Dodona (henrici) anu Corbet, 1937 [Invalid]
SUMMARY
From Corbet, 1937 page 104
Dodona henriei anu subsp. n.
Male. Upperside. Identical with the subspecies fruhstorferi Rober from Java.
Underside. Similar to fruhstorferi (Seitz, Crossschmett. Erde, 9, pl. 139 d (1)) but, on the fore-wing, the discal band is broader, particularly in the tornal area, and, on the hind-wing, the broad submarginal band which continues the fore-wing discal band is coloured orange in space 4 and has two prominent black spots on its distal edge.
Wing expanse 39 mm.
Holotype. MALAY PENINSULA : Selangor, BuEt Kutu, 3485 feet, 15th March, 1931 (A. S. Corbet).
This butterfly is figured in Corbet and Pendlebury, 1934, ButteTflies Malay Penins., pl. Xiii, fig. 166 male, fig. 167 female und. It is curious that the Malayan race of this strictly montane species should resemble more closely the Javanese subspecies than nicevillei Dohrn from Sumatra or pryeri Mre. from Borneo. It is quite doubtful if deodata Hew., from Burma, with subspecies longicaudata Nic. (Assam) and lecerji Fruh. (Annam), is conspecific with henrici Holland, from Hainan, which extends from Burma (angela Gr. Sm. and binghami Mre.) to Malaysia and the Philippines.
Now considered D. deodata anu by Corbet & Pendlebury (1956) page 253.
