1886.] Insects collected in Tavoy and in Siam. 425 



72. Neptis soma. 



N. soma, Moore, Proc, Zool. Soc. Lond., 1858, p. 9, n. 17, pi. xlix, fig. 6. 

 One specimen from Ponsekai agrees exactly with. Eastern Hima- 

 layan specimens. 



73. Neptis susruta ? 



N. susruta, Moore, Proo. Zool. Soo. Lond., 1872, p. 563, pi. xxxii, fig. 4. 

 Two males from Tavoy. They agree fairly well with Upper Tenas- 

 serim specimens of this species in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, named by 

 Mr. Moore, but have all the bands and spots of the upperside pure white 

 not ferruginous (? fuliginous) white. 



74. Neptis batara. 



N. hatara, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1881, p. 310. 



One male specimen from Tavoy so named by Mr. Moore. The 

 type was from Sumatra. It is very near to N. miah, Moore, but bias 

 the orange bands on the upperside broader throughout. 



Neptis {Bahinda) plagiosa, Moore. 



75. Neptis {Bahinda) dorelia. 



jy. dorelia, Butler, Trans. Linn. Soc, Zoology, second series, vol. i, p. 542, n. 7, 

 pi. Ixviii, fig. 3 (1877). 



A single female from Tavoy so named by Mr. Moore. It has the 

 second subcostal nervule of the forewing given off after the apical termi- 

 nation of the cell, but Mr. Distant places this species in the other section 

 of the genus which contains the true Neptes. In the Indian Museum, 

 Calcutta, are numerous specimens of a Neptis taken by Dr. Anderson 

 in tbe Mergui Archipelago which Mr. Moore has also ticketed " Neptis 

 dorelia.'^ These latter have the second subcostal nervule of the forewino* 



o 



given of£ some distance before the apex of the cell. As there is much 

 confusion regarding this species, we trust that some one will clear it up 

 by referrins^ to the type of dorelia, and stating whether it is a Bahinda 

 or a Neptis. The Mergui specimens are we believe iV. sattanga, Moore. 



76. Stmph^dra dirtea. 



Papilio dirtea, Fabricius, Ent. Syst., vol. iii, pt. 1, p. 59, n. 184 (1793). 



Three males and two females from Tavoy and Ponsekai. These 



specimens agree in some particulars with the S. pardalis of Moore, but 



as 8. dirtea is an eminently variable species even in the same locality, 



the former species cannot in our opinion be retained even as a local race. 



77. EUTHALIA (Dophla) DUNYA. 



Adolias dunya, Doubleday and Hewitson, Gen. Diurn. Lep,, vol. ii, p. 291, n. 6, 

 pi. xliv, fig. 3 (1850). 



A single male from Tavoy. It occurs also in Mergui, Perak, Suma- 

 tra, and Borneo, and seems to be very constant throughout its range.
