626. Satarupa affinis, Druce. 



The " Tagiades" niphates, Weymer, Stet. Ent. Zeifc., vol. xlviii, p. 15, 

 n. 13, pi. i, fig. 5, male (1887), from West Sumatra (Padang) is a 

 synonym, of this species. In Sumatra it occurs at the same elevations 

 as S. gojpala, Moore, but also lower down on the outer hills. It is a 

 much commoner butterfly, and flies throughout the year. 



627. * Satarupa sambara, Moore. 



Hagen. This is probably an incorrect identification, the last-named 

 species being intended. Herr G. Weymer notes (1. c.) that Tagiades 

 cosima, Plotz, described from North India, is a synonym of this species. 



628. Odina hieroglyphica, Butler. 



Excessively rare, only one specimen from Bekantschan in October, 

 1893.* 



629. * Tagiades japetus, Cramer. 



Snellen. Hagen. Originally described from Amboina. We have 

 nothing from Sumatra agreeing exactly with Cramer's figure, which 

 shews on the forewing the usual three subapical transparent whits dofs, 

 two similar spots in the discoidal cell, and two on the disc divided by 

 the second median nervule. It is very closely allied to the next species. 



630. Tagiades gana, Moore. 



Snellen. Hagen as gaua [sic]. Not rare in the plains. 



631. TAGrADES atticus, Fabricius. 



Occurs commonly over the whole of our area. 



* I take this opportunity to describe a butterfly closely allied to Odina hiero- 

 glyphica. 



Odina ortygia, de Niceville, n. sp. 



Habitat : Daunat Range, Tenasserim, Burma. 



Expanse : Male, 1*45 inches. 



Description: Male. Closely allied to " Plastingia" hieroglyphica, Butler, 

 described from Sarawak (Borneo), differing therefrom on both surfaces in having 

 all the black markings reduced by half, all the orange markings therefore greatly 

 enlarged. It may be said (to judge from Mr. Butler's figure) that 0. hieroglyphica 

 is a black insect with yellow spots, while 0. ortygia is a yellow insect with narrow 

 black lines dividing the surface into irregular orange tessellations. 



I hope to more fully describe and figure this very beautiful butterfly at a sub- 

 sequent date. The type is unique in my collection.
