L. glauca, described from Java in Tijd. voor Ent., Vol. XXXV, 

 pp. 140, n. 5, and 142, n. 6 (1892), taken from the types, which 

 are reproduced on PI. FF, figures 8 and 9, respectively. Both 

 represent the male sex, and are tailless species of the genus Nacaduha. 

 They are certainly distinct from N. ni, but are very near to 

 N. noreia, Felder, the tailed form of which has been described as a 

 distinct species by Dr. F. Moore as N. ardates, to N. hampsonii, de 

 Niceville, and to N. dana^ de Niceville, the latter prohably being 

 the same species as Pleheius tombugensis, Rober, Iris, Vol. I, p. 63, 

 pi. V, fig. 18, male (1888), from Tomboegoe in East Celebes, and 

 Lyccena ardeola^ Staudinger, Iris, Vol. II, p. 97 (1889) from 

 Darjeeling, Calcutta [this latter locality is certainly incorrect], 

 and Palawan, one of the islands in the Philippine Archi- 

 pelago. The drawing of " Lyccena " glauca agrees almost exactly, 

 except in being taken from a larger specimen, with specimens of 

 N. noreia from Java in my collection. Another allied species is 

 N. nelidesj de Niceville, Journal, Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc, Vol. IX, 

 p. 280, n. 16, pi. 0, fig. 24, male (1895), from N.-E. Sumatra. 

 The typical form from Sumatra is tailed, but on page 281, I de- 

 scribed a tailless variety from West Java of the same species. This 

 also is very close to the drawing of iV. glauca. Till the types or 

 typical specimens o£ these various species are brought together and 

 carefully compared, it will, I fear, be very difficult to say definitely 

 how mauy of them, or if all, are really distinct species or not. 



Described from many males from N.-E. Sumatra, and a single 

 male from Sukabuni, 2,000 feet, W. Java, collected by Mr. H. Fruhstor- 

 fer in 1893.

 pi. iv, figs. lA, male; IB, female (1888); id.. Leech, Butt, from

Habitat : Japan. 



Expanse : $, 2-0 to 2*1 ; $ 2-0 to 2*2 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both icings may be distinguished 

 from all known species of the genus by having the red areas of a duller 

 colour, ferruginous rather than cupreous ; as usual, the extent of 

 the red colouration varies greatly, in some specimens being twice 

 as great as in others. Female. Upperside, both wings difFeren-
