Madagascar {Bates Coll. ; Godinuu-Salvin Coll. ; Mas. Brit.). Antananarivo ; 

 Mus. Brit.). Betsileo : Ankafana Forest {Bee. Deans Cowan ; Mus. Brit.). Port 

 Dauphin, South Madagascar {G. F. Scott- Elliot ; Mus. Brit.). 



Of this species .Mr. Guy Marshall writes : " A curious species, linking T. evarne 

 and T. evippe groups ; peculiar to ^Madagascar. 7! ena does not seem to present any 

 characters entitling it to specific rank." 



Dr. Butler also makes the following i-emarks : " This species appears to have no 

 wet-season form. The variety T. ena is perhaps a little drier in character than the 

 type, but both belong to the dry-season phases." 



Beyond the fact that Mr. Mabille says that it is very common over all the island, 

 and that the females are rarer than the males there seem to be no further notes 

 published on the species.
