Hah. Province Wellesley [coll. Dist.). 



This species is allied to the E. sumatrana, Hew., from 

 which it differs by the pale patch on the upper surface of the 

 posterior wings, and by the subcostal stramineous spot be- 

 neath. 



An unlocalizedand unidentified specimen in the Hewitsonian 

 collection is clearly the female of this species, and also differs 

 strongly from the corresponding sex of E. sumatrana. 



Fam. Lycaenidae. 

 Logania sriioa, n. sp. 



Wings above violaceous white; anterior wings with*the 

 costal margin spotted with fuscous and the apical area (not 

 quite reaching to outer angle) dark fuscous ; posterior wings 

 with the fringe spotted with fuscous. Wings beneath fuscous- 

 brown with darker blotches, and irrorated and speckled with 

 greyish white ; this whitish coloration is most prominent on 

 the anterior wings at apex and outer angles ; and on the 

 posterior wings it appears as an irregular broad subcostal 

 streak, the posterior wings are also more darkly marked than 

 the anterior. Body above brownish, beneath greyish ; legs 

 very pale brownish with dark annulations.

* I place this species provisionally in the genus Zizera, from which it 

 differs by having the lirst subcostal nervule completely anastomosed
