43. *Euplcea (Narmada) consimilis, Felder. 



Moore. Originally described from Java. Unknown to us from 

 Sumatra. 



44. Euplcea (Narmada) martjnii, de Niceville. 



E. (Narmada) martinii, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. viiij 

 p. 38, n. 2, pi. K, figs. 3, male; 4, female (1893). 



Not uncommon in the higher mountains and on the Central Plateau, 

 but never below 3,000 feet elevation. In this species both sexes yvere 

 almost always brought in equal numbers. It is almost unrivalled in 

 the male in the rich velvety deep black coloration of its upperside. 



45. Euplcea (Stictoplcea) harrisii, Felder. 



Grose Smith as tyrianthina. Hagen as thy riant ina [sic]. Moore as 

 tyrianthina. As I can exactly match Sumatran specimens of E. tyrian- 

 thina, Moore, with Khasi Hill examples of E. harrisii, Felder, I record 

 the species under the latter name, as it is much the older. E. harrisii 

 is richly blue-glossed, in spite of Mr. Moore having stated the contrary 

 in Lepidoptera Indica, vol. i, p. 138 (1891). In Sumatra it is, as this 

 species goes, fairly constant, though the spots on both wings as usual 

 shew considerable variation both as to size and number. I possess some 

 which coincide precisely, spot for spot, and in the extent of the blue 

 coloration, with Mr. Moore's figure of Stidoplosa croivleyi (I.e., pi. lii, 

 fig. 2, male). For notes on the variability and synonomy of E. harrisii, 

 see de Niceville, Proceedings Asiatic Society Bengal, 1892, n. 158. In 

 Sumatra it is found in the alluvial plain and also as high as Bekantsehan 

 and Kepras in the hills. The female is as usual very rare. Dr. Martin 

 caught his first male specimen under the roof of a wooden bridge over 

 the Bindjei river near Namoe Oekor. 



46. *Euplcea (Stictoplcea) picina, Butler. 



E. picina, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1866, p. 280, n. 36, pi. xix, fig. 1, male. 

 Butler. Moore. Originally described from Sumatra. Unknown 



to us. 



47. *Euplcea (Stictoplcea) inconspicua, Butler. 



Butler. Moore. Originally described from Sumatra. Unknown 



to us.
