The nymphalid butterfly Algia fasciata fasciata (Felder & Felder, 1860) has been known to occur from Myanmar (south of Karen Hills), Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Hainan, Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, Nias, Java, Philippines and the Andaman Islands with different geographical races or subspecies (Inayoshi 2012). From both Myanmar and the Andamans, it was reported as ‘not rare’ by Evans (1932) whereas Corbet et al. (1992) reported the species to be very common in the Malay peninsula. The other two species of the genus Algia are A. satyrina (Felder & Felder, 1867) and A. felderi (Kirsch, 1877), the former being reported from Sulawesi and Bangka islands and the latter from Papua New Guinea.
