1895.] L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin— Butterflies of Sumatra. 547 
entirely yellow. Female. Upperstde, both wings with the ground-colour 
and markings duller, the latter narrower, than in the male. Forewing 
with no golden-coloured irrorations at the base of the wing. Under¬ 
side, both wings duller coloured throughout than iu the male, the discal 
patch on the hindwing distinctly whitish. 
Nearest to “ Pamphila ” gola, Moore, described and figured from 
Port Blair in the South Andaman Isles. A synonym of this species 
is Padraona goloides , Moore, described and figured from Ceylon. I have 
carefully compared specimens of these two species from the above- 
named islands, and find that the differences relied on by Mr. Moore to 
separate them are absolutely inconstant. The following are recorded 
localities for P. gola :—Port Blair, South Andamans; Mergui ; Tliaing, 
King Island (Mergui Archipelago) (Moore); Silcuri (Cachar) ( Wood- 
Mason and de Niceville) ; Sumba ; Sambawa ( Doherty ) ; Buxa (Bhutan) 
(Flwes) ; Kiukiang (Central China) {Leech); Sikhim (de Niceville) ; 
Nilgiri District {Hampson); and I possess specimens from the following 
hitherto unrecorded localities ;— Calcutta ; Orissa ; Travancore ; Perak 
(Malay Peninsula) ; N.-E. Sumatra ; Nias ; Java ; S.-E. Borneo ; and 
Celebes. P. goloides has been recorded from Ceylon by Moore, and from 
Singapore and Java by Distant. “ Pamphila ” naranata , Moore, is 
a MS. name for P. goloides in Horsfield and Moore’s Cat. Lep. Mus. 
E. I. C., vol. i, p. 251, n. 565 (1857), and was recorded from Java. 
I have been informed by Mr. G. F. Hampson that Pamphila augustula , 
Herrich-Schaffer, from Cape York (Northern Australia) and the 
Fiji Islands is another synonym. Dr. Staudinger also records a 
“ Pamphila ” goloides , Moore, var. ahar , Mabille, from Palawan (Iris, 
vol. ii, p. 146 (1889), which may be another synonym. P.paragola differs 
from P. gola on the upperside of the hindwing in having the discal patch 
broader in the middle thereby causing it to be oval instead of lengthened 
or band-like in shape ; this feature is especially marked on the under¬ 
side. The golden irroration of the underside almost throughout is pecu¬ 
liar to P. paragola. There are other smaller differences which are very 
obvious when specimens of the two species are compared side by side, but 
are difficult to express in words. I hope to figure P. paragola shortly. 
Described from two males and one female in my collection. 
716. Padraona palmarum, Moore. 
Very rare, but every year Dr. Martin caught a few specimens 
round his house at Bindjei in the plains in July. 
717. Halpe homolea, Hewitson. 
Originally described from Singapore. Occurs in Sumatra some¬ 
what rarely on the outer hills from May to August.
