Felder's collection is now in the Museum of the Hon. W alter Eothschild at Tring, 

 and Dr. Jordan, to whom we applied for an account of Felder's type of this species, 

 writes that the specimen which stands as Astictopterus jama in Felder's collection is 

 not that species, as it has a broad yellow band across the fore wing somewhat like 

 sindu, and that there are a number of specimens from Malacca in the same drawer 

 without names, of which one may be the type of jama. We do not know what insect 

 was identified by Distant as jama, Feld,, nor how Watson identified as jama, Feld., 

 the insect from which his description (P.[Z. S. 1893, p. 114) of the genus Astictopterus 

 was taken. 



Apostictopterus. 

 Apostictopterus, Leech, Butt. China &c. p. 630 (1894). Type fuliginosus, Leech. 



Antennee about half as long as costa, club gradual ; apiculus robust. Palpi ascend- 

 ing; third joint porrect, cylindrical, at least as long as half the diameter of the eye. 

 Wings comparatively long and narrow : tip of fore wing truncate, i. e. the termen is 

 nearly vertical from vein 5 to the costa, and inwardly oblique from vein 5 to vein la 

 with an obtuse but distinct angle at the end of vein 5 ; vein 2 from the basal third 

 of the lower edge of the cell ; vein 5 a trifle nearer 4 than 6 ; vein 11 normal, i. e. not 

 in any way approaching vein 12. Tibial epiphysis present, hind tibiae with two pairs 

 of spurs. 



The foregoing characters are present in Mr. Leech's unique type of Apostictopterus 

 fuliginosus, which he has been so good as to entrust to us for examination. The genus 

 should stand next to Astictopterus.

 Type subfasciatus, Moore =pulligo, Mab. 



Body and wings above entirely dark brown. Palpi appressed, 2nd joint densely 

 scaled, 3rd joint almost concealed. Fore wing with vein 12 shortly touching vein 11 

 near its base. Sex-mark of the male, when present, an oblong-oval patch of modified 

 scales in the basal third of cell 1 a on the fore wing below and touching the median 

 and the base of vein 2 ; its presence is not always well indicated on the upper surface 

 of the wing. The fore wing is rather narrow and feebly subtruncate at the apex, the
