288 ON BUTTERFLIES FROM PERAK. [-^pl*- 21, 



Singapore ; the other bears a note by Doherty as follows : — 

 " This may be a new species. I have caught many males of orphna, 

 Bdv., both in Borneo and the Malay Peninsula ; they all had the band 

 broad and equal." The bands of this specimen, however, are not 

 more than half as broad as in orphna and are indented in two places 

 on each side, so that they are half divided. It may be only an 

 occasional variety, but in any case I would not separate it without 

 some other specimens. 



SriBOGES NYMPHIDIA. 



Stiboges nymphidia, Butl. P. Z. S. 1876, p. 309, t. xxii. 1(5); 

 Butt. Ind. ii. p. 316, t. xxiv. 119($). 



Seems common at Perak. A single female, in which the border 

 is narrower, was taken at Momeit in Upper Burmah at about 2000 

 feet. 



DODONA DIPCEA. 



Dodona dipoea, Hew. Ex. Butt. \\\. Dod. i. i. 3 (1865) ; Butt. 

 Ind. ii. 311, t. xxiv. 116(d). 



Taken at about 6000 feet in the Naga Hills by Doherty. 



DoDONA OXJIDA. 



Dodona ouida, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 7/1 ; Butt. Ind. ii. p. 311. 

 This seems to be as common in the Karen Hills as in Sikkim and 

 the Khasias. 



DoDONA ADONIRA. 



Dodo7ia adonira. Hew. Ex. Butt. iii. Dod. t. i. 1,2; Butt. Ind. 

 ii. p. 312. 



Occurs in the Nasa Hills at 5000-6000 feet, but not commonly. 

 A single specimen also sent from Bernardmyo. 



DoDONA DEODATA. (Plate XXVII. fig. 8, S ') 



Dodona deodata. Hew. Eni. Mo. Mag. xiii. p. 151 (1876) ; Butt. 

 Ind. ii. p. 312. 



'I Dodona longicaudata, de Nicev. Proc. A. S. B. 1881, p. 121 ; 

 Butt. Ind. ii. 313, t. xxiv. 117(d). 



Several specimens taken in the Karen Hills at 4000-5000 feet are 

 intermediate between de Niceville's figure and Ilewitson's type, which 

 is much worn and broken. I think that there is little doubt that 

 the two names refer to one species, as the breadth of the white 

 band is variable, the base of the wings above is not really crossed 

 by three bands of brown, but is brown with (in some specimens) indi- 

 cations of the silvery stripes below, and the tails are broken off in 

 the type of D. deodata ; thus there remains nothing by which to 

 separate them. 



1 have not, however, any Khasia specimens for comparison, but 

 Doherty, who has seen them, considers it identical.
