‘The above two species are easily differentiated by the follow- 
ing characteristics :— 
(1) tharis (male): upperside of hind-wing has narrow grey- 
blue inner margin. 
etias (male): bee light blue inner marginal border extend- 
ing across the anal half of hind-wing. 
(11) tharis (both sexes) : on underside of hind-wing the post- 
discal black band is thin and of equal width. 
elias (both sexes): on underside of hind-wing this black 
band is usually heavier and always more so towards the 
inner margin. 
Injures. (i-iir) @, right tail cut short in two specimens, 
bitten out in a third.

1. De Nicéville placed the two genera Lorwra and Yasoda in group; only 
the first named occurs in Borneo. De Nicéville’s next group the Dewudorix 
Group may well be merged with Loruraria, as, although somewhat heteroge- 
neous, it is also characterised by a single tail and anal angle lobate. De Nicé- 
ville divided his Deudorix Group into two sub-groups (a) males without, (b) with 
secondary sexual characters. .
