deviates from the two preceding forms in the greater width and irregularity of the white median band on the 
forewing and the more prominent submarginal band on the hindwing. Under surface paler red-broAvn than in 
epibaris. amharina, with all white markings increased. — epibaris Fruhst. (123 d) has the white markings somewhat 
reduced, although less so than in arnhara amhara. Under surface dark slaty-grey, somewhat like the Borneo 
form. $$ easily distinguished by the broader median bands, which are rather of a yellowish than bluish-white 
tone. Both forms are found side by side in North-East and West Sumatra at elevations of 3000 ft. and above, nearly 
all the year round. Martin states that baris is in the higher mountains the commonest Pantoporia species, especially 
farfara.'abundant in December and January. —■ jadava Fldr. is almost exclusively confined to the higher mountains. 
On Gede it was pretty abundant at an elevation of 4000 ft., also in the Tengger Mountains (Eastern Java) 
it is occasionally found. $ differs from the dry-season form of Sikkim in the entire lack of the red basal streak 
and of the third subapical spot on the forewing. $ is smaller, with more sharply defined, clearer white bands. 
Beneath it recalls bahula Moore from Assam in the darker ground-colour. Eastern and western Java. 
P. zeroca is an insignificant looking species, distinctly subject to seasonal Dimorphism. like galae- 
sus (123 e), occasionally with red-brown basal streak in the discoidal cell of forewing. $ recalls gandara (124 b) 
and Neptis cartica Moore in the grey-brown colouring. It nowhere leaves the Indo-Chinese Region, being found 
from Kumaon to Upper Tenasserim, Siam and Tonkin. The dry-season form is smaller in size marked with broa-

surface white, those of the rainy-season suffused with violet, on a pale or dark red-brown ground. $ resembling 
that of selenophora, yellowish to grey-brown, occasionally with a gold-like lustre. Doherty found zeroca in 
the Kumaon Himalayas at 2—3000 ft., greatly subject to variation; in Sikkim from March till December, at 
3800 ft.; also in Bhotan, Assam, Karen Hills. —• Specimens from the last named locality are probably identical 
galaesus. Avitli galaesus subsp. nov. ( 1 23 e), a rather small form, with narrower white median, but larger apical spots on 
the forewing than are found in the dry-season form of zeroca. Beneath with more prominent, median spots. 
$ has the bands pale yellow margined with reddish-ochreous, sharply contrasting with the smoky-grey bands 
of zeroca. Under surface red-brown in costal area, otherwise grey-brown. Collected by me in Siam during the 
meinippus. dry-season in January at about 1000 ft. — meinippus subsp. nov. resembles in colouring and markings the rainy- 
season form of zeroca , although it was taken in the dry-season. Apical spots on forewing absent or obsolete, 
Avhite median area rather broader than in <§<$ from Assam. Under surface dark red-brown. $ of the rainy- 
season form is so much like that of nefte matthiola (124 b) and so different from that of zeroca, that in 1896 I

P. cam a. the largest Pantoporia species in North India, at once distinguished from all the other bright 
coloured species by the fulvous subapical spot on the fore wing which varies in size according to the locality. 
Both wings with a clear white median band margined by a lovely pale blue or violet. Under surface chiefly 
pale reddish-ochreous, hindwing with sharply-defined whitish submarginal band, intensely suffused with violet, 
purple or flesh colour. $ above black with broad, light or dark ochreous bands. Beneath like <$. The two 
cama. known Continental forms are subject to seasonal Dimorphism. — cama Moore is the rainy-season form, with

reddish cellular streak absent or obsolete, under surface more faded pale yellow without any dark median spots 
on the hindwings. $ above with broader, paler yellow bands (123 c). From the Kumaon Himalaya to Assam, 
camasa. at altitudes of from 2 — -5000 ft. exceedingly abundant, especially in Assam, $ more scarce. — camasa Fruhst. 
(123 c), a local form distinguished by its large size, the uncommonly broad apical spots on the forewing and the 
broader white bands on both Avings, which are more profusely margined with pale instead of dark violet. In colour¬

in the absence of the red cellular streak on the forewing. Median band narroAver, bordered with darker blue. The
