400 iniol'ALOCEBA MALAYANA. 



Mr. de Nicevillo states, from oliservations made m Sikkim, that this species " always 

 settles with expanded wini;s." '

Tlie tigure here oiveii is taken from a Malaccan specimen in the British Museum, and the 

 followino- is Mr. Butler's orioinal description : — 



" Similar to J'. (Ian. ' but not tawnv-tintfcl, the three spots in the centre of primaries united, and 

 hyaliuc-white." 



Exp. wings, c? l'v- 5 , "1 inch S lines." 



Hae. — Malay Peninsula: Malacca (Pinwill — Brit. Mus.). — Java (Horsf. & Moore). 



This species is much more closely allied to /'. aliisos, and appears remote in appearance 

 from C. (laii. 



3. Plesioneura pinwilli. (Tab. XXXV., tig. 29 J .) 



Plesidneura Pinwilli, Butler, Trans. Linn. See. ser. 2, Zool. vol. i. p. 556, n. 5, t. Ixviii. f. 4 (1877). 

 As with the last species, Mr. Butler's ligure and deseri))tion are reproduced :-- 



" i'riiuarics hhick, with a bluish shot ; a broad oblique shining pale-yellow subhyaline patch, 

 separated by the median nervure and its second and third branches into three spots: two small spots 

 of the same colour, placed obliquely below it, on the interno-median intersjiace ; secondaries bright 

 orange, the base and the apical portion of external border ehocolate-ljrown : remainder of outer l)order, 

 a rounded spot at end of cell, a second near anal angle, and live, submarginal, touching the outer border, 

 black : head and thorax greenish grey, vertex of head edged with sordid white ; abdomen orange banded 

 with black. Primaries lielow as above, excepting that there is a bifid whitish spot above the end of the 

 cell, a whitish spot at base of interno-median area, and that the inner margin is brown ; secondaries 

 bright orange ; the costal and outer borders irregularly purplish lilack ; fringe brownish ; a subcostal dash, 

 a rounded spot at the end of the cell, and a reniform spot near the anal angle black ; body below and legs 

 bright ochreous, palpi pale ochreous ; neck below white; antenna black above, testaceous below." 



Exp. wings, " 2 inches 2 lines." 



H.\E. — Malay Peninsula: Malacca (Pinwill — Brit. ]\[ns.). 



This is a rare species, and is only known to the writer by the single specimen captured 

 by Capt. Pinwill, and now contained in the British Museum. 



Genus ASTICTOPTEKUS. 



Astictaptents, Fekler, Wieu. Ent. Mou. iv. p. 401 (ISOO); iloore, Lep. Ceyl. vol. i. p. 162 (1881). 



This genus differs from Phuiomiini liy having the base of the second median ner\ule of the 

 anterior wings al)out twice as far aiuirt from that of the lower as from that of the upper median 

 nervule ; the first subcostal nervule of the anterior wings is emitted more nearly opposite the base of 

 the lower than of the second median nervule.
