 A pair from Perak which seem to come nearest to this species, and 

 are identical with specimens from Pulo Laut.

Five males of this beautiful and distinct species were taken at 

 the foot of the Karen Hills. I am not sure that it will come into 

 this genus, though it seems best placed here at present.

Several specimens of this species from the Karen Hills and Perak. 

 The white colour of the underside distinguishes it perfectly from

There seem to be three forms of this common butterfly, but 

 I think they run into each other and are hardly separable. The 

 first has two black spots within the white field of the hind wing and 

 large marginal oblong dashes ; I have it from the N.W. Himalaya, 

 Nepal, and Sikkim, and one from the Naga Hills. The second 

 has no spots within the field, and occurs in Sikkim, Bhutan, the 

 Naga Hills, and Tenasserim. The third, of which I have a 

 female marked T. menaka by Moore, I have only from the Karen 

 Hills. It has the spot in the white field, but the marginal spots 

 small, round, and separate, not united into a band as in the other two. 

 From Malabar I have only one specimen, which combines the 

 characters of the last two. From Pulo Laut I have two specimens, 

 of which one is like T. menalca, and the other has the marginal spots 

 of the hind wing almost absent.

Four specimens from Perak and one from Margharita have the 

 white outer band of the fore wing spotless as figured by Distant, 

 whilst two from Perak, one from the Karen Hills, and one from 

 Burmah have two black spots on the white. There is also some
