482 L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin — Butterflies of Sumatra. [No. 3, 
494. Yasoda pitane, de Niceville. 
Y. pitane, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. viii, p. 50, n. 10, 
pi. L, fig. 5, male (1893). 
The female of this species still awaits discovery. Both species of 
Yasoda occur only at high elevations, Y. pita, Horsfield, in March, 
October and December at Soengei Batoe, Y. pitane only on the Central 
Plateau in March and August. Both are really aud actually rare 
butterflies. 
495. Araotes lapithis, Moore. 
Found from Selesseh to Bekantschan, and is moderately rare in 
forests from March to August. On the wing its habits are like those 
of M. moorei , Distant, and, as the white band on the underside of the 
forewing is not seen when resting with closed wings, is often taken 
for that common species, and thus escapes being captured. 
496. Sithon nedymond, Cramer. 
Grose Smith as nedymond and chitra. Hagen as nedymond and chitra. 
Staudinger. Kirby. Distant. S. nedymond is the male and S . chitra , 
Horsfield, the female of one and the same species. Occurs over the 
whole of our area, as we possess specimens from Stabat, Selesseh, 
Namoe Oekor, and from the Battak mountains, taken from March to 
August, and October to December. In primeval forest on low bushes, 
mostly resting on the underside of leaves. S. nedymond and S. chitra 
are always taken at the same time and in the same localities, though 
we have never succeeded in getting them paired. The species is far 
less rare than it was formerly believed to be. 
497. Deudorix epijarbas, Moore. 
Moderately rare in forests from Selesseh to Bekantschan, the 
female much rarer than the male. Males differ greatly in size, from 
1*2 to 1*7 inches. Flies from March to August and again in December. 
498. Zinaspa distorta, de Niceville. 
A rare butterfly here as elsewhere, Dr. Martin has only four 
specimens, three males and one female, the latter captured in January, 
the former from June to August. Occurs from Namoe Oekor to 
Soengei Batoe. 
499. Rapala deliochus, Hewitson. 
A very rare species. I caught a single male at Selesseh in October. 
Dr. Martin possesses a few of both sexes from Selesseh to Bekantschan
