EUTHALIA. By H. Fruhstorfer. 
dant, although well uisuiuuted over the whole island up to about 2500 ft. I took this form on banana-bait. 
porta. — ■ parta Moore has been repeatedly mistaken for others, the in Staudinger’s collection being named 
phelada, the $$ yama. It is true that Moore’s figure of the <$ (1859) is not a good one, showing on the fore¬ 
wing not a trace of the white subapical transcellular streaks, only beneath a few faint remnants, more feeble 
than in cusama Fruhst. $$ smaller than in E. jama cusama Fruhst. of the Philippines. $ approaches yamuna 
$ from Perak, but with more sharply defined, narrower white median markings of the forewings. Hindwing 
with broader median band, more richly suffused with violet, the entire under surface darker. North Borneo, 
kmnnon. scarce. — krantion Fruhst. (137 d). $ is the darkest form of the collective species; under surface as dark 
as in E. jama cusama, but with conspicuous dark brown submarginal band, which in cusama is only feebly indi¬ 
cated. $ slightly variable, resembling that of kenodontus of North-East Sumatra, occasionally having the me¬ 
dian band obscured with grey, sometimes quite obsolete (137 d). Under surface more faded than in kenodontus, 
but the base deeper brown-yellow than i n E.alpheda. $. South-East Borneo. Discovered by Dr. L. Martin at Sin- 
sorctjbia. tang, South Borneo. — soregina suh.sp. nov. refers to the palest form having almost the entire surface of both 
wings covered with faded white median spots, and the under surface a faded whitish. Sulu Archipelago, God- 
man collection; type in the British Museum. 
E. numerica Weym. may be retained as a species of its own, presenting, especially in considerable 
differences from alpheda-jam,a. <$ beneath of a peculiar dark yellow colour, with sharp-pointed, long intranerval 
streaks which on the forewings reach the lower median; the submarginal lunulate or scalloped bands much more 
distinct than in alpheda jama,. $ much larger than the largest jama, $ from Assam, with increased white markings 
of the forewing and heavy submarginal bands. Rather scarce, especially the Island of Nias. 
E. eriphyle was based by its author on $<$ of two different species, namely otAhe true eriphyle (figured 
in 1891 by Niceville himself) and those of Euthalia apicalis Voll. or rather merta Moore, 3 specimens of which 
from Tenasserim in my collection are marked E. eriphyle by Niceville’s own hand. Moreover, the true $ of 
the species was mistaken by him for E. hinghami until Bingham, recognizing the true relationship between 
these “illegitimately married” forms, corrected it in his‘Fauna of British India’. Only he made the mistake of 
considering E. eriphyle identical with E. apicalis Voll. (recte E. merta Moore). But eriphyle is a very distinct 
species limited to Farther India, whereas E. merta Moore, although being also found in Tenasserim and the Malay 
eriphyle. Peninsula, belongs really to the Fauna of the Greater Sunda Islands. — eriphyle 'Nicer, resembles above 
E. chula (129 d), but the cell of the forewing and marginal area of the hindwing are much paler greenish-grey. 
$ approaches the figured chula $ (129 d), but the grey-white markings of the fore wing are hardly half as large 
and the hindwing lacks them altogether. Described from Central Tenasserim; Elwes says that eriphyle is the 
commonest Euthalia in the Karen Hills, where Doherty captured large numbers in March and April. I also 
delmana. saw a large series of specimens from Perak in the Tring Museum. —- delmana Swinh. is, according to its 
author, the rainy-season form of eriphyle, having both upper and under surface darker. Very scarce, only 
chain, two $3 from the Khasia Hills, Assam, known. — chula Fruhst. (129 d) refers to the form of Siam. of smaller 
size than eriphyle the brownish marginal markings of the hind wings somewhat more obscured and less exten¬ 
sive than in eriphyle. Underneath resembling the of luisiada (129 d), with nearly equally broad, dark brown, 
submarginal stripes. §: Forewings with irregular, grey dusted spots, repeated also beneath, but without the 
grey shading. Hindwing occasionally with whitish-grey subapical spot, as in our figure (129 d), or without 
it. Hindwing resembles beneath that of mindorana $, but with smaller submarginal spots, and with pale greenish 
basal area. I collected this form in January and February near Muok-Lek (Siam) at an altitude of about 1000 ft. 
linucli. —- lioneli Fruhst. (129 e), a much larger form of Tonkin, above deeper brown with median spots reduced and the 
costal markings of the forewing more heavily dusted with brown. Under surface deeper brown, the suffusion 
of the hindwing more blue-green and limited to the inner half, the black cellular spots oblong, sharply defined, 
as in mindorana (129 d). Tonkin, collected by me near Than-Moi in June and at Chiem-Hoa in August. 
E. lusiada replaces chula ; in the Philippines. Undoubtedly it has developed from the same form as 
the Indian eriphyle, surpassing it in size and richness of the greenish suffusion of the under surface. Its home
