it in East Pegu, where it " seems to be very common in the Karen Hills, at from 

 1500 to 4000 feet " (Elwes, P. Z. S. 1891, 270). The Pegu males are riclily-coloured 

 orange-red, and have the markings above more like those in tessellate than in typical 

 Euthyniins. 



According to Mr. de Niceville (J. A. S. Bengal, 1886, 353), " E. Euthymius is, 

 judging from the specimens in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, an eminently variable 

 species, whose variations are in no wayrelated either to locality or to geographical 

 range, so that the term ' local race ' cannot be applied to the extreme dark form 

 named E. tessellata."

Imago. — Male. Upperside. Forewiivj differs from typical E. Eufhi/mius, in the 

 basal area being much darker coloured ; the markings being similar, but con- 

 spicuously more broader and more sharply defined, and on the forewing there is a 

 prominent inner- discal erect band which coalesces with the upper streak beyond the 

 cell. Eiiidwing with the basal area ochreous-brown, and the markings conspicuously 

 much broader, the discal series extending across from the subcostal vein. 



Female. Both wings also with much darker basal area, and vrith markings similar 

 to the male.

"We have here retained E. tessellata as differing from E. Euthymius. The male 

 type of tessellata was obtained from the " Darjeling " collection formed by the late 

 Arthur Grote, and the female type from the " Nepal " collection of the late General 

 G. Ramsay, and from these type specimens our figures on Plate 156 are taken. 

 Messrs. Wood-Mason and de Niceville (J. A. S. Bengal, 1886, p. 353, pi. xv. fig. 1) 

 describe and figure a male — identical with our type of tessellata — which is therein 

 stated to be laken from a Cachar specimen captured by Mr. "Wood-Mason on 

 Neraotha Peak in September.* 



* This same Cachar specimcu was previously referred to, under the name of E. Euthymius, by the 

 authors of the " Butterflies of India," p. 301, as being only " of a far deeper and richer orange-red " than aoy 

 other specimens we have ever seen;" but they do not there mention the diflferences in the markings 

 between that specimen and the others under their examination. Specimens from Sylhet, from the
