According to Swinhoe there is a Java-specimen of this species in the 

 Brit. Mus. A specimen from W. Java with which I am acquainted was found 

 in the mountains of the province of Bantam by a native hunter send out by 

 Edward Jacobson, and is here reproduced. In the collection of Courvoisier 

 there is a specimen from the Gedeh mts. in W. Java. I also possess a specimen from 

 E. Java, the place of capture of which however cannot be more accurately stated. 



Fruhstorfer possesses specimens from the mountains in the neighbourhood 

 of Soukaboumi in W. Java, in which he thinks he can distinguish two forms, 

 Artaxatus and Orchalia. It seems rather strange that in the same district 

 there should be two different varieties. 



Genus ALLOTINUS Felder. 



Several species of this genus are characterized by a light streak on the 

 upperside of the primaries. In the female it is often very faint, but in the 

 male it is very distinct, which induces Fruhstorfer to call the streak a sexual 

 stripe, erroneously however, as it has nothing to do with the difference of sex 

 in itself, but is merely a relic of that white which formerly, as is still the 

 case in many species of the genus Miletus, was much more extensive, but 

 by the process of darkening in the genus Allottnus has become to a large 

 extent concealed, and that considerably more in the female than in the male.
