116 BUTTERFLIES OF BORNEO. 



Butler now regards (A. M. N. H. (7) vol. viii. p. 357' 

 1901) his type female as equivalent to E. somadeva, 

 Feld. a species described in 1867 from a single female 

 specimen said to come from N. India and the male of 

 Felder's species he considers to be E. cordelia, Fruhst. 

 even though Fruhstorfer has described that species from 

 both male and female specimens. Moore (Lep. Ind. 

 vol. iii. p. 110) considers both the male and female of 

 E. laverna Butl. to be the same as E. somadeva, Feld. 

 All this is the purest guess work and for the present 

 I prefer to let Butler's name stand and to exclude 

 E. somadeva from the Bornean fauna until further 

 evidence of its' habital is forthcoming. So far as I know 

 Butler having relegated to E. somadeva his type $ 

 laverna has not described what he considers to be the 

 true 9 of the species. 



In Northern Borneo, the bluish-green colour on the 

 upperside of the hind-wings in the males becomes re- 

 placed by violaceous and the hind-wings of the females 

 also become slightly' tinged with this shade, whereas in 

 South country females the hind-wings are brown ; it is 

 interesting to note that in the genus Tancecia there is 

 a similar tendency towards a violet colouration of the 

 hind-wings in species from Northern Borneo, Southern 

 forms being more or less unicolorous.

Confined to Borneo. 



This species with its aberration ilka from Kina Balu 

 is very close, perhaps too close to the preceding species, 

 but it occurs in the same area with it and is constantly 

 different from it though only slightly.
