15 c?. 



A single male from the Karen Hills agrees with the plate, and 

 seems quite distinct. I have a very closely allied if not identical 

 species from Pulo Laut, Borneo. 



Plastingia naga. 



Hesperia ? naga, de Nicev. J. A. S. B. 1883, p. 89, t. x. 2 $ . 



A single specimen from the Karen Hills, which I believe to he a 

 male, agrees with the plate except that the discal and apical spots of 

 the fore wing are double. I have the same species from Pulo Laut. 

 According to de Niceville this species is the same as P. tessellata. Hew., 

 which name has priority. 



Notocrypta ficulnea. 



Hesperia ficulnea. Hew. Descr, Hesp. p. 37 (1868). 



Plesioneura signata, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 360, t. xxxiii. 8. 



Notocrypta sigyiata, de Nicev. Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. 

 vol. vi. p. 380. n. 26(1891). 



Four specimens from Perak which agree with Hewitson's type 

 from Borneo and also with Druce's description ; they are not unlike 

 the spotless var. of N. alysos, but have no apical spot on fore wing, 

 the transparent band shorter, and are of a deeper brown, almost pure 

 black, with bluish instead of yellowish tinge in the band. 



Notocrypta alysos. 



Plesioneura alysos, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 789. 



Notocrypta alysos, de Nicev. Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. iv. 

 p. 189 (1889). 



Most of the specimens from Perak which I refer to this species 

 have no spot beyond the hand, and would by some be considered 

 another species. I have, however, similar ones from Sikkim, and one 

 Perak female has a single spot as usual in N. alysos, another having 

 the additional spots which are found in P. paralyses, Moore. An 

 allied species has been described as P. monteithi by Wood-Mason and 

 de Niceville in J. A. S. B. iv. p. 391, t. xviii. 3, 3 « $ ; another as 

 P. albifascia, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 843, t. liii. 3 ; in neither 

 of which can I discover any characters justifying their separation. 



Notocrypta nejera. 



Notocrypta necera, de Nicev. Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. vol. vi. 

 1891, p. 379, t. G. 27 ? . 



A single female from Perak was described by Mr. de Niceville, 

 who has others also from Perak in his collection. I have also a 

 small worn male from the Karen Hills which agrees with a specimen 

 from Singapore unnamed in the Hewitson collection.
