A single male taken by Doherty in the Karen Hills at 2000 feet. It also occurs near Bemardmyo in Upper Burmah. THAUMANTIS DIORES. T. diores, Doubl. Ann. Nat. Hist. xvi. p. 234 (1845) ; Butt.

Mai. p. 79, t. viii.3 6- Seems to be not rare at the foot of the Karen Hills, whence Doherty took several specimens in fresh condition. All these agree with the specimens taken by Major Bingham in Tenasserim, and differ slightlv from the type from Malacca in the British Museum, which has the band of the fore wing rather shorter and narrower than my specimens. STICTOPHTHALMA LOUISA. Thaumantis louisa, Wood-Mason, J. A. S. B. xlvii. pt. ii. p. 175 (1878). Stictophthalma louisa, Butt. Ind. i. p. 311. This species, which was hitherto only known in Europe from the few specimens taken in the Thoungyeen Valley by Major Bingham, seems to be very numerous at the foot of the Karen Hills, where Doherty took many males, but only two or three females, in March and April. They do not vary appreciably, and in colour are just halfway between S. camadeva and S. hoivqua, but perfectly distinct from both. |
