NEW INDO-MALAYAN BUTTERFLIES. 355 



As far as is known to me, the genus Lotongus now contains three 

 species — L. calathus, Hewitson, L. maculatus, Distant, and 

 L. parthenope, Weymer. Of these I have only seen the latter. All 

 the species have hitherto been described from female examples only, 

 at least that is my impression. Mr. W. F. Kirby has kindly 

 examined the type specimen of L. calathus in the British Museum, 

 and informs me that it is a female. I judge that L. maculatus is 

 also a female, as it has the pale-coloured apical patch to the hind wing 

 on the underside, which is apparently a female character. Unfortu- 

 nately Mr. Kirby was unable to ascertain the whereabouts of the type 

 specimen, and Mr. Distant does not say what sex he described. The 

 shape of the wings, however, is masculine, but this may be due to 

 bad drawing. I have here described a male of the genus for the first 

 time. L. parthenope female differs from that sex of Jj. calathus in the 

 forewing in having the three discal spots widely separated, in the 

 latter they would touch but for the dividing veins, and the ochreous 

 apex to the hindwing on both sides is much more extensive in 

 h. calathus. It is much closer, however, toL. niaculafus, from which, 

 supposing the type specimen to be a male, it differs on the upperside 

 of the forewing in having the upper spot only of the two in the cell, 

 and in lacking on the underside of the hindwing the ochreous apex : 

 supposing it to be a female, L. parthenojje differs very greatly in the 

 outline of the wings, the discal spots on the upperside of the forewing 

 are larger and more widely separated, these spots on the underside 

 of L. maculatus appearing to form a straight band "containing a 

 central fuliginous spot," which does not at all describe the position 

 of the spots in L. parthenope. 



Described from two maje and one female specimen sent to me by 

 Herr G. Hoppenstedt of Java.
