SYNONYMY OF SOME SPECIES OF INDIAN PIERINZ. 495 
C.—Hindwing not orange towards the anal angle ; no black spot 
in the upper median interspace of the forewing on the 
upperside. 
H. nama, Moore, 
H., lea is a common species in Southern Burma and usually stands 
under the name of H. amalia, Vollenhoven, as Burmese (and Malay) 
specimens generally differ from typical 4. lea from Borneo in having 
a narrower dark margin to the hindwing on the underside, and a 
greater extent of yellow suffusion on the same wing, but Mr. de Nicéville 
informs me that he finds these differences are not constant and that he 
sees no point on which the males of H.lea and HA. amalia can be 
separated, . 
HI. phryne occurs typically throughout the whole of peninsular 
India ; east of Calcutta it is replaced by a geographical race, H. dapha, 
Moore, and in the Andamans by a second race, H. lichenosa, Moore. 
The males of these three forms may be compared as below:— 
A.—Spot in upper median interspace on upperside of forewing 
clearly defined ; underside, hindwing yellow, the veins 
fuscous. 
H. PHRYNE, Fabricius. 
B.—Spot in upper median interspace on upperside of forewing 
clearly defined ; underside, hindwing white, the veins 
fuscous. 
H, papHa, Moore. 
C.—Spot in upper median interspace on upperside of forewing 
almost merged in marginal border ; underside, hindwing 
almost entirely suffused with greenish-yellow, the veins con- 
colorous. 
H. ticHenosa, Moore. 
The form which is referred to here as H. dapha stands under that 
name in the British Museum, and the writer has not been able to 
find out for certain under what name the local race should stand, but 
probably HZ. nerissa, Fabricius, will be found to be the oldest name. 
This form is very common throughout Burma and extends as far west 
as Sikkim, being replaced by H. phryne in the rest of the Indian 
region. It may be distinguished from typical H. phryne in all its 
forms by the ground-colour of the underside being white (tinged with 
greyish-ochreous in the dry-season form), whereas in H. phryne the
