UUS SWIN HOE! IYJoore.
24. PAPILIO ARIS~'EUS HERJ\IOCRA.'fES Flclr.
This butterfly and the preceding are common in all forest areas.
Vast numbers of both were seen in Aprill912 at the Siamese Survey
Camp in the Huey IYieh Pradone in N. Lat 13° and E. Long 99° 30'.
They were present in all the numerous groups of butterflies
around the camp, but seemed to foregather by preference with other
Papil ios, particularly P. macct1'ens inclo::Ainensis and P. mega1'1ts similis. In addition to those around the c::~mp, vast crowds were flying down
stream throughout the day.
25. PAPILIO AN'l'IPHATES PO~Il'ILIUS Fabr.

112 . MR. E. J. GODFREY ON
A single specimen which I id entify as belonging to this species
was obtained in the Me Song foees t, Prae, in April 1916 .
It is probably referable to the race c~mph·is 1!-,RUflST, from T enas-

29. P APIL10 EURYPIJUS CBERONUS Fruhst.
I have only two specimens of this butterfly-both taken in the
S riracha forest-but it is probably much more common than would
appear h om t his.

J 01·dan restricts the race to Siam and says " only a few o o are
known". 35. PAPILIO l\IEGARUS SI:MILIS J_;athy.
Common in most forest areas.
I have oi1e very abermnt male, taken on the Petchabu ri River
in April 191 ~ , in which the streaks of the forewing are almost com
pletely absent.

Common everywhere all the year ronnel.
39. DniAS AGOSTINA subsp.?
A single male which I identify as belonging to this species was
obtained in the l\fe Song forest., Prae, in Aprill 916 .
It is probably referable to the l'ace inju1nata FnuHST. from Assam
and Tenasserim, which I know only from Fruhstorfer's figure.

42. DELIAS DESCOMBESI LEUCACANTHA. Fruhst.
I have met with this butterfly in all parts of Siam but nowhere
in g reat numbers.
Fruhstorfer, however, writing of the race, says :-
"The butterflies are common in the whole region, fly all the year
round, in Siam in January in enormous numbers, and adorn even t he
parks in the lal'ge towns, such as Bangkok and Saigon with their
bright colours and the dazz ling white of the upper side, float ing slowly

48 . BuPHINA NERISSa DAP.EIA Moore.
Common everywhere all the year round.
According to JTruhstorfer, dapha is th e race which occm·s in
Tenasserim, Burma and Siam, but I have two specimens in my collec

49. H UPHINA NADIN.A NADINA Luc.
This in its various seasonal forms is common everywhere.
According to Fruhstorfer, nadincL is the wet-season fonn, nama
MoonE an intermediate form and amba MOORE an extreme dry-season
form.
50. HuPHINA LEA SIAliiENsrs Btlr.
Widely distributed and quite common. May be found in nearly
all the crowds of butterflies which, in many parts of the cou ntry, are so
commonly seen at wet places on the ground in the dry moHths.
The race is peculiar to Siam.

It apparently differs from H. v. hippia in the fact that it keeps
to the woods and is not found in open country.

74. HESTIA LEUCONOE SIAMENSIS, subsp. nov.
Resembles H. le1wmwe nig?·ictnc~ GROSE-81\'IITH from Borneo. Dif
fers as follows :-The ground colour much pale1·, the yellow tinge more
pronounced. The zig-zag mark crossing the cell of the fm·ewing and
the spot below it, in interspace 11, reduced in size; the spot below the cell, in interspace 2, absent.
Not uncommon at Nong Khor and Hup Bon in the S1·iraeha
forest, but apparently not found elsewhere. According to my obsel'\'a
tions, the butter:flies keep mostly to the tops of trees, especially in the
early mornings, but they occasionally circle slowly down with clumsy,
top-heavy, movements and are then easily captured.
Types 2 o o, 1 ~ in the British Museum.
n. HESTIA HADENI W-M. and de N.
There is 11 specimen in the British Museum labelled " Bangkok. Siam," but Fl'llshstorfer says the species is very rare, and has only been
found as yet near Bassein at the estuary of the Irawaddi.
76. DANAIS PLEXIPPUS PLEXIPPUS Linn.
Common everywhere all the year round.
According to Fruhstorfer, intM·media MooRE is a dry season
aberration which occurs together with, plexippzts typica, in Siam, Cochin China and Tonkin.
77. DANAIS CHRYSIPPUS CHRYSIPPUS Linn.
Common everywhere all the year round.
78, DANAIS MELANIPPUS HEGESIPPUS Ur.
Widely distributed and fairly common.
79. DANAlS AFFINIS llrALAYaNA Fruhst.
Taken only on the west bank of the river in Bangkok and nt S1·iracha.
The occurrence of this butte1·fly at Srimcha is of inte1·est.

