(2). The form of Enispe euihymius, Db, from Burma, Siam and the Malay- 

 Peninsula is separated as race intermedia. Roth ; it is intermediate between 

 euihymius and durania, Fruh. (N. W. xxiii) 



(3). Thauria laihyi, Fruh, described from Tonkin is a species distinct 

 from -aliris, Wd, described from Borneo. In Burma we have aliris interme- 

 dia, Crowley, from N. Burma; aliris pseudaliris. But, from S. Burmah and 

 Tenasserim ; lathyi amplifascia, Roth, from South and Central Burma and 

 Tenasserim. In Toungoo the two species occur together ; intermedia differs 

 from amplifascia in that the oblique light bands are wider and the male has 

 very conspicuous cellular androconial tufts. (N. Z. xxiii and A. M. N. H. 

 xvii, 474). 



(4). Stictopthalma camadeva nagaensis. Roth, from the Naga Hills. Much 

 paler than camadeva, Wd, or camadeovides, DeN, and at once conspi- 

 cuous by the golden yellow costa and small chevrons on the forewing ; 

 below all the transverse lines are much straighter. (N.Z. xxiii). 



(5). In A. M. N. H. xvii, 474, Stictopthalma godfreyi, Roth, is described 

 as a new species from Siam, near camhodia. Hew, from Cambodia. Mr. O. C. 

 Ollenbach obtained a specimen of godfreyi from Taungshaun, Taung. Tavoy, 

 caught on May 17th, 1917. A forewing of the same species was picked 

 up by Mr. Ollenbach in the neighbourhood of Tavoy in February 1918. 

 Godfreyi is a very distinct species of the size of camadeva, Wd, the ground 

 colour above being very dark brown ; there is a double postdiscal row of 

 large white spots, terminating on the costa in a large white patch : along 

 the termen there are a series of chestnut coloured chevrons. Below the 

 ground colour is a dark fulvous ; there are two ocelli on the forewing and 

 three on the hindwing. 



24. Dr. Chapman in Novitates Zoologicae xxii. p. 80, gives an analysis 

 of the genus Curetis based on an examination of the male genitalia. The 

 thetis section has the harpe soft and hairy and contains the following 

 species ; Q). thetis, Drury, from N. India to the Malay Peninsula ; (2). 

 phcedrus, Fab, always paler, from Bengal to Ceylon ; (3). saronis, M, from the 

 Andamans, with vace nicobarica, Swin, from the Nicobars and race gloriosa, 

 M, from Sylhet to Burma ;in saronis the postdiscal line is always distinct, 

 while the lunules between veins 5 and 6 on the forewing hardly project 

 beyond the others as they do in thetis. In the bulis group the harpe is 

 smooth and hard ; below the bands are not parallel to the margin as they 

 are in the thetis group, this group contains the following species : (1) bulis, 

 Db and Hew, from the N. W. Himalayas to Malayana, with felderi, Dist, as 

 possiblya race from S. Tenasserim and the Malay Peninsula ; (2) sperthis, Fd, 

 from Malayana and not recorded from India ; (3) acuta, M, differing from bulis 

 in having a constantly smaller sedagus while there is always a dark tooth 

 projecting from the dark costal border into the discal red area ; paracuta,. 

 DeN, is given as the Chinese race, acMto occurring in N. India and Burma^ 

 while dentata, M, stigmata. M, and angulata, M, are treated as synonyms. 

 This is a very useful analysis, but I do not understand acuta, which was 

 described from China and ^aracwto from Japan ; acuta is the oldest name 

 and might represent the Chinese race, while dentata would be the name 

 for the Indian race. Again thetis =^ phcedrus is the name usually given 

 to the form from South India and Ceylon, while gloriosa, M, is the N. 

 Indian and Burmese species : I do not know where the types of thetis or 

 phcedrus came from : —
