1895.] L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin— Butterflies of Sumatra. 
in both Felder’s and Distant’s figures ; the two posteriormost spots 
in the submedian interspace somewhat small, placed one above the 
other; between this macular whitish band and the outer margin is a 
diffused broad pale blue fascia. I find, however, in my large series of 
females of this group, that these apparently good and distinct characters 
are not constant, and that it is well nigh impossible to differentiate this 
form satisfactorily. Mr. Distant’s sexing of the species is probably 
purely guess work, and cannot be accepted finally without some good 
proof, such as taking the two sexes paired or breeding both from the egg. 
It is possible that E. macnairi , Distant, is a distinct species and is the 
same as E. andersonii, Moore, in which case Distant’s name has a year’s 
priority. Dr. Martin notes that E. asoJca is the rarest species of the 
group occurring in our area, and that it is found at higher elevations 
than the others, not lower than Bekantschan. 
210. Euthalia ( Tanaecia) vikrama, Felder. 
Felder. Grose Smith as pulasara. Butler as pulasara . Hagen as 
pulasara y var. ? Kirby. Distant. Originally described from Sumatra. 
This is a local race of E. ( Tanaecia) pulasara , Moore, from the Malay 
Peninsula, but is sufficiently different to be retained as a distinct 
species. Hot rare in the plains of Sumatra. 
211. *Eothalia ( Tanaecia) pelea, Fabricius. 
Snellen. Grose Smith as palguna. As far as I am aware, this 
species is confined to Java, from whence I possess specimens of both 
sexes. Mr. Moore has figured the male as “ Adolias” palguua, Moore, 
which is a synonym of E. pelea. 
212. *Euthalia {Tanaecia) supercilia, Butler. 
Grose Smith. Originally described from Penang. Mr. Butler has 
figured a male. It is entirely unknown to us. 
213. Euthalia ( Tanaecia ) phintia, Weymer. 
Tanaecia phuitia, Weymer, Stet. Ent. Zeit., vol. xlviii, p. 7, n. 5, pi. i, fig. 6, 
male (1887). 
Weymer. Grose Smith as aruna. Originally described from 
Sumatra. This species is a local race of E. ( Tanaecia) aruna , Felder = 
“ Adolias ” pardalis , Yollenhoven, from the Malay Peninsula and Java, 
but is easily separable from that species. Rather rare, and only occurs 
at higher elevations and south of Namoe Oekor, at Bekantschan and 
Soengei Batoe.
