43. *Eiipl(ea ( Narmada) consimilis, Felder. 
Moore. Originally described from Java. Unknown to ns from 
Sumatra. 
44. Euplcea ( Narmada ) martjnii, de Niceville. 
E. ( Narmada ) martinii, cle Nieeville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. viii, 
p. 38, n. 2, pi. K, figs. 3, male ; 4, female (1893). 
Not uncommon in the higher mountains and on the Central Plateau, 
but never below 3,000 feet elevation. In this species both sexes were 
almost always brought in equal numbers. It is almost unrivalled in 
the male in the rich velvety deep black coloration of its upperside. 
45. Euplcea ( Stictoploea ) harrisii, Felder. 
Grose Smith as tyrianthina. Hagen as thyriantina [sic]. Moore as 
tyriantJiina. As I can exactly match Sumatran specimens of E. tyrian¬ 
thina, Moore, with Khasi Hill examples of E. harrisii, Felder, I record 
the species under the latter name, as it is much the older. E. harrisii 
is richly blue-glossed, in spite of Mr. Moore having stated the contrary 
in Lepicloptera Indica, vol. i, p. 138 (1891). In Sumatra it is, as this 
species goes, fairly constant, though the spots on both wings as usual 
shew considerable variation both as to size and number. I possess some 
which coincide precisely, spot for spot, and in the extent of the blue 
coloration, with Mr. Moore’s figure of Stictoploea croivleyi (l.c., pi. lii, 
fig. 2, male). For notes on the variability and synonomy of E. harrisii , 
see de Nieeville, Proceedings Asiatic Society Bengal, 1892, n. 158. In 
Sumatra it is found in the alluvial plain and also as high as Bekantschan 
and Kepras in the hills. The female is as usual very rare. Dr. Martin 
caught his first male specimen under the roof of a wooden bridge over 
the Bindjei river near Namoe Oekor.
