8 (1). Subtornal region of hind wing above in greater or less part pure 

 white. Hind wing below white; costa brown as far as vein 7 ; a large 

 subquadrate black spot beyond the middle of cell 1 b, 3l small one 

 nest the transverse vein^ and one or two others tripura, de Nicev, 



The Carystus telesinus of Mabille, which Semper includes in this genus, we place 

 tentatively in Plastingia ; it has not the facies of Suastus nor the long acicular third 

 joint of the palpi characteristic of that genus.

" Above, male all dark brown, no hyaline markings nor patches of lighter brown 

 scales. Below, fore wing with a minute white dot discally in the lower median space, 

 the subapical hyaline spots represented by two slight dark'streaks, the lower (in one 

 specimen) containing a lighter dot. Hind wing nearly white (not grey as in 

 *S^. gremius), the borders dark ; a conspicuous black cell-spot, and a row of black discal 

 spots, six in one specimen, four in the other. The absence of hyaline spots 

 distinguishes it from all others. Two males, Sumba coast." [Doherty, I. c.) 



We have not seen this species and do not know whether the types still exist.

Herr Semper has been good enough to lend us the specimen figured in his work, 

 which is certainly a male. The species is well characterized by the large white patch 

 in the tornus of the fore wing below.
