14 Colonel C. Swinhoe's Descriptions of New Species of 



ISM A, Distant, Rhop. Mai., p. 386 (1886), type ohscura, 

 Distant. 



LoPHOiDES, Watson, P. Z. S., 1893, p. Si, type iapis, de 

 Nicev. 



ISMA OBSCURA. 



Isma ohscura, Distant, 1. c, pi. xxxv, f, 19. 

 Zophoides ohscura, Elwes and Edwards, Trans. Zool. Soc, 

 xiv (4), p. 196 (1897). 



Singapore (Distant). 



Watson's type was iajns, de Niceville ; as ohscura and 

 iapis belong to the same genus, as Elwes says, then the 

 genus Lophoides must fall. 



Isma protoclea. 



Goniloha protoclea, Herr.-Schaff., Prodromus, 1869, p. 195, 



No. 44. 

 Goniloha protoclea, Plotz, pi. 554. 

 Isotcinon iains, de Nicev., Journ. Bomb. N. H. Soc, v, p. 



213, pi. E, f.9, $ (1890). 

 Lophoidcs iapis, Watson, P. Z. S., 1893, p. 84. 



Herrich-Schaffer described protoclea without giving any 

 habitat ; Plotz's figure is merely a very carefully-executed 

 coloured drawing of Herrich-Schaffer's type ; there can be 

 no doubt that it represents iapis of de Niceville from 

 Burma and the Malay Peninsula. 



SANCUS, de Nicev., Journ. Bomb. N. H. Soc, vi, p. 395 

 (1891), type S2thfasciatus, Moore,

 Antigonus forensis, Plotz, 1. c, pi. 1523. 

 Astictopterus ulunda, Staud., Iris, ii, p. 146 (1889). 



Borneo, Philippines {Plotz). 



Plotz's Philippine example is larger than his Bornean 

 example, and is evidently a female ; I have a female ex- 

 ample of the allied form suhfasciatus, Moore, from Karwar,
