with a large disoiil dcul white putch phicod woll outside the 

 discoidal cell, its inner and outer edges irregular, especially the latter, 

 commencing just i)ostorior to the coital nervure and ending on the sub- 

 median fold. Antennoi, head,pdi>/j hodij, and %.•>• dark brown. Female, 

 both lo'mijs broader than in the male. Upperside, forewing with the 

 translucent spots similar but larger; four instead of two or three 

 subapical dots, the two posterior ones parallel with the outer margin ; 

 an additional oval small opaque pale yellow spot placed anteriorly 

 aoain.st the middle of the submedian nervure. Hindw'mg with the base 

 and middle of the wing clothed with long pale ochreous setjfi between 

 the veins. Underside, both lo'mgs much as in the male. 



Differs from " Ilesperia" mijthcca, He-.vitson, the female [ ? ] of which 

 is figured by Distant in Khop. Malay., p. 377, n. 1, pi. xxxv, fig. 7, 

 female (1886), from Malacca, but is found also in Perak and N.-E. 

 Sumatra, in having the translucent spots of the forewing white instead of 

 pale yellow (though Howitson describes them as white) and more 

 numerous, with an additional white streak in the sul)median interspace 

 on the underside of that wing ; the discal white patch on the underside 

 of the hindwing is also much smaller and with more irregular edges. 

 From the shape of the wings I should judge the type specimen 

 to have been a male, but Mr. Distant says it is a female. Hewitson 

 when describing it does not give the sex of the same specimen which 

 constitutes the type of the species and genus Zea, which latter Messrs. 

 Elwes and Edwards sink under Lotongus. 



Described from three males and one female received from the 

 capturer, the late Herr C. Ribbe, who calls it " Pamplula taprobana,''^ 

 a species unknown to me.