form almost worthy of specific rank, of which for a dec!\de only o

was known and whose locality, the Malay Peninsula, was moreover
still doubtful. But I found the species fairly plentiful in Bangkok,
where this beautiful furm was not rart>ly to be met with on the
right bank of the Mennm on flowers and gt·asses in the extensive
templ~ gardens near the c:mals. l'hus a.ffinis, the most vat·iable of all
the Asiatic Dan:~.ida, has also reached the continent and will certainly
extend still further along the sea-coast of Siam."
80. DANAIS MELISSA SEPTENTRIONIS Bth·.
Common everywhere all the year round.
This butterfly often congregates in numbers at moist places on
the ground in the extreme dry months; it is the only Danaid I have
ever found doing so.
81. DANAIS LIMNIACE LHviNIACE Or.
Not very common. Taken only on the Pdchabmi River and
in the Sr.imcha forest.
82. DANAIS ASPASIA ASPASIA Fabr.
Common in the Sriracha forest and not uncommon in other
forest areas. Fruhstot·fet· says that the type of aspasia, preset'Ved at
the Bt·itish M i:tseum since 1787, pt·obably came from Siam.
83. DANAIS EUYX ERYX Fabr.(=agleoides FLDR.)
Common in Rt.ngkok and the adjacent country.
Fruhstorfer says that the type of- this butterfly also probably
came from Siam, whence Fabrici us obtained many species.
84. DANAIS AGLEA :MELANOIDES ~loore.
Widely distl'ibuted and fairly common.
85. DANAIS MELANEUS PLATANISTON' Fl'llhst.
Not common. Taken only at Hup Bon and 111 the Me Song
forest, Prae, in April.
86. DANAIS SIMILIS PERSIMI!..IS Mo01·e.
Common everywhere, especially in Bangkok and the country
districts round about. This race is found only in Siam. Moore's types

of E. h. ha?'?'£si, E. m. m~tlcibe?' and E. miclanus chloe, werA seen in
January 1014 on a hi ll -siJe about five kilometres from the village of
Pak Jong on the Dong Rek range. Not only were the butterflies
massed on the trunhs of the trees, but they were on almost every
branch and twig. They hung iu long rows from the lowet· bushes,
and even the lowest undergrowth swarmed with them. On some
tt~es. they seemed to form part of the foliage; on others, they look
ed more like clusters of berr·ies. From time to time they rose in
clouds from a tree or bush, only to settle down again almost imme
diately. Males preponderated. N nmerous pairs \Ye re in copula. ln
di,,iduals on the bnshes could be taken quite easily with the fingers, in
fact, the native bark-collector who conducted me to the hill embarassed
me somewhat by bringing me living specimens in handfuls. The
fot·est for some kilometres on either side of the hill was very dense,
but the hill itself was fairly open, having evidently been partially
cleared at some former period. The man said that the butterflies
had been there fm· some days, but he coul<l not remember having seen
similat· swarms in formet· years. I visited the hill-side on almost the
same date in the following year, but not a single Enplroid was to be
see11 there. It is interesting to note that Ribbe who met with swarms
of E.nechos under very similar conditions on the small Solomon Islaml,
Munia, learned fl'om th e natives that such s~vm·ms occut'red there
periodically, about every ten years.
88. EUPLOEA GODAHTI Luc. ( =siamensis FLDR.) Another very common Euplroid which is even mot·e widely
distributed than E. ?n. ?noclesta. It is particularly plentiful in Bangkok
gardens in the dry months from January onwards. Individuals with

Taken only on the Petchaburi River, and a.t Pak Jong and Munk Lek. The females are very uncommon,
This beautiful species is found only in Siam and South Tenas

90. EUPLCEA ORONTOBATES Fruhst.
Unknown to me. Described by Fruhstorfer as " a transition
from goda1·ti. to modesta Btlr. and camaralzaman, having the same shape
and size as the latter, but the wonderful blue reflection absent."
Described from a single male taken by Fruhstorfer at Chantabun
( S. E. Siam ).
91. EuPLCEA AI.CATHOE A!:SATIA Fruhst.
Not common. A few specimens taken on the Petchaburi River
in April, and at Pak J ong in January. Fruhstorf12r restricts this race

THE BUTTERFLIES OF SIAM. 127
up to 1914 I had taken only one specimen of this butterfly,
but in April and May" of that year I met with it in gt·eat numbers everywhere throughout the Srimcha district-in the jungle, in the padifields, in the villages, and even on the sea-shot·e. In Srir!lcha itself,
the butterBies often entered the bungalows, and around the village they
were ft·equently to be seen clustet·ed on heaps of wood ashes. It is interesting to note that I had collected in the district at various times dm·ing the six previou<:! years but had not met with the butterfly there,
and that in the same monthB of the foil owing year I found it very
scarce e\'erywhere throughout the district. Fruhstorfer gives javana as the Siamese race, but I thiuk this is a mistake. My males are
quite different from his figure of javana, but agree exactly with
that of vawki. 156. HYPOLIMNAB liiiBBIPUS Linn.
Apparently rare. I have only three specimens in my collection
-a male taken at Sril'acha in September and two females given to me

Widely distributed and quite common. Vast numbers of this

again, in the same months, in 1912. The butterflies were a! ways found
on moist spots lying in shade, and, when disturbed, they rose in
clouds. In some places they were clustered so thickly, and were so
occupied in sucking up moisture, that it was quite impossible to tread
without crushing them. 'l'hey were present in great numbers at all

the drinking places ft·equented by butterflies, but were always in shady
spots, and always in groups by themselves. They seemed to resent
very strongly the intrusion of any other butterfly into their own
particular gt_:onp, and I noticed that the intruder always quick! y withdrew. As a rule, the gt·oups consisted of the pale variety only,
but on several occasions both p::de and dark forms were seen side by
side at the same spot. In May 1914, in a waterless section of the

male near the ruins at Ankor in DE'cember. l have since taken two

into six different races, but J. C. Monlton in a recent paper on the
Butterflies of Borneo (The Sarawak Museum J·oumal. Vol. II, Part II,
No. 6, September 1915. p. 226.) rejects this division on the grounds
that the differences given are insufficient and founded on too few specimens.
