it in East Pegu, where it ‘‘seems to be very common in the Karen Hills, at from 
1500 to 4000 feet” (Elwes, P. Z. 8. 1891, 270). The Pegu males are richly-coloured 
orange-red, and have the markings above more like those in tessellate than in typical 
Euthymius. 
According to Mr. de Nicéville (J. A. 8. Bengal, 1886, 353), ‘ H. Huthymius is, 
judging from the specimens in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, an eminently variable 
species, whose variations are in no way related either to locality or to geographical 
range, so that the term ‘local race’ cannot be applied to the extreme dark form 
named E. tessellata.”

Imaco.—Male. Upperside. Forewing differs from typical H. Huthymius, in the 
basal area being much darker coloured; the markings being similar, but con- 
spicuously more broader and more sharply defined, and on the forewing there is a 
prominent inner-discal erect band which coalesces with the upper streak beyond the 
cell. Hindwing with the basal area ochreous-brown, and the markings conspicuously 
much broader, the discal series extending across from the subcostal vein.

We have here retained LH. tessellata as differing from H. Huthymius. The male 
type of tessellata was obtained from the “ Darjeling”’ collection formed by the late 
Arthur Grote, and the female type from the “ Nepal’’ collection of the late General 
G. Ramsay, and from these type specimens our figures on Plate 156 are taken. 
Messrs. Wood-Mason and de Nicéville (J. A. 8S. Bengal, 1886, p. 353, pl. xv. fig. 1) 
describe and figure a male—identical with our type of tessellata—which is therein 
stated to be taken from a Cachar specimen captured by Mr. Wood-Mason on 
Nemotha Peak in September.* 
* This same Cachar specimen was previously referred to, under the name of E. Euthymius, by the 
authors of the ‘‘ Butterflies of India,” p. 801, as being only “‘ of a far deeper and richer orange-red ” than any 
other specimens we have ever seen;” but they do not there mention the differences in the markings 
between that specimen and the others under their examination. Specimens from Sylhet, from the
