which were captured near Kampong Naman and Kampong Beras 

 Tepoe on the Central Plateau. Mr. Grose Smith's record of both 

 L. dudu and L. bockii from Sumatra is almost certainly incorrect. 



190. Limenitis (Moduza) procris, Cramer. 



Hagen. Distant. A common species everywhere, but not found 

 higher than Bekantschan, as the food-plant of the larva does not grow 

 at the higher elevations. The butterfly is fond of wet places and faeces 

 on roads, to which it always returns after being disturbed. If pursued 

 it retires for a short time into the jungle, and settles on the leaves. 

 It is never met with in large forest. 



191. Pandita sinope, Moore. 



Hagen. Is now very rare in Deli at low elevations, occurs in Dr. 

 Martin's fruit garden at Bindjei and at Selesseh, but never at a higher 

 elevation. In the time before so much of the forest had been destroyed 

 for tobacco cultivation in Deli it was more common, and always shewed 

 a preference for small forest or the boundaries of large forest, seldom 

 found within the precincts of the latter. 



192. Athyma perius, Linnaeus. 



Hagen as perius, Aurivillius [sic]. Snellen as leucothoe. Common 

 everywhere from near the sea and extending to the Central Plateau. 

 This species also was very plentiful before the advent of the tobacco 

 cultivation, but is now somewhat rare in those districts. As soon as these 

 are left behind it appears everywhere on roads and the margins of small 

 forest. It is doubtless a good mimic of our commonest species of Neptis, 

 N. leucothoe, Cramer, together with which it is always found, and from 

 which it is not easily differentiated on the wing, but, if pursued, it at 

 once assumes its stronger and bolder proper Athyma-like flight. 

 Occurs also at Asahan and in the Gayoe-lands. 



393. Athyma larymna, Doubleday and Hewitson. 



Grose Smith. Snellen. The largest of all our Athymas, occurs 

 all over our area with the exception perhaps of the Central Plateau. 

 Is decidedly rare, and always found only singly on faeces and moist 

 spots on forest roads. Every year Dr. Martin captured two or three 

 specimens on the muddy banks of the Soengei Diski River near 

 Paya Bakong. 



194. Athyma idita, Moore. 



Grose Smith. Has the same range and occurs in similar places
