 Habitat. Sumatra ; Borneo. — Symbrenthia Niasica. Male. Differs from Violetta on 

 the underside in the ground-colour being duller ochreous-yellow and all the red 

 markings very inconspicuous. On the forewing the small round spot between the 

 upper and micldle median is centred with ochreons-yellow and has a distinct blackish 

 outer attached mark, the lower-discal oblique fascia is also inwardly-edged with 

 yellow, in the Sumatran Violetta both these parts are distinctly violet. On the 

 hindwing the obsolescent conical spots are also entirely yellow, and are not speckled 

 with violet scales, the marginal lunular line is distinctly inwardly-bordered with blackish 

 lunules from the anal angle to the apex, the lunule above outer angle being blue 

 speckled. Female, Upperside with the bands similar but narrower than in Violetta. 

 Underside paler than in male, the ground-colour and markings similar to Violetta, 

 except that on the hindwing the marginal lunular line has a more or less defined 

 inwardly-bordered shade. Habitat. Nias (Coll. Swinboe and British Museum), —

 have compared Wallace's type specimen, now in the Oxford University Museum, with 

 male Sumatran and Bornean examples. A Sumatran female, in Mr. Godman's 

 collection, has all the bands on the upperside broader and paler fulvous than in 

 male ; the ground-colour on the underside is slightly paler, but with all the dark 

 reticulated markings the same as in male, except that on the forewing the two 

 transverse discal slender lines between the lower median and submedian are joined 

 together longitudinally in their middle and form a distinct yellow letter ^, Habitat.
