662 MR. H. J. EI.WES ON BUTTERFLIES FROM [DeC. 6, 



on tlie underside of hind wings, which are visible when carefully 

 examined. 



ASTICTOPTERUS GEMMIFER. 



A. gemmifer, Butl. Trans. Linn.Soc, 2nd ser. Zool. i. p. 555 (1877). 



Kerana gemmifer, Dist. Rhop. Mai. i. p. 403, t. xxxiv. 29. 



I have this also from Perak, where it seems not uncommon. It 

 agrees with specimens from Pulo Laut, Borneo. I cannot follow 

 Distant in his generic separation of this species from the last. 



AsTiCTOPTERus LADANA. (Plate XLTII. fig. 4, S .) 

 Carystus ladana, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1870, p. 502. 

 Three specimens from Perak agree with the type from Borneo 

 in the British Museum. Above they are very like A. gemmifer, but 

 are easily distinguished by the yellow colour of the legs, palpi, and 

 abdomen below, and by the orange tinge on the inner margin of the 

 hind wings below. I do not know in what genus to put this species. 

 Carystus is a name of Hiibner's adopted by Butler, who puts in the 

 genus four South-American species. 



AsTiCTOPTERUs siNDu. (Plate XLIII. fig. 3, c? .) 

 A. sindu, Feld. Wien. ent. Mon. iv. p. 401 (1860). 

 A single specimen of this small species from Perak has the band 

 of the fore wing less developed than in specimens from Borneo. It 

 is distinguished by the colour of the hind wing below, which is 

 sprinkled with yellow scales, from A. ccanites or A. gemmifer. 



ASTICTOPTERUS OLIVASCENS. 



A. olivascens, Moore, P. Z.S. 1878, p.692. 



A. olivascens^ Wood-Mason & de Nicev. J. A. S. B. 1886, pt. ii. 

 p. 381, t. xviii. 2, 2 a ?. 



I believe there are two species confused under this name, of which 

 one may be the A. jama of Felder ; but what Distant calls A. jama, 

 Rhop. Mai. p. 401, may be A. suhfasciatus. The one is in the 

 male sex plain unspotted black on both surfaces, with some green 

 scales on the hind wing below ; the female has two spots at the 

 apex of the fore wing. I have it from Sikkim, Bhutan, the 

 Khasia and Naga Hills, Margharita, the Shan Hills, Perak, and 

 West Java. 



The other has the underside dull brown with some darker 

 markings on the hind wing below, two or three glossy spots in both 

 sexes near the apex and another below it beyond the cell. 



This I have from Burmah, the Karen and Shan Hills. 



AsTICTOPTERUS BTJTLERI. 



A. butleri, Wood-Mason & de Nicev. J. A. S. B. 18H3, nt. ii. 

 p. 98, t. X. 3 c? . 



Two males from Margharita.
