Notes

The 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.
