THE BUTTERFLIES OF SIAM.

By D. lVL NoEL-DAvm::;oN, F. n. E. s. AND J. J. M ACBETH.

Since his " Revised List of Siamese Butterflies" in th e J ournal of the Siam Society, Natural H istory Supplement vo l. VII, Godfrey published a " Supplementary List" in VIII as well as a list of " But­terflies from Peninsular Siam."

Since then Mr. Macbeth and myself have taken further new material, and in the Bri t ish Museum I have discovered a few speci­mens of old dates which are not included in Godfrey's lists.

A further Supplementary Li st would still more involve the

searcher in difficulties of records from this country, and so, to simplify

matters as much as possible, I have compounded all old and new records which, together with alterations in certain generic and

specific names in Godfrey's works due to the findings of recent research , are tabulated below.

In the case of new r ecords I have follow ed Godfrey's system,

with . the exception of reference under each species to Seitz' Macro­

lepidoptera of the World, which I have dropped as such r efer ence

merely r epeats what may be found in Seitz' index, if Seitz is to hand,

and is of little interest if it is unavailable.

The present list brings th e number of species, subspeci es and

forms to a total of 904. Seeing that further records are to be

expected from the future, this list · must not be considered in any

way exhaustive.

P APILIONIDAE.

Papilio clytia janus Ft•ub.

Mentioned by Fruhstorfer (Seitz' Macrolep. IX, p. 43) as from

Siam, but by Godfrey (Journ. Siam Soc. Nat. Hist. Suppl. VII,

p. 210) as not having been met with by him.

Me Chang Forest, Lampang, N. Siam; Paknampoh, C. Siam

(Davidson); Sriracha, S. E. Siam (lVIcwbeth).

Papilio clytia dissitnillinta E vans.

Sriracha, S. E. Siam (111acbeth).

Papilio pat•adoxa telcat•cltus He"·.

This must now be added to the list. It is clear that Godfrey

made a mistake in putting f. danisepc~ Feld. in his 1930 list,

as it was not until the following year that Macbeth obtained

the first specimen at Hupbon, Sriracha. P. parcdoxa telear­

chns Hew. is fairly common in different parts of the country,

and it was this that Godfrey had found and misnamed.

f. clanisepa has so far not yet been obtained in Siam outside

Sriracha, so that all places mentioned in 1930 li st must be

understood as referring to P. pc~rc~cloxa telearcht&s Hew.

Godfrey has t reated ganesc~ as synonymous with trit~mphator,

quoting Evans. The following record of Macbeth is of interest

in this regard : " Recent ly four specimens of Pc(pil·io polycto?' tr itLmphcdor , all cousttLnt in markings, have been obtained in

the Chiengsen district, N. Siam, which upon comparison with

a Papilio gc~nesc~ taken by me at Khao Sabap, Chantahoon,

S. E. Siam, in March 1933, makes it clear that they are dif­

ferent species and are not :;ynonymous as is :;tated by Evans

in his 'Identificatiou of India n Butterflies', and as is quoted

by Godfrey."

P apilio polyctor stockleyi 'ralbot , Entom. :March 1936.

A description of t his new ssp. will be of interest. The follow­ing is taken from the original :

Upperside : Forewing black, very lightly dusted with green

scales ; two cream-coloured pa tches 10 mm. in length , one on

each side of the submedian near the tornus. Hindwing black,

lightly dusted with blue and g reen scales ; a small blue patch

in interspace 6 extending into inter space 7 as far as the dis­

cocellular but not entering cell and 11ot reaching submarginal

lunules; a row of submarginal lunules, the fi rst t wo blue and

th e other five pmple li11ed with blue.

Underside : Does not differ from sign ·ificans except tha t t he

white marginal lunule:; are more strongly marked.

Appears to be nearest to s:;p. signijicans Fruh., but is charact ­

erised by the cream-coloured st ripes on the forewing and by

the very small blue patch on the hindwing.

The holotype is a o caught by Col. C. H. Stockley at Melamoung,

W. Siam, at a height of 2000 ft.

HESPERIIDAE.

Recent exhaustive researches in the British Musem by Bri·

gadier W. H. Evans have brought about certain changes in the

nomenclature of genera, species and subspecies of many Hespel'ids.

