agreeing in this respect with three from Piilo Laut ; but there are 

 also three other forms from Pulo Laut, and one from Nias {apocha, 

 Kheil), which differ again in their markings below, and make me 

 think that the species is either a very variable one, or that there are 

 several species not yet distinguished, and which can only be identified 

 with certainty by a study of their anal organs. 



Paragerydus taras. 



Paragerydus taras, Doh. J. A. S. B. Iviii. pt. ii. p. 437, t. xxiii. 

 10 ; Butt. Ind. iii. p. 27. 



Two specimens from the Karen Hills, so named by Doherty, are 

 much damaged and have lost their abdomens, but agree on the 

 underside with the figure. The species is well described and figured 

 by Doherty, who says that its prehensores are obviously different 

 from those of P. horsfieldi. 



He also thinks that the genus Paragerydus of Distant is not 

 distinct from Allotiuus, Felder. 



Allotinus multistrigatus. 



Allutinus multistrigatus, de Nicev. J. A. S. B. Iv. pt. ii. p. 253, 

 t. xi. 11 c?, 12 $ ; Butt. Ind. iii. p. 29. 



A female from the Naga Hills agrees with specimens taken by 

 myself at Cherrapunji in the Khasia Hills. 



Allotinus alkamah. 



? Allotinus alkamah, Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 4.52, t. xliv. 3 6 (1886). 



1 Allotinus subviolaceus, Feld. Ileise Nov. t. 35. figs. 27, 28 

 (1865). 



I have no Burmese specimens of this, but two females from Pulo 

 Laut, which agree with Felder's plate of A. subviolaceus from Java, 

 also agree with Distant's figure, and make me think that the character 

 mentioned by him, viz. the larger violaceous area of the fore wing, 

 is inconstant. 



Allotinus panormis, n. sp. (Plate XLIIL figs. 8 d , 9 $ .) 



Allotinus ^anormis, Doh. MSS. 



A single female of this distinct species was so labelled, but 1 can 

 find no description published by Doherty. It came from Petichaung 

 at the foot of the Karen Hills. He also sent a female from Perak 

 which appears to he the same species, though the markings of the 

 underside are not quite identical. 



(5 & $ . Above dark brown, below milk-white, with numerous 

 pale brown striges on both wings, which coalesce into an irregular 

 bar beyond the middle of the wings and in the female form a line 

 of lunules across hind wing ; a row of white dots margined with 

 black along the border, which with the apical area is darker brown ; 

 fringes paler.
