Seems abundant in the Naga Hills, as also in East Pegu and the 

 Bernardmyo district. 



Taxila haquinus and var. pasciata. 



Pap. haquinus, Fabr, 



Abisara haquinus, Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 190, t. xviii. 13 ( $ ). 



Taxila fasciata, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 832, t. lii. 1 ( J ) ; Butt. 

 Ind. ii. p. 318. 



There appear to be two forms of this, one of which, T. 

 fasciata, Moore, distinguished by the absence of rufous colour on the 

 apex of the fore wing in the male and the less rufous tint of the 

 female, is common below the Karen Hills, and occurs also ia Tenas- 

 serim. In the Malay Peninsula at Perak the form which is identified 

 with haquinus (=drupadi, Horsf.) occurs. If no intermediate 

 examples exist, these forms can be distinguished.

Two forms of this also occur, of which the one found in East 

 Pegu is distinguished from the one taken at Perak by the band 

 across the apex of the fore wing beneath showing faintly through 

 the deep black of the upperside. 



Laxita damajanti.

Abisara tanita, Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 192, t. xviii. fig. 14 ($). 



This lovely species, for which I adopt Butler's genus Laxita {cf. 

 Trans. Linn. Soc, 2nd ser. Zool. i. p. 546 (1879); Butt. Ind. li. 

 p. 318), was taken at Perak. Distant, though he figures it under both 

 names, gives no reasons for so doing, and I am unable to distinguish 

 two species in the Malay Peninsula.