Tho::;e changes, together with notes of interest mostly taken from

'l'he Entomologist, vols. 67 & 68, and necessary corrigenda of Godfrey's

naming, are given below. Where alterations have been made, the

new, correct naming 'vill be followed by a number in brackets thus:

Hemming has found that Ismene, Swainson (1820), is pre­

occupied and so must be replaced by Bm·aro, Swinhoe (1893), and

that ISME NIINAE must be replaced by COELIADINAE as Coelia­

name in the sub-family.

C~rtain important changes in nom enclature have been found

necessary :

The nam e gancL ·was first introduced by Moore (1857) and the

lG.cality. given as : Java, . but .no description- was furnished. In 1865

Moore described ganct from Bengal, and the name has hitherto bee~

considered to apply to the large form occurring in Sikkim and

86 Journal Siam Society, Natural Histo1·y Suppl. Vol. XI.

figured in Lep. Ind. as ganc~. Moore's type is in the British Museum and is labelled" Bengal," and there are two eo-types from Java; they

agree with his description. From an examination of the type­

specimen in comparison with the large material available in the

British Museum it is clear that. a mistake has occurred in the locality,

which is certainly Java and not Sikkim. It is also clear that true

gcma is not the species referred to and figured in Lep. Ind. as such,

but is con-specific with obsc·nrus Mabille, (1876), and cdicc~ Moore,

(1877), of both of which the British Museum has the types, and gana

becomes t.he specific name. The oldest for the large Sikkim species

is pc~rm Fruh., (1910 Iris 24, p. 7.).

It is considered that the name atticus Fabricius (1793), must

be abandoned. Butler (1870) assigned a British Museum specimen

from Nepal to attict~s but it has been lost. Moore (1881) described as

atticus from Ceylon the species called l·itigiosa by Moschler (1878).

Aurivillius (1897) stated that the type of attictLS resembles mvi.

Moore (1865), but has a brown underside ( = ~dc~nus Plotz, 1885),

and it did not agree with Fabricius' description, wherein a subhyaline

hindwing is specified, such as occurs in no oriental species. Fruh­

storfer (1910), followed by Seitz (1926), rejected the name as the

description was unrecognisible, and they are considered to have been

right. Swinhoe (1912), followed by Evans (1926 & 1932), considered

c~tticus to be rcwi. The nomino-typical form is considered to be

jc~petus Cramer (1782), for the species dealt with as attict~s by

Swinhoe and Evans.

Sub-family Hesperiinae.

The 'l'ARAOTROOERA. Group.

This name is introduced for a group of genera m the sub­

family hitherto known as PAMPHILINAE, but which in future must

be known as HESPERIINAE, since, as pointed out by Lindsey (1925,

Ann. Ent. Soc. Am. p. 89), the type of Hesperia, Fab., is comma Linn.

']'he group is a compact one, consisting of species with non-hyaline

ochreous markings distinguished by the primitive form of th·e gen­

italia, the uncus being quite simple and the clasp undivided ; through­

out the Hesperiidae generally the clasp is more or less divided, one

part over-lapping the other. The group seems to be con:fined to the

Indo-Australian region and consists of the following eleven genera,

in O?'?nenes Plotz, another with a broad band as in zem.a from Sikkim,

but constantly smaller. An ex~.mination of the genitalia of a number

of specimens revealed two very distinct species, one (zenw) with the

end of the clasp ~patulate and the other (zola) tapering with a small

The GEGENES Group.

The distinguishing features of this group are as follows :

(1) The stout erect palpal second segment, flattened and

appressed to the face with the third segment in continuation, also

erect.

(2) 1'he stout antennal club with the abrupt apiculus formed

from well beyond the middle at right angles, short, finely pointed and

turned up at the tip.

No. 2, 1938. DAVIDSON & lVIACBETH: The Butte?jlies of S iam. 91

(3) The cornpara,tively long forewing cell, which is more or

less acutely produced at the upper end." Vein 2 arises nearer to the

lower end of the cell than to the base. There is usually a >vell­

marked diagonal veinlet from the origin of vein 3 towards the middle

of the cell.

(4) The upturned lower end of the hindwing cell, and the

origin of vein 7 is nearer to the base than to the origin of vein 2.

(5) The compound clasp of the genitalia.

The species belonging to the group have hitherto been assign­

ed to the genera Gegenes, Bcwris (including Chapra, Pa?'?W?'a, Poly­

t?·emis) and !ten. But on the diagnosis given above p?·usias Feld,

and its allies (kuehni Plotz and hm·c1.~les Mabille), which are usually

placed in Cephrenes, must be transferred to the Gegenes group. The

group is divisible into two sub-groups based on the antennae :

A. Ba01·is sub-group: Antennae equal to half eosta; club

gradually formed.

