1895.] L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin —Butterflies of Stimatra. 485 
Occurs not only in forest, but also in gardens and near houses. It 
often flies very late in the afternoon, Dr. Martin has taken it between 
5 and 6 p. m. 
513. Rapala XENOPHON, Fabricius. 
Distant. Much rarer than B. jarbas, Fabricius, and occurs at a 
higher elevation from Selesseh to Bekantschan. We have specimens 
taken in March, July, and December only. 
514. Rapala domitia, Hewitson. 
Grose Smith. Dr. Martin obtained a single female in November at 
Kepras. It is a most aberrantly-marked and coloured species. 
515. Bindahara phocides, Fabricius. 
Very rare in Sumatra, Dr. Martin in thirteen years having obtained 
only three males and one female in February, May, and July. Only 
from higher elevations in the Battak mountains. Distant’s figure of 
the species (Rhop. Malay., pi. xx, fig. 25, female ) is an exceptionally 
bad one. The males vary greatly in size, the smallest measuring F35, 
the largest 1'75 inches; Dr. Martin’s only female taken in February 
measures 1*6 inches. 
516. Bindahara sugriva, Horsfield. 
One male only, taken in the Battak mountains in July. It is on 
the underside of both wings very similar to the same sex of B. phocides , 
Fabricius, but it has on the upperside of the hindwing a blue band 
extending along the margin from the apex to the third median 
nervule, and increasing in breadth posteriorly. The occurrence of this 
species recorded from South India, Ceylon and Java, together with 
B. phocides, Fabricius, (which has no blue band in 1 the male), recorded 
from Sikhim, Bhutan, Assam, Burma, the Andaman Isles, the Malay 
Peninsula, and Nias, in North-Eastern Sumatra is a very interesting 
fact. Mr. W. H. Miskin records B. sugriva from Cape York in North 
Australia, the Solomon Islands, and the Aru Islands, but in my opinion 
these specimens are probably not typical, but represent distinct local 
races. 
517. *Sinthusa nasaka, Horsfield. 
Grose Smith. Originally described from Java, so that it is quite 
possible it occurs also in Sumatra though we have not met with it, 
especially as it is found again in Northern India.
