THE BUTTERFLIES OF SIAM. 123 



118. Melaxitis ziTENius subsp ? 



Two specimens taken at Sriracha in May. 

 Sub-family — ELYMNiNiS. 



119. ELYMXIiiS DARA Subsp ? 



Two females which I identify as belonging to this species were 

 obtained in the Me Song forest, Prae, in Ajiril 1916. It is probably 

 referable to the race daedalion which is known from Burma and Tavoy 

 in Tenasserim. 



120. Elymnias hypermnestra uxdulakis Drury. 



Fairly widely distributed, but nowhere very common except in 

 Bangkok where it is quite plentiful, especially in December, Januarj' 

 and February. In Siam there are two well-marked seasonal forms which 

 Fruhstorfer has named violetta and epixmitha respectively. 



121. Elymnias nes^a apelles Fruhst. 



I have taken a number of males and females of this butterflj' iii 

 Bangkok mostly in December, January and Februar)', but have not 

 come across it elsewhere. This fine subspecies was described by Fruhs- 

 torfer from two males taken by him in Bangkok in 1900. In the 

 females, the streaks on the forewing are greenish-grey, not blue, and 

 the ground colour of the hindwing is dark chestnut-brown. 



122. Elymxias m.alelas ivexa Fruhst. 



This butterfly was described by Fruhstorfer from examples 

 taken by him in Tonkin and Siam. I have only two specimens, both 

 females, one taken in Bangkok in December, and the other at Pak Jong 

 in January. 



123. Elymxias vasudkva oberthuri Fruhst. 



Known only from a single female taken by Doherty at Renong 

 Peninsular Siam, ( vide Seitz. Macrolep. 9, p. 392 ). 



Sub-family — Amathuisix^. 



124. Fauxis arcesilaus arcesilaus Fabr. 



Apparently rare. Four specimens taken in the Me Song forest, 

 Prae, in April 1916. The type specimen of Clerome arcesilaus, which 

 was described by Fabricius from Siam in 1770, is preserved in the 

 Bankhan Cabinet in the British Museum. 



125. Fauxis fauxula fauxala Westw. 



VOL. II, DEC. 1916.
