176 CATALOGUE OF BURMESE BUTTERFLIES. 



147. Andrapana martabana, Moore. 



Mr. Moore has named all my specimens, of what I con- 

 sidered to be Neptis ophiana, Moore, as N. mai'tabana. I 

 have two distinct varieties. The variety which I considered 

 to be N. ophiana has all the white markings larger on the 

 upper side, and the ground colour of the under side pale 

 brownish ferruginous. This variety occurs commonly in 

 Upper Burmah, in the hilly country, during the dry season, 

 and especially in February and March. The variety which I 

 had considered to be N. martabana, and which occurs only in 

 the rainy season, has the white markings on the upper side 

 smaller; and the ground colour of the under side is rich 

 chestnut-brown. I have no doubt that my varieties are dry 

 and wet weather forms of one insect. If N. ophiana extends, 

 as Mr. Distant writes that it does, into the Malayan Peninsula, 

 it is strange that a distinct species should occur in Burmah. 

 Since the above was written Mr. Moore has included both 

 forms under the name of A. columella, Cramer. 



148. A. juMBAH, Moore. 



Common on the Arracan coast in the cold season. 



149. A. KHASiANA, Moore. 



I have taken this uncommon butterfly both in the rains and 

 in the cold weather in Upper and Lower Burmah. It seems 

 to be very constant. 



150. A. MAGADHA, Felder. 



One female taken in Upper Burmah. 



151. Neptis adara, Moore. 



Very common in Burmah, as is also the form N. meetana, 

 which I have included under this name. The latter is the 

 dry weather form. 



152. N. susRUTA, Moore. 



This insect, named for me by Mr. Moore, is common in the 

 hilly parts of Burmah. I have never taken it in the south. 

 It varies greatly in size, and the wet season form approaches 

 nearly to N. adipala, Moore, except that it is invariably paler 

 in colour.
