beino- limited, in the forewings to a medial patch, extending- to 

 the base, and in the hinder to a triangular spot occupying the 

 basal areolet ;" and recently by Mr. Distant, thus : — " Female [of 

 Naratkum farquhari, Distant]. Resembling the male in hue, but 

 the anterior wings above with a broad costal and outer marginal dark 

 fuscous fascia ; this dark colour being broadest at the apex." Both 

 these authors have mistaken the sex of the specimens they described, 

 as the females of the green group of Arhopalas are always blue 

 or purple on the upperside.* 



A. baswiridis differs from all the species of the A. eumolpJius 

 group in having the peacock- green colour of the upperside in the 

 male restricted to the base of the wings, and the ground-colour 

 of the underside dark hair-brown without any gloss whatever. 



Described from two male examples from Johore in the Malay 

 Peninsula and a pair from Borneo, all kindly given to me by Mr. 

 ~W. Davison of the Raffles Museum, Singapore. It has also been 

 obtained by Mr. W. Doherty ("Butt. India, Burmah and Ceylon," 

 vol. iii, page 227, note), who first pointed out its distinctness, in the 

 Malay Peninsula and Borneo, and I have seen specimens of it at 

 Dresden in Dr. O. Staudinger's magnificent collection. Mr. 

 Doherty informs me that he has obtained it in Lower Tenasserim, 

 S.-VV. Sumatra, and probably the same species in E. Java. 



Genus SATSITMA, Murray.

 ccenilescet/s, Motschulsky, —LyccBiia ferrea, Butler, a Japanese and 

 Amurland butterfly. Two other species have recently been added to 

 the genus by Mr. J. II. Leech, vide " The Entomologist," vol. xxiii,
