160 L. de Nic6ville — Subgenus Stictoploca of the genus Euplcea. [Aug. 



upperside of the forewiDg, and the southerly (Burma and Malay Penin- 

 sula) form in which these spots are invariably absent, but in which 

 there is usually (not invariably) a prominent submarcinal and marginal 

 series of spots on the hind-wing which are not usually found in the north- 

 westerly form. 



I give below a brief description of the species as I think it should 

 be known, together with its synonymy in full. In the latter I include 

 the Stictoploea microsticta of Butler, described without locality, as it is a 

 form which appears to occur commonly in the Khasi Hills. Mr. Moore 

 says it is a broader-winged insect in both wings than E. hopei, but as 

 will be found stated below, even the shape of the wings in this species 

 is inconstant.
