872 RHOPALOCERA MALAY AN A. 



This species is at present scarce in collections. I am indebted to the Rev. L. Biggs for 

 the possession of two Malaccan specimens, and these are the only examples from the Malay 

 Peninsula with which I am at present acquainted. 



2. Lotongus maculatus, n.xp. (Tab. XXXV., fig. 1.) 



Allied to L. calatlius, but differing from that species above by having the three large discal spots 

 replaced by four smaller ones and by the absence of the ochraceous apex to the posterior win^s ; win^s 

 beneath as in L. adathns, but the discal macular fascia to the anterior wings somewhat narrower, and 

 containing a central fuliginous spot. Body more or less concolorous with wiugs. 



Exp. wings, 47 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Malacca (Biggs -coll. Dist.). 



Tliis is another species discovered in Malacca Iiy the Rev. L. C. Biggs. 



Genus CHOASPES. 



Choaspes, Moore, Lep. Ceyl. vol. i. p. 158 (1881). 



Anterior wings subtriangular, costal margin arched at base, outer margin obliquely convex, inner 

 margin nearly straight. Costal nervure terminating on costal margin nearly opposite end of cell ; fourth 

 and filth subcostal nervules emitted somewhat close together near end of cell ; disco-cellular uervules 

 almost subequal in length, and obliquely directed inwardly ; base of second median nervule about twice as 

 far apart from that of the lower as from that of the upper median nervule. Posterior wings elongate, more 

 or less lobately produced at anal angle. Sul)costal nervules bifurcating at about one-third before end of 

 cell ; first and second median nervules with an apparently common origin at end of cell. Body very 

 robust ; palpi broad, flattened, and coarsely pilose, apical joint long, naked, and cylindrical ; antenna with 

 the apex long, curved, and slender ; femora pilose. 



This genus appears to be truly Oriental in distribution ; it is allied to Isiiiaw, but apart 

 from other structural characters the males have no "glandular patch of raised scales" on the 

 anterior wings, as is found in species of Isiiiene. 



1. Choaspes crawfurdi.* (Tab. XXXIV., fig. 26.) 



Isiiwnr {('hoii.yws) rrnw/nrdi, Distant, Anu. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. s. p. 247 (1882). 



Wuigs above obscure olivaceous-green, becoming tinged with fuscous towards outer margins. Posterior 

 wmgs with a large anal-angular bright yellowish patch, inwardly and broadly margined with black, apical 

 portion of abdominal margin also bright yellowish. Wings beneath paler and more metallic-green, the 

 nervures and nervules distinctly darker ; posterior wings with a very large bright yellowish anal-angular 

 patch which extends from about middle of abdominal margin to between the second and third median 

 nervules, and which possesses a long black irregular streak on inner side of submediau nervure, two 

 parallel black streaks between the submedian nervure and lower median nervule, and two similarly placed 

 black spots between the second and third median nervules on outer edge of the yellow patch. Body above 

 more or less concolorous with wiugs ; anal tuft yellow ; body beiiea,th and legs paler. 



Exp. wings, 52 to 58 millim. 



Hab.— Malay Peninsula; Peuang (Biggs— coll. Dist.) ; Province Wellesley (coll. Dist.). 



Named alter Juo. Crawfurd, author of the ' descriptive Dictionary of the Indian Islands and Adjacent Countries,' &c.
