Tung A.V.W.Y., . Some taxonomic and distributional notes on Acraea violae (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Acraeinae)in Malaysia. pp. 77-81. ISSN 0025-1291

Abstract

The butter fly Acraea violae (Fabricius) is relatively a recent arrival in Peninsular Malaysia. Previous notes on the occurence of this species in Perlis and Bukit Mertajam Penang were brief and not at all descriptive. In view that A. violae is the sole representative of the subfamily Acraeinae (under the family Nymphalidae) in the Malay Peninsula the author felt that it would be noteworthy to provide a more detailed description of this Acraeinid species and the subfamily Acraeinae.
