Taxon paulina was described as a subspecies of Neocheritra amrita by Riley,1932. However, Kimura et al.,2014 considered it a subspecies of Jacoona anasuja based on the original description and illustrations, and I agree with this treatment. I have never seen any examples from this area, therefore I provisionally regard it as a good subspecies. Further taxonomic study is needed.
