 HILLER COLLECTION FROM SUMATRA.

 the elevation of 500 feet; and at Batu Sangkar, Tanah Datar, in 

 the forest region of Padang, between 1,500 and 3,000 feet. In

 brown, so dark as to render all markings obscure. The ventral 

 surface and under side of the wing membranes have a purplish 

 tinge, with black spots on the latter which tend to run together 

 transversely. In all details of scutellation they correspond to 

 undoubted specimens of the present species.
