102. PORITIA PHRAATICA. 

 p. phraatica, Hewitson, 111. Dinm. Lep., p. 214, n. 2, pi. Ixxxviii, fig. 2, female 

 (1878). 



A pair of this pretty species, so named by Mr. Moore, in bad 

 condition from Ponsekai. The male does not at all agree with Distant's 

 figure of this species. It seems near to P. sumatrcey Felder, but is 

 quite distinct. 



Ambltpodia taooana, Moore. 



Narathura moolaiana, Moore. 



*103. NiLASERA CENTAURUS. 

 Papilio centaurus, Fabricius, Syst. Ent., p. .520, n. 329 (1775). 

 Amllypodia nakula, Felder, Wien. Ent. Monatsch., vol. iv, p. 395, n. 4 (1860). 

 Arhopala nakula, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1878, p. 835. 



Three specimens from Tavoy and Ponsekai. 



NiLASERA viHARA, Felder. 

 Arhopala vihara, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1878, p. 835. 



104. Satadra agaba. 



Amhlypodia agaba, Hewitson, Cat. Lye, B. M., p. 8, n. 39, pi. iv, figa. 39, 40, 

 female (1862). 



One male from Tavoy so named by Mr. Moore. The male is unde- 

 scribed. It differs from the female only in being pnrple rather than 

 bright blue on the upperside, the outer margins narrowly and evenly, 

 instead of broadly, black. Underside like the female. 



Sdrendra quercetorum, Moore. 

 Thaduca multicaudata, Moore. 



Family PAPILIONID^. 

 Subfamily PiERiNiE. 

 *105. Terias hecabe. 



Papilio hecabe, Linnaeus, Syst. Nat., ed. x, p. 470, n. 74 (1758). 



A few specimens from Tavoy, Ponsekai, and the hills, which, as 

 usual in almost all localities, vary considerably ; some of them might per- 

 haps be called T. sari, another T. hecaheoides, another T. uniformis by 

 those who believe in the minute subdivision of this genus which has been 

 carried out by Messrs. Butler and Moore. But for our part we are quite 

 unable to see how the majority of these species can be defined, and 

 we think that, when the whole genus comes to be critically revised by 

 the light of modern ideas, instead of twenty or thirty, not more than 

 five or six species will be recognised in India. 



Terias suava, Boisduval. 



Terias silhetana, Wallace.
