an elevation of about 2000 ft. — suidas subsp. nov. closely follows the East Javanese form, having the whitish sui/las. 
median macular band on the forewing still sharper and narrower. Island of Bali, very scarce; type in the Staf- 
oinger collection. — nivepicta Fruhst. (129 b). $ with distinct white-grey, angled semi-band on the upper nivepicla. 
surface of the forewings; $ as figured, with moderately broad, grey-white median area; underneath the band 
continues on the hindwings to near the anal angle, being nearly twice as broad as in aconthea. Island of Lombok, 
at elevations of about 2000 ft., near the Sassack villages in fruit-orchards; occasionally found sipping the 
sap of the Areng Palm. Scarce. — asvatha subsp. nov. has on the forewing the bands much narrower and blur- a&vntha. 
red brown-grey, continuing also on the upper surface of the hindwings. Sumbawa, type in the Tring Museum; 
I $ in the Staudinger collection. To this form I suppose belonged also that Euthalia near E. garuda 
which Doherty saw on Sumba without being able to capture it. According to Shelford aconthea occurs 
also in Borneo, but I have never seen specimens from there. 
E. jama is a rare species of India where it has developed three local forms each of which again va¬ 
ries seasonally. — jamida Fruhst. (129 c) is the form of the dry-season found in Sikkim. $ smaller than jamida. 
that of the Assam form, above traversed with less broad stripes of black. $ with insignificant grey-brown 
streaks beyond the cell of the forewing. Under surface pale grey-brown, at the base suffused with green, 
and with obsolete dark brown bands. The $ of the rainy season has all the whitish grey portions of the fore¬ 
wing reduced. According to Niceville scarce and limited to the lower hills in Sikkim. —- jama Fldr. (129 c) jama. 
has, especially in $ of the rainy-season form, the transcellular spots on the forewings very distinct, clear white, 
arranged in the form of arches. $<$ beneath darker, more broadly and deeper brown, with clearer whitish- 
brown subapical striae. Assam. — verena subsp. nov. is closely allied to jamida, but smaller, and the above verena. 
paler brown. The hyaline spots beyond the cell of the fore wing still more reduced, and nearly obsolete also 
on the under surface which is faded grey-brown. Type from Upper Burma. — phelada Semp. hardly differing phelada. 
above from the Sikkim form, but beneath the colour is much darker, the grey and blue portions having been 
replaced by brown. $ according to Semper’s figure, with nearly obsolete white streaks on the forewings. Scarce. 
Luzon, June till November; also Mindoro. — cusama subsp. nov. $ resembles phelada , $ differing in the cusama. 
increased hyaline markings of the forewing in which it approaches jama Fldr. and other continental forms. Min¬ 
danao, Camiguin de Mindanao. <$ in Fruhstorfer’s ,$$ in the Semper coll, of the Senckenberg Museum 
at Francfort, and in the Staitdinger collection. 
E. alpheda replaces E. jama in the Macromalayan Region, being related to the continental form in the 
same way as E. aconthea Cr. is to E. garuda Moore. But we keep it here separate on account of the increased 
hyaline markings of the forewings of the $ which continue to the submedian, whereas the hyaline streaks 
on the upper surface of the $$ have disappeared. — yamuna Fruhst. (129 c) approaches in $ alpheda from yamuna. 
Java (129 b), lacking likewise the white median spots on the hindwings, but with broader white bands on the 
forewings. Above it is paler grey-brown than alpheda. Malay Peninsula, scarce. — kenodontus Fruhst. (129 c) kenodontus 
inhabits Sumatra, resembling in either sex much more the Borneo form than E. alpheda from the neighbouring 
Java. $ beneath deeper brown than alpheda $; $ forewing somewhat like yamuna $, but with less distinct 
median stripes. Hindwing with a broad white median band, broadly'suffused with purple in specimens from the 
North-East. Under surface of $ specimens from the Sultanate of Deli heavily spotted and striped with brown, 
in the form from the West of the island pale grey, resembling the Javanese race. Very scarce, Dr. Martin 
obtaining within 13 years only 3 JcL The Fruhstorfer collection contains 2 from North-Eastern Sumatra 
and one pair from the Paclang Bovenlanden. — bankana Fruhst., an uncommonly pale form of the island of bankana. 
Banka; smaller than all its allies, with uncommonly deeply obscured submarginal bands. The subapical striae 
on the under surface of the forewings are very short, but prominent. $ somewhat paler grey-brown than that 
of E. aconthea-, the subapical band of the forewing considerably broader costally. Beyond the two black rings 
in the cell of the fore wings a faint whitish area. On the hindwing the median band is broadly suffused with 
violet, accompanied distally by larger brown submarginal spots than in yamuna. $ type in the Leiden Museum. 
A number of in the Munich Museum. — alpheda Godt. (129 b) inhabits solely Java, having not spread even alpheda. 
to Bali. $ above of a deeper olive green than the other insular forms, the transcellular white spots clearer, 
not reaching further than the upper median, whence it continues to the inner angle in the shape of a pale 
yellowish-grey band. <$ beneath pale grey green, ^ greenish with faded whitish-violet outer area. Not very abun-
