NYMPHALID.E. NYMPHALIN^. EUTHALIA. 195 



" May be only a race of Zi. ^r'^//«rt ; it scarcely differs except in the differently formed 

 discoidal spots without scarlet centres." (^Butler, I.e.) 



The absence of the scarlet markings is a point which should make E. soma easily recog- 

 nized if met with. I have never seen a specimen. E. annamiia, Moore (Proc. Zool. Soc 

 Lond., 1879, p, 137) from Cochin China belongs to this group,

Adolias eva, Feider, Reise Novara, Lep, vol. iii, p 432. "• 692 (1867). 



Habitat : North India, Assam, Luzon, Java, Borneo, Celebes. 



Expanse : Not given. 



Description : " Male. Upperside fuscous, very slightly tinted with bronze, otherwise as 

 in A.\_- E.levelina. ForewinghowQVQv with the fuscous discal fascia entirely diffused . Underside 

 less varied with glaucous [bluish-gray] than in A. evelina, with the markings on the border 

 more obsolete. The " orbitce" red.* Female. Wings ^dl&x, forrcving more produced at apex." 



" Up to this it has been confounded in collections with .4. evelina, Stoll, (derma, Kollar), 

 from which it can easily be distinguished by the colouring of the upperside." (/^(f/o'^r, 1. c.) 



I know nothing of this species, but retain it here as distinct on Dr. Felder's authority. 

 Messrs. Butler and Distant both rank it as a synonym of E. dertiia, which is probably 

 correct as Feider appears to have considered E. evelina and E. derma as one species.

Habitat : South India, Ceylon. 



Expanse : 3-0 to 35 ; $ 4'oo to 465 inches. 



Description : " Male and female. Upperside, both wings aenescentt sap-green, with 

 a transverse discal dusky lunular fascia, and a less distinct marginal fascia. Forr.uing with 

 two discoidal black-lined marks, the upper part of the inner one centred with vermilion. 

 Hindwino with one black-lined mark. Underside greenish-grey, with dull sap-green transverse 

 discal and a confluent double marginal fascia. Fore^oing with discoidad marks as above, 

 hind^oing^V^i\v two discoidal marks, and two rings above them, both of which and the inner 

 discoidal mark are centred with vermilion." {Moore, 1. c.) The female differs from the 

 male in being much larger, paler, and with a prominent irrorated whitish discal band, wide 

 on the costa of the foregoing, continued on to the hindwing where it becomes obsolescent near 

 the middle of the wing, its inner margin sharply defined and irregular, its outer margin diffused. 

 In the male there is a trace of the commencement of this band near the costa of both wings ; 

 it is completely absent from both sexes of the preceding species. 



In Ceylon E. evelina "occurs in the eastern and western provinces in low country forests 

 in June. Flight rapid, along forest-paths, settling on thick parts of trees and sometimes on 

 the ground. Shy" (Hutchison). -Rather common in the Kottawa forest, but difficult to 

 capture" (IVade). It occurs also at Karwar, Bombay {J. Davidson), i\.^ Wynaad (Rhodes- 

 Moroan), North Canara, January CAfacpherson-), and at Trevandrum-
