Hesperid^from the Indo-Malayan and African Regions, 15 



S. India, quite as large, the males being similar in size to 

 those of typical ^m/Zi'^o. The Island forms are not identical 

 with suhfasciatits, Moore, from India; they have all got an 

 obscure discal row of pale spots on the hind-wings below, 

 and none of them that I have examined have the dark 

 fascia of suhfasciatus. Mabille's type came from Java,

I have this from Sourabaya, Java; it is very much paler 

 both above and below and more orange-red than aria, 

 Moore, otherwise it is very like it.

 type of archias ; Snellen's and Plotz's figures are identical. 

 I have not been able to find any reference for tuo-ica.
