Mergui Archipelago and Sumatra. 



An intermediate-season form (of which the wet and dry 

 forms are unknown to me). Capt. Watson thought that 

 T. kana might be the wet-season form of T. sari but we 

 have what I believe to be the wet form of (the race ?) T. so- 

 dalis from Ceylon, and it agrees with the latter exactly in 

 the pattern of the upper surface, whereas T. kana is more 

 like a small broad-bordered T. suava. 



43. Terias curiosus.

Karachi. 



The late Capt. Watson regarded this as an aberration of 

 " T. hecabe" but to my mind it has far more the character 

 of T. sodalis; it may be distinct from either, and (in the 

 absence of evidence) I therefore leave it. 



44. Terias sari. 



Terias sari, Horsfield, Cat. Lep. E. I. C. p. 136 (1829). 



Terias sodalis, Moore, Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xxi. p. 45 (1886). 



Ceylon, Nilghiris, Burma, Mergui Archipelago, Malacca, 

 Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Sulu Archipelago, Palawan. 



The examples from the mainland and Mergui, as well as 

 the wet-season examples from Ceylon, have usually a narrower 

 border to the secondaries, though one example from Malacca 

 has this border fairly broad ; these would represent T. sodalis. 

 The forms from Sumatra northwards to Palawan have this 

 border somewhat broader and are typical T. sari. Both 

 names were given to the dry-season phase. 



45. Terias sarilata. 



Terias sari, var. sarilata, Semper, Reisen Philipp. ii. v. pi. xii. figs. 10- 

 12 (1891). 



Davao, Philippines. 



Only the dry form is known to me. 



Yar. ? mindorana. 



Two females. The outer borders of the wings above 

 occupying from one third to two fifths of the wing-surface ;
