THE BUTTERFLIES OF SIAM. Hi 



Widely distributed and fairl3'"'coniinon. According to Fruh- 

 storfer, brahma MooRE is an extreme dry season form in Siam, cJiloe 

 (margarita) an intermediate form, whilst true midanus Linn, occurs 

 casually as an aberration. 



98. EUPLGEA KLUGI CRASSA Btlr. 



Widely distributed and quite common. Plentiful in Bangkok 

 gardens in the dry months from January onwards. 



99. EUPLCEA DIOCLETIANUS DIOCLETIANUS Fabr. 



Common everywhere especially in the Sriracba district. 



This butterfly seems to be very fond of the smell of charred 

 wood. At Sriracha 1 have frequently found it, together with Danai» 

 atpasia aqmsia assembled in long rows on charred tree trunks, or 

 clustered on heaps of wood ashes. 



Sub-family — Satyrin^e. 



] 00. Ypthima huebneri huebneri Kirby. 



Two specimens taken at Sriracha in September, and one in April. 



101. Ypthima avanta avanta Moore. 



Two specimens taken at Sriracha in April and two in September. 



102. Ypthima baldus baldus Btlr. 

 Common everywhere all the year round. 



103. Erites angularis angclaris Moore. 



This butterfly was not uncommon in the Me Song forest, Prae, 

 in April 1916, but I have not met with it elsewhere in Siam. Fruhstor- 

 fer obtained it near Kanburi in April. 



104. Lethe europa niladana Fruhst. 



Widely distributed and not uncommon. Gada Fkuhst is an 

 extreme dry season aberration which, according to Fruhstorfer, 

 occurs in Siam and Tonkin. 



105. Lethe minerva subsp. ? 



A few specimens of both sexes taken in the Me Song forest, 

 Prae, in April 1916. This is probably referable to the race tritocjenia 

 Fruhst. from Tenasserim. 



106. Lethe mekara subsp. ? 



Taken sparingly in the Me Song forest, Prae, in April 1916. 

 This appears to be very near crijnana Fruhst. as figured by 

 Fruhstorfer.
