Hab. Perak (Kiinstler). 



This species belongs to the section of the genus which has 

 been generically separated by Mr. Moore under the name of 

 Huphina; it is allied to the Javan A.nama, Moore, and is contained 

 in the fine collection of Perak butterflies belonging to Dr. 

 Anderson, which has been placed in my hands for determination. 

 A. andersoni will be figured in ' Rhopalocera Malayana.'

 over 1200 feet above the sea-level, on the summit of a mountain, 

 the sides of which are thickly wooded, with occasional pieces of 

 boggy ground on the slope, which doubtless accounted for the 

 occurrence of this marsh-living species. — Martin J.Harding; 

 Old Bank, Shrewsbury, April 14, 1885. 



Late occurrence of Macroglossa stellatarum. (Entom. 

 xvii. 273). — I remember noticing an example of this species flying 

 about briskly on a winter's day, — it would be in December or 

 January, — and other entomologists have seen it abroad during mild 

 weather in the period of its hybernation. Like some of our 

 butterflies of similar habit, it is occasionally tempted out by a 

 gleam of sunshine. The spots it chooses for its hybei-nation do
