collection, though L. talinga is so very much smaller an insect, while 

 iliis border is proportionally also wider in the female ; and on the 

 underside of the forewing in both sexes there are two costal white dots 

 anterior to the two internal white strigse, which are never found in 

 L. elpis, N.-E. Sumatra is very rich in species of this germs, 



the following being represented : — 



Both sexes, underside, foreiving loith tioo oostal ivJiite dots. 



1. L. celeno, Cramer (celianus, Fabricius, auotorum'). 



2. L, oleodus, Felder = L.jjura, Moore. 



3. L. saturata, Snellen. 

 i. L. tal'mga, Kheil. 



Both sexes, underside, foretcing with no costal white dots. 

 .5. L. elpis, Godart. 



6. L. kondulana, Felder = L. ecerulea, Druce = jjssudelpis^ Butler. 



7. L. suddita, Moore. 



8. L. viargarita, Martin. 



9. L. hoehides, de Niceville. 



10. L. ahdul (ahdula in Index of plates to Khop. Malay.) Distant = maral at a 



Doherty. 



11. L. Zwc'itZe, de Niceville. 



Of these, the two latter are excessively rare. The discovery of the 

 fact that L. abdul (which was described from a female specimen 

 which I have examined at Dresden in Dr. 0. Standinger's magnifi- 

 cent collection, and has a broader black margin on the upperside to 

 both wings than any other species known to me), should have a male 

 with an equally broad black margin but with the base of the wings of 

 a metallic green of a peculiar shade — a feature unique in the genus — 

 is most interesting. 



L. talinga is quite common in Sumatra where it occurs. 1 possess 

 seven xnales and nine females, while Hofrath Dr. L. Martin has also 

 numerous examples.
