Notes

The distribution map of Thauria aliris and lathy
Thauria distribution


The population from Laos which figured in Osada, Uémura & Uehara,1999 have broader white band on the UpF than ssp.gabrieli and band is not diffuse as ssp.siamensis. It is quite similar to ssp.amplifascia from Myanmar. I treat it as ssp.amplifascia provisionally, although there is a geographic problem between Myanmar and Laos populations.
The sympatricity of both Thauria aliris and Thauria lathy has not been confirmed. Further distributional research is needed.
