450 RHOPALOCERA MALAYAN A. 



Genus SIMISKINx\ [to follow Abisara). 



Siminkind, Distant, ' Entomologifst,' vol. xis. p. 12 (1880). 



This genus differs from Abisani iu having the lower disco-cellular nervule of the posterior wings much 

 longer than the upper, thus resembling Stihoges ; but from that genus it is easily distinguished by the 

 subcostal nervules of the posterior wings, which bifurcate before the upper end of cell. In shape of wings 

 and general superficial features Siiniskhia resembles Abisuni. 



1. Simiskina fulgens. (Tab. XLIL, iiy. 3.) 



SiiiiiskiiM fuh/cns, Distant, ' Entomologist,' vol. six. p. 12 (1886). 



Wings above bright ochraceous ; anterior wings with the apex, and outer and inner margins, broadly 

 dark ))rownish, with a narrow linear disco-cellular spot of the same colour ; posterior wings with the 

 cellular area, the whole area between cell, upper median nervule, and abdominal margin, and a broad outer 

 macular margin, dark brownish. Wings beneath pale ochraceous ; both wings with linear pale castaneous 

 disco-cellular spots, a much-waved castaneous fascia crossing the wings beyond cells, recurved, and 

 terminating on abdominal margin of posterior wings; two fainter outer discal fascite, the outermost of 

 which is blackened on posterior wings ; outer margin pale castaneous on posterior wings, preceded by two 

 dark linear fasciae. Body above fuscous ; beneath more or less concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, 36 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Penang (Goodrich — coll. Dist.) ; Malacca (coll. Staud.).

 Genus POKITIA {aiitea, p. 197). 



In my diagnosis of this genus I stated that "according to my view there are three" 

 subcostal nervules to the anterior wings. Mr. Moore has since pointed out to me that there 

 are four, the first being very short and minute. 



8. Poritia pharyge. (Tab. XLI., fig. 8.) 



I'oritia riianjin', Hewitson, Trans. Eut. See. 1874, p. 345; 111. Diuru. Lap., Lye, p. 215, t. 88, f. 8, 9 (1878). 



Wings above blackish, with the following bluish-green markings ; anterior wings with a longitudinal 

 fascia along the median nervure, a curved fascia on base of inner margin, three subapical spots and a 

 marginal series of six spots ; posterior wings with a longitudinal fascia along the submedian nervure, two 

 discal and three marginal spots ; costal area of posterior wings brownish. Wings beneath brownish ; 

 anterior wings with a dark linear disco-cellular spot, followed by two linear fasciae crossing wing which 

 are more or less margined with greyish ; posterior wings with a dark linear disco-cellular spot, two discal 

 narrow waved dark fasciae more or less margined with greyish, a similarly coloured and margined waved 

 fascia extending from the upper median nervule to anal angle, and a marginal narrow bluish and black 

 fascia at the same area. 



Exp. wings, 28 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Perak (Kiinstl. — coll. Ribbe).— Borneo (coll. Hewits.). 



Genus DERAMAS. 



Dennnas, Distant, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. xvii. p. 252 (1886). 



This genus is closely allied to Poritia, but differs by possessing fvc subcostal nervules in the anterior 

 wings ; of these the first is very short, emitted at about one-third before the end of cell, and joins the
