i° 7 Shelford records a male whiteheadi and a female adonia “caught 
together, close to Kuching.” The only female now in the Sarawak Museum 
is labelled “Tabuan (near Kuching), October, 1895.” There is no male 
from this locality in the Museum now, and it should be noted that the 
Tabuan female was collected before Mr. Shelford’s arrival in the country. 
Now the essential difference between whiteheadi and adonia lies in the 
palpi and fore legs, which are whitish in the former, bright red in the latter. 
Shelford’s female whiteheadi has both unmistakably red. On these grounds 
I reject his arrangement and adopt that of Fruhstorfer. The synonymy 
reads as follows :— 
Euthalia lubentina ivhiteheadi Fruhst. = Euthalia adonia whiteheadi Shelfd. 
E. adonia montana Fruhst. = E. lubentina montana Shelfd. 
108 Fruhstorfer places this species as another subspecies of lubentina. 
But the female is so different from lubentina whiteheadi that I cannot 
accept this ; moreover, the males from Matang, which Fruhstorfer suggests 
are adeona , do not differ in the least from the Kinabalu males of whiteheadi , 
so I prefer to regard adeona as a distinct species as yet only known from a 
mateless female. 
109 The forms from the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo, were 
formerly united under compta by Fruhstorfer, who, however, now separates 
them as three distinct races. That from the Malay Peninsula may be 
distinguished by the presence of three red spots on the hind wing beneath 
( = compta) \ those from Sumatra and Borneo have but two; the slight 
differences, inter se, appear to be inconstant and insufficient to warrant 
further separation, so I place the last two under the Sumatran name 
(mahonia), with the Bornean magama Fruhst. as a synonym. 
In a Sarawak series before me the expanse of wings ranges from 87 mm. 
(the smallest male) to 115 mm. (the largest female). The coloration is 
variable beneath; similarly the lunulate hind marginal border of the hind 
wing may be well marked or obsolescent.
