fletei-mined as G. jarana, coming from the original collection of de 

 Bormans. But the males, Avhicli appear to be of the same species, do not 

 thoroughly agree with the description of the male of G. javmia ; in fact, 

 in the very generic characters, they approach more to Aiiistjlahi^i ; the 

 females might easily be mistaken for those of to A. annulipcs, but the 

 males before, which I refer here with doubt, appear to be distinct from 

 A. an 1)11 Upas. The latter is, however, so variable a species, even in its 

 most essential character, that it is quite possible that these specimens 

 are merely forms or subspecies of it.
