1895.] L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin —Butterflies of Sumatra, 
"butterfly have recently been defined, P. belisarna, Crowley, from Tongliou, 
Central Banna, and P. chrysodonia , Staudinger, from Davao, S.-E. 
Mindanao, in the Philippine Isles. In Sumatra P. calydonia is found 
only in forest from Selesseli to Bekantschan and higher, and is rare as it 
always is everywhere. Dr. Martin took his first specimen, the first 
known from Sumatra, in October, 1888, near Kampong Roemah 
Kenangkong on a wounded tree where it was sucking up the juice. 
Siuce then he has obtained eight other specimens. As above mentioned 
(p. 420, n. 202), there may be found over a large area of forest only one 
pair of tliis strong-winged butterfly, which likes to keep to the higher 
trees, quite out of the reach of the net, but is fond of feeces and strong 
smelling things such as carrion, to which it is often attracted and caught. 
From Wallace’s account of the capture of the type specimen of the species 
at Ayer-panas in Malacca it is known how closely this insect keeps to one 
place, even to the same tree. It was on the fourth day, after having 
missed it the three previous days, and on the very same tree, that 
Dr. Friedl Martin caught his first specimen at Aer Kesoengei in Asahan. 
P. calydonia settles with the head downwards on tree trunks, and 
makes while feeding the same rotating movements of the hindwings as 
is done by many Lyccenidce. 
267. Prothoe angelica, Butler. 
Grose Smith as franckii. Hagen as frankii [sic], Godardt [sic]. 
Wallace as franckii. Distant. Semper. The true P. franckii , Godart, 
is confined to Java. Occurs in Sumatra in the same localities and 
elevations as P. calydonia , Hewitson, but is not so rare; settles also on 
tree trunks with its head downwards. 
Family LEMONIIDiE. 
Subfamily Libythjhile. 
268. Libythea myrrha, Godart. 
Hagen as myrrha , Godardt [sic]. Found in forest from Selesseh 
to Soengei Batoe, and is not very common. It is fond of settling with 
folded wings on wet sand on the banks of small streams. 
269. Libythea narina, Godart. 
The L. rohini of Marshall is a synonym of this species. Occurs in 
Sumatra near to the sea, as Dr. Martin obtained his first specimen near 
Kamborg-house between the Saentis and Mabar Estates in May, 1890. 
Found also at Selesseh, but does not extend higher than Namoe Oekor, 
and is very rare.
