Acharax cf. normalis (Howse, 1848) n. comb.

Remarks. No figure accompanied Howse’s (1848)

description; his subsequent (1857a) figure is rudimentary and is, as he personally remarked, inaccurate; holotype lost. Useful if Logan’s (1967, pl.10,

figs. 13, 14) material is given priority. If so, Solemya excisa de Koninck of Hind (1900, in part, pl.

50, figs. 11, 14, 15) is a possible synonym.
