482 L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin — Butterflies of Sumatra. [No. 3, 



494. Yasoda pitanb, de Niceville. 



T. •pitane, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. viii, p. 50, n. 10, 

 pi. L, fig. 5, male (1893). 



The female of this species still awaits discovery. Both, species of 

 Yasoda occur only at high elevations, Y, pita, Horsfield, in March, 

 October and December at Soengei Batoe, Y. pitane only on the Central 

 Plateau in March aud August. Both are really and actually rare 

 butterflies. 



495. Araotes lapithis, Moore. 



Found from Selesseh to Bekantschan, and is moderately rare in 

 forests from March to August. On the wing its habits are like those 

 of M. moorei, Distant, and, as the white band on the underside of the 

 forewing is not seen when resting with closed wings, is often taken 

 for that common species, and thus escapes being captured. 



496. Sithon nedymond, Cramer. 



Grose Smith as nedymond and chitra. Hagen as nedymond and chitra. 

 Staudinger. Kirby. Distant. S. nedymond is the male and S- chitra, 

 Horsfield, the female of one and the same species. Occurs over the 

 •whole of our area, as we possess specimens from Stabat, Selesseh, 

 Namoe Oekor, and from the Battak mountains, taken from March to 

 August, and October to December. In primeval forest on low bushes, 

 mostly resting on the underside of leaves. S. nedymond and S. chitra 

 are always taken at the same time and in the same localities, though 

 we have never succeeded in getting them paired. The species is far 

 less rare than it was formerly believed to be. 



497. Deodorix epijarbas, Moore. 



Moderately rare in forests from Selesseh to Bekantschan, the 

 female much rarer than the male. Males differ greatly in size, from 

 l - 2 to J "7 inches. Flies from March to August and agaiu iu December. 



498. Zinaspa distorta, de Niceville. 



A rare butterfly here as elsewhere, Dr. Martin has only four 

 specimens, three males and one female, the latter captured in January, 

 the former from June to August. Occurs from Namoe Oekor to 

 Soengei Batoe. 



499. Rapala deliochus, Hewitson. 



A very rare species. I caught a single male at Selesseh in October. 

 Dr. Martin possesses a few of both sexes from Selesseh to Bekantschan
