Frulislorfer states of this subspecies that " only a few 

 examples have hitherto been found." Thorough collecting 

 on the mountains of the Malay Peninsula will probably 

 show that it is well distributed and not uncommon. 



Distrih. The species ranges from Kashmir and the 

 Himalayas to China and Formosa and south to the Malay 

 Peninsula. 



Not recorded in Godfrey's list from Siam, but he kindly 

 informs me (January 1921) that it has been taken in 

 Northern Siam at Khun Than 3,600 ft. (Lat. 18° N.) and 

 near Thaungyin river. The example sent to me from the 

 former locality is referable to tira Fruhst., which is distin- 

 guished from the Eastern Himalayan form tytia Gray, by 

 the absence of a thick red cell-streak in the hind wing. 

 Fruhstorfer gives Assam and Tenasserim for the distribu- 

 tion of lira. The longer sub-apical streaks in the fore wing 

 and the presence of two whitish sub-apical dots in the hind 

 wing separate this subspecies clearly from the only 

 Malaysian subspecies, ethologa, which lacks these dots and 

 has the upper siibapical streaks considerably shortened.

Two more species of this subgenus occur in Malaysia,
