Show 1891] THE NAGA AND KAREN HILLS AND PERAK. 281 fore wing quite or almost obsolete ; whilst 1 from Bhutan (named sahadeva by Col. Swinhoe), 3 from Cachar, 1 from Khasia, 1 from Burmah, 2 from Tenasserim, and 4 from the Karen Hills have the whitish band more or less well marked, and the apical patches distinct and well defined. Two species might very well be made ©f the female sex, but as both forms are found in the central part of its range I should rather consider it as a case of sexual dimorphism. EUTHALIA JAHNU. Adolias jahnu, Moore, Cat. E. I. C. p. 192 2 5 Butt. Ind. ii. p. 211. Adolias sananda, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1859, p. 76, t. vii. 3 6 • One male and three females from the Naga and Karen Hills; the latter are rather smaller and paler than those from Sikkim and Khasia. EUTHALIA KESAVA, var. DISCISPILOTA. Adolias discispilota, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 831, t. Iii. 2 ; Butt. Ind. ii. p. 213. Though the form found in the Karen Hills and Tenasserim is smaller and slightly different in the markings from kesava of Sikkim and the Khasias, I hardly think it can be treated as a distinct species ; the male in this case is more different from kesava than the female, which is almost identical. ATHYMA NEFTE, var. NIVIFERA. A. nivifera, Butl. Trans. Linn. Soc, 2nd ser. Zool. i. p. 540, t. 4(1879). A. nefte, var. nivifera, Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 163, t. xvi. 6, 7. A single male from Perak has the white band above suffused and edged with blue. I follow Distant in treating it as a variety of nefte, not having the material which would allow me to judge for myself. ATHYMA KRESNA. A. kresna, Moore, P. Z. S. 1858, p. 12, t. 1. 4 6 • A male from Perak agrees with one in m y collection from Sumatra. ATHYMA SULPITIA. Pap. sulpitia, Cram. iii. t. ccxiv. E, F. A. sulpitia, Butt. Ind. ii. p. 174. A specimen from Bhamo, collected by Major Adamson, agrees with Chinese examples from Ningpo and the valley of the Yang-tse-kiang. ATHYMA SELENOPHORA. Limenitis selenophora, Koll. Hiigel's Kash. iv. p. 426. A. selenophora, Butt. Ind. ii. p. 176. Two pairs from the Karen Hills, of which the females are much smaller than any of m y Indian specimens. |
