 Zizera pygmea. 



Li/c<m<i Pyipiiea, Snellen, Tijd. Eiit. xix. p. 153, t. 7, f. 3 (1876). 

 Zizera Pynmea, Moore, Lep. Ceyl. vol. i. p. TJ, t. 35, f. 5, 5« (1881). 



Male. Wings above resembling Z. lysizone. Wings beneath pale greyish- 

 brown ; anterior wings with nine dark spots margined with grejdsh, one long and 

 linear at end of cell, the rest smaller, two subcostal, and six submarginal ; posterior 

 wings with a linear disco-cellular spot at end of cell, a series of ten spots in 

 FiG.iirK—Zurni pijgmea. circular discal series, two similar spots situate one in and one beneath cell, and two 

 small contiguous spots at base ; both wings with two marginal brownish linear 

 sublunulato fascise, the outermost broadest, and both margined with greyish, a blackish marginal line 

 and the fringe gre_yish-brown. 

 Exp. wings, 20 millim. 



H.\B. — Ceylon (Thwaites — coll. Dist.). — Malay Peninsula; Singapore (coll. G. F. Mathew). — Java; 

 B.-itavia (Snellen). 



This species was captured at Singapore by Mr. Gervase F. Mathew, R.N., and is, so 

 far as I am aware, the only record of it from the Peninsula.

Xht'ia.' until, Distant, Ann. &, Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. xvii. p. 581 (1886). 



Wings above violaceous-brown. Wings beneath greyish-ochraceous ; anterior wings with two 

 contiguous fuscous spots at centre of cell, a fuscous discocellular spot at end of cell, and five spots of the 

 same colour in a curved submarginal series ; posterior wings with two large black spots near costal 

 margin, the outermost with a small fuscous spot beneath it, a small fuscous spot in cell, and a disco- 

 cellular streak of the same colour at end of cell, and with the following blackish spots :■ — one beneath and 

 near base of cell, two near abdominal margin, one near anal angle, and four in a curved series beyond cell, 

 and with a double series of pale fuscous, linear, submarginal spots ; fringe of both wings fuscous. Body 

 and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, 20 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Malacca (coll. Staudinger). 



1 place this species provisionally in the genus Zizera, from which it differs by having 

 the first subcostal nervule completely anastomosed with the costal nervure. The typical 

 specimen, however, is not only unique, but also not my own property, thus preventing that 

 detailed structural examination which is necessary for exact generic determination, but which 

 is liable at the same time to injure the specimen.

 1. Nacaduba macropthalma {iDitca, p. 218). (Tab. XLIV., fig. 8 2.) 



I am now able to figure the female of this species, and at the same time to portray more 

 carefully the markings on the under surface of the anterior wings than they are represented by 

 the figure of the male specimen previously given. 



This female specimen is from Malacca, and is in the collection of Dr. Staudinger.
