Nicev., a very good subspecies almost deserving to class as a distinct species. $ resembles gupta having 
the ground-colour pale brown with distinct black submarginal spots. Median spots of the forewing isolated. 
Hindwing has the intranerval spots ringed with black, gradually decreasing in size from the costa to the anal 
angle. $ approaches externa $, but has on the forewing the white spots very long, band-shaped. On the hind¬ 
wing the spots are as in the J, but larger. Grounel-colour pale yellow-brown. Island of Palawan, very scarce. 
E. recta is much rarer than E. teuta, occurring like this in two broods, one of the dry-season with very 
broad longitudinal bands on both wings, $ with monotonous red-brown under surface; the form of the wet-season 
having the under surface dark brown, richly cloueleel with black. Two local forms have been described: recta 
Nicev. (131 c); our own as well as Moore’s figure (Lepicl. Inelica p. 212) represent the form of the wet season. 
Rather abundant in Assam, very scarce in Burma, where Bingham took one $in Thoungyeen Forest. — monilis 
Moore differs from E. teuta affinis Lathy with which it associates, in the sharply defined, pale stripes both 
above and below, and the reel spot at the anal angle. Although it is of much smaller size than recta, the bands, 
especially of the hindwing, are much wider. Both Moore’s type anel two specimens I took in January display 
the pale colouring due to the dry-season. Central Siam, Muok-Lek. — cosana subsp. nov. refers to a darker 
form with narrower, whitish-yellow stripes; hindwing with larger anal spot of red. Under surface more brillantly 
grey-violet than in Assam $ type in the Staudinger collection at Berlin. According to Moore a J 
taken by Doherty in Perak in January is in the Godman collection of the British Museum. 
E. labotas Hew. (131 b), described by its author as a Limenitis, seems to be confined to the North 
and East of Celebes, being neither by myself nor by Doherty found in the South of the island. The $$ are easier 
to capture than the smaller, slightly darker <$<$. Beneath whitish-grey, with deep brown intranerval submar¬ 
ginal shading. Minahassa, one $ from the island of Lemben to the North of Tondano, another one from 
Kendari, Eastern Celebes, (January) in the Frxjhstorfer collection. 
E. nara inhabits the Eastern Himalayas and western China, whence two forms are known which, although 
the $$ are more or less alike, are sharply separated in the <$ sex. Probably some intermediate forms will 
still be found in Yunnan and Tibet, nara Moore (130 c) is particularly interesting on account of the distinct 
Dimorphism of the sexes. The <$<$ vary in that on the upper surface of the hindwings the yellow costal spots 
may be isolated, as in our figure, or confluent. Under surface of the <$£ of a peculiar yellowish-green shaded 
with black, of the $$ pale blue-green. My collection contains $$ with broad, complete white band on the hind¬ 
wing as well as such in which the band only reaches the middle of the wing (Elwes, Naga Hills). Not very 
scarce in Bhotan, but extraordinarily rare in Sikkim where it occurs at about 6000 ft. of altitude from July 
till September. Moore’s type came presumably from Nepal. Doherty found a somewhat different form in 
the Naga Hills, July and August, at 8—9000 ft. — omeia Leech (= $ consobrina Leech) (Vol. I, p. 190, pi. 
58c, d), distinguished by the broadly pale golden-yellow costal area of the hindwing. $ smaller than nara $, 
wings more rounded; forewing with narrower white semi-band. Collected by Leech on Omei-Shan and at Mupin; 
also from Siao-Lu in my collection. ■—- alutoya subsp. nov. is intermediate between nara and omeia. Fore¬ 
wing striped as in omeia ; shape of wings as in nara , but the white band consists of shorter, more quadrate instead 
of oblong spots. Beneath it resembles rather nara than omeia. China, locality not given. 
E. khama Alph. sinica Moore) (Vol. I, p. 190) enters Indian territory as dubernardi Oberth. (Vol. I, 
p. 190). Yunnan, Tseku. 
E. strephon Srn. (Vol. I, p. 190), likewise allied to the nara group, from Omeishan, Western China. 
The locality Tientsin is erroneous, should be Tientsuen. 
E. sahadeva which had until lately been thought to occur only on the main land, was discovered also 
in Formosa by H. Sauter. Although its sexual differentiation is less pronounced than in nara, it varies more 
individually. — sahadeva Moore, described from specimens that probably came from Nepal or Sikkim. <§ 
above pale olive green, marked with 5 dull whitish yellow spots united into a sort of band. In the $ these 
spots are nearly clear white. On the hindwing the has 6 yellowish patches. Very scarce in Sikkim. August 
and September; somewhat more abundant in Bhotan where it was discovered, together with E. nara, by Gen. 
Ramsay. — nadaka subsp. nov. (130 c as sahadeva), very local in Assam whence I possess a fine series from 
the Ivhasia Hills. Doherty found it also in the Naga-Hills. $ on both sides darker leaf-green than specimens
