pointed out how very variable E. adima is. Mr. Doherly [1. c, vol. 

 lviii, part 2, p. 127 (1889)] has also done the same, but at less length. 

 Colonel Swinhoe has apparently not seen these two papers, or he 

 would, I think, hardly have described his E, hkasiana, which species 

 is an absolute synonym of E. adima, and is, in my opinion, nothing 

 but a local race of E. appiades confined to the Khasi Hills and Upper 

 Assam. Since I wrote my note on E, adima quoted above, I have 

 obtained additional specimens still more closely linking it to 

 E. appiades, so that I think the time has now arrived when the two 

 species may be safely united. 



Lastly, E. anphiones, Butler, belongs to this group. It is a common 

 species throughout Burma, and has been recorded from Perak in the 

 Malay peninsula by Mr, Distant. The male differs chiefly from 

 E. appiades, in having the blue border on the upperside of the hind- 

 wing a little broader ; the female is very variable, having the discal 

 band of the forewing sometimes white, as in typical E. sedeva, 

 sometimes as in typical E. appiad.es , with every gradation between 

 them, one of which is E. parvata, Moore. I think the synonymy of 

 this group should be thus arranged : —
