Hist. Soc. Formosa 20: 37. Labels: “ Gangara / thyrsis / hainana Son./ DET. J. SONAN,” “ thyrsis ,” “ hainana/ Sonan,” “ Hainan 1929[?].” Sonan (1930a) specified “one mall[e]” when he described Gangara thyrsis hainana , thus it represents the holotype of the taxon. This holotype was found in TARI ( Fig. 31–33 ). Evans (1949) listed hainana as a synonym of Gangara thyrsis thyrsis (Fabricius, 1775) . Gangara thyrsis is widespread from the Himalayas across India and Sundaland to the Philippines and Sulawesi with weak geographical differentiation ( Evans 1949 ), and we follow Evans’ treatment. The name hainana Sonan, 1930 is regarded as a junior subjective synonym of Gangara thyrsis thyrsis (Fabricius, 1775) in the present study.
