Originally described from the Karen Hills, Burma. A very rare 

 species with the underside quite uniquely marked. Three specimens 

 from the Battak mountains in July. 



507. Rapala pheritima, Hewitson. 



Originally described from Borneo (Sarawak). It is recorded by 

 Moore in Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1883, p. 528, from Tounghoo in Burma, 

 Singapore, and Sumatra, but not from Borneo, from whence the type 

 came. Dr. Martin obtained a single pair in Indragiri in Eastern 

 Sumatra in February.

R. rhodopis, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. x, p. , n. 28, 

 pi. T, figs. 41, male; 42, female (1896). 



Occurs rarely in the Battak mountains in March, May, July, August,

Originally described from Burma, found also in Assam. Rare in 

 Sumatra, Dr. Martin possesses only two females, and I three males and 

 two females taken at low elevations. 



511. *Rapala melampus, Cramer. 



Snellen as Deudoryx [sic] melampus. Hagen as Deudoryx [sic] 

 melampus. As Heer P. C. T. Snellen has recorded this species in two of 

 his papers on the butterflies of Sumatra as well as Dr. Hagen, there can 

 be no reasonable doubt that it occurs in the island, though we have not 

 met with it. 



512. Rapala jarbas, Fabricius. 



Next to B. orseis, Hewitson, this is the commonest species of the 

 genus in Sumatra at low elevations, not higher than Namoe Oekor.