B. Gegenes sub-group : Antennae less than hal£ costa; club

ovoid.

Of th e first sub-group the following are from Siam :

a. Iton, distinguished by the peculiar form of uncus, ending

in two very long widely separated points, and the facies.

b. Baoris ( = Caltoris, Swinhoe, and Milena, Evans).

c. PolytremiR, distinguished by the broad-ended uncus,

usually provided with side horns, and the prominent hindwing spots.

To the second sub-group belong :

a. Pelopidas, Walker, 1870, (genotype midea Walker, a

synonym of thrax Hubner.) an older name for Chapra, Moore (1881).

Distinguished by the undivided uncus and the triangular head of

larvae.

b. Parnara ·with an undivided uncus and an aberrant pupa.

(see Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hiat. Soc. 11 ; 45, 54 & 79).

Genus Baoris, Moore.

This genus as restricted above comprises the following sub­groups:

92 Journal Sia1n Society, Natural Histo1·y Suppl. Vol. XI.

(1) Oceia sub-group. The uncus seen from the side is broad­

©nded. Males have a recumbent hair-tuft on the hindwing above,

overlapping a scent-patch in the cell and correlated with a polished

grey dorsal area on the forewing below containing an oval brand.

(2) Cahira sub-group ( = Caltoris Swinhoe; genotype kumara, lVIoore; and Milena Evans; genotype plebeiu de Nic.). Differs only

in lacking the secondary sexual characters of the previous sub-group.

brunnea, Snellen, has a discal stigma on the for·ewing above and

plebeia de Nic, has an uptumecl dorsal brush on the forewing below.

C. Philippina suu-group. Uncus ending in 11 baud from which

there emerge two widely separated sharp points.

D. Conjuncta sub-group : uncus slender, without horns at the

back Those in the Oceia sub-group with which we are interested

(No. 689). "

contigun (iliab.).

Genus P elopidas, Walker.

This genus fall s into two parts :

A. Mathias part, in which the males have a discal stigma on

the forewing above.

B. Cinnara part, in which the males have no stigma.

A. contains th e following specieR, ,-.;rhich are not easy to

diRtinguish without an examination of th e genitalia. In the ventral

aRpect of th e uncus the tips a re close together in P. ?nathicts and

wide apart in P. a,gna.

Pelopitlal!i 111athias Jnat.hial!l (Fab.). (No. 683).

There are generally two well -marked seasonal forms, that of

the dry season being ssp. ?nathias ( = conscmg~~inis Plotz, and jlexili s Swinhoe), and that of the wet-season being ssp. jt~lianus Latreille

( = ellc~ and nondoc~ Plotz).

Pelo(litlal!i agna ngna ltloo••e.

Prlopidas ayna Moore, 1865, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., p. 791.

This iR very like th e wet-season fo rm of ?ncdkias; it is larger,

forewing 18 mm. , more pointed ; discal spot s on forewing narrow and

oblique; hind wing above usually unmarked ; hindwing below overlaid

ochreous green scales, usually only with spot s in spaces 2, 3 & 6. It

has synonyms balc~rama Plotz, and niasicc~ Fruh.

Dist?·ibtdion: Ceylon ; India; Burma; Siam; China ; Hong­

Kong; Formsa; Malaya ; Philippines ; Celebes.

In the Phili'[!pinc~ sub-group th ere are no species from Siam.

In the Conju ncta sub-group are:

Genus Pctrnara, l\f.oore.

Parna•·a bada bada (ilioo1•e ). (No. 690).

bacla is now a species, form ed upon Evans examination of the

genitalia. The inner face of the clasp of gtdtatus is nearly straight,

whilst that of baclcL is highly convex.

bctcla Yery closely resembles guttatus ctpostatct; the spots on

th e hindwing below are small, irregular and well separted frmn one

another, and there is usually a spot in space 6 and in the cell .

Synonyms are: quinigerct Moore, ha·inamts Moore, philino

Moschler, intermeclia, clctenclali and vaiktt Plotz, Philotas de Niceville

(an aberration). The typical from is well figured in Lep. Incl.

Distribution: Ceylon; India; S. China; Japan; Burma;

Siam; Malaya; The Phillipines and Celebes.

Godfrey's No. 690, Bcwris gtuttatus bacla (Moore), is consider­

ed unl.ikely to be a guttcttus ssp. on account of locality, which points

to sp. bacla, to which it is accorded.
