1S68.] MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE GENUS ADOLIAS. 61 I

A local representative of T. varuna. Lieut. Roberts has assured 

 me that the nearly allied species of the Adolias group are quite con- 

 stant to their localities ; otherwise I should have considered this to 

 be a variety of varuna,

This, though very closely allied to lutala, seems a good and con- 

 stant species. In the collection of Lieutenant Roberts there are ten 

 males and five females, not varying at all, from Singapore. The 

 under surface of the wings differs considerably in the opposite sexes. 



6. Tanaecia aruna.

 This seems very nearly allied to varuna.

The third joint of the palpi in this insect is very short, but needle- 

 like as in the other species.

I have examined eight specimens of both sexes, taken by Lieut. 

 Roberts in Malacca. The species appears scarcely to vary, althouo-h 

 one male individual in this collection has the external area of all the 

 wings unusually white.
