 JSronia naraha, Moore, Proc. Zool. jSoc. Loud. 1877, p. 591, $ ? . 

 Males and a female. 



The Javan specimens of the male described by HorsBeld and figured 

 by Cramer both liave the black outer border o£ the anterior as well as the 

 posterior wings immaculate, and thus agree more closely with the S. Indian 

 (var. fingasa), Ceylonese (var. ceylonica), and Andamanese (var. namlca) 

 varieties. As might have been expected from its more northern station, 

 the Andamanese more nearly approaches the north Indian form (var. gaea). 



64. TaCHYRIS PAULINA. 

 Fap. patiUna, Cramer, Pap. Exot. vol. ii, pi. 110, figs. E, F, ^ . 

 Pieris alhina, Boisd., Sp. Gen. Lep. p. 480, S . 



Tachyris patiUna, Wallace, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1867, ser. 3, vol. iv, p. 369. 



Two males and two (white) females differing in no respect from those 

 of continental India (Naga Hills, Cachar, Bhutan, and Madras). 



Tachyris gahdhea, Felder, is a perfectly distinct race peculiar to 

 the Nicobars, whence we have specimens.

 Exot. Butt. vol. V, Pap. pi. xiv, fig. 45, ? , 



One female of the 3rd form {Moti Bam). 



This is the Andaman representative of the continental P. androgciis ; 

 it is interesting to find that it has acquired the red tails of its model, 

 P. rhodifer, the slight Andamanese modification of the continental P. 

 douhledayi. 



67. Papilio mato. 

 P. mayo, Atkinson, Proc. Zool, Soc. Lond. 1873, p. 736, pi. Ixiii, fig. 1, 

 Two males {A. de H. and 3Iofi Mam). The species was described by 

 Atkinson without acknowledgment from the specimens obtained by Moti 

 Ham.
