554 MR. A.. G. BUTLER ON THE BUTTERFLIES OF MALACCA. 



Genus Hesperia, Eabricius. 



1. Hesperia harisa, (Ismene harisa) Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 782 (1865). ? , Malacca. 



2. Hesperia vitta, Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. p. 498 (1870) ; Lep. Exot. pi. lix. fig. 9 

 (1874). cJ, Malacca. 



The examples from Malacca nave two minute transparent dots placed obliquely beyond 

 the cell of primaries. I have no opportunity of comparing the type at present, and 

 therefore do not know if there is any trace of these dots in the Bornean form. 



3. Hesperia badra, (Goniloba badra) Moore, P. Z. S. p. 778 (1865). c? ?, Malacca. 



Genus Cobaltjs, Hiibner. 



1. Cobaltjs elia, {Hesperia elia) Hewitson, Trans. Ent. Soc. ser. 3, vol. ii. p. 489. n. 9 

 (1866). c? ? , Malacca. The type was described from Sumatra. 



2. Cobaltjs ciliattjs, n. sp. Hark chocolate-brown ; primaries with two small spots 

 placed obliquely upon the median interspaces, and three dots in an angular line beyond the 

 cell hyaline white ; secondaries with a broad abbreviated transverse band from the ab- 

 dominal margin, and the fringe (excepting at apex) white ; body above greyish ; head and 

 prothorax shot with golden green ; abdomen irregularly white at the sides. Primaries 

 below as above ; secondaries crossed by a broad angular white band, its lower half twice 

 as broad as its upper, connected with the white fringe by a white spur upon the second 

 median interspace ; body below white, abdomen laterally banded with black liturse, anus 

 brown. Expanse of wings 1 inch 7 lines. ? , Malacca. 



Genus Pamphila, Eabricius. 

 Section Oegenes, Hiibner. 



1. Pamphila aria, (Ismene aria) Moore, P. Z. S. p. 784 (1865). <? ? , Malacca. The 

 type was from Bengal. 



2. Pamphila jtjliantjs, (Hesperia Julianas) Latreille, Enc. Meth. ix. p. 763. n. 99 

 (1823). S . Malacca. Originally discovered in Java. 



3. Pamphila Matthias, (Hesperia mattliias) Eabricius, Ent. Syst. Suppl. p. 433 (1798). 

 c? ? , Malacca ; $ , Penang. 



Section Pamphila (typical). 



4. Pamphila atjgias, Linnaeus, Syst. Nat. i. 2, p. 794. n. 257 (1767). <$ , Malacca; 

 Penang. 



5. Pamphila m^soldes, n. sp. Above very like JP. mcesa of Moore, deep chocolate- 

 brown, banded and spotted with tawny; below similarly marked to JP. mcesa, but suffused 

 with deep tawny throughout. Expanse of wings 1 inch 1 line. <? ? , Malacca. This 

 species is at once distinguished from JP. mcesa by the tawny colour of its bands (in 

 P. mcesa, they are ochreous) ; the outer band of primaries is also somewhat less irre- 

 gular ; and the ground-colour of the underside is tawny instead of yellow.
