SUADA ALBINUS. 

 Suastus albinus, Semper, Schinett. Philipp. p. 299, pi. xlix. fig. 8, $ (nee <$) (1892). 



Hab. S.W. Mindanao (Semper) ; Davao, Mindoro (Staudinger). 



Herr Semper is mistaken as to the sex of his single example of this species; it is 

 undoubtedly a female.

 and the black spots on the white portion of the hind wing below. 



Suastus. 

 Suastus, Moore, Lep. Cey. vol. i. p. 168 (1881) ; Watson, P. Z. S. 1893, p. 75. Type gremius, Fab. 



No hyaline spot in cell 4 of fore wing. Third joint of palpi acicular, erect, one- 

 third to one-half as long as the diameter of the eye. Fore wing ; vein 11 not 

 touching 12 ; vein 2 nearer the base of the wing than the end of the cell. 



We are acquainted with five species of this genus, distinguished as follows : — 



1 (8). Hind wing above not marked with white. 



2 (7). Hind wing below not sprinkled with purple scales. 



3 (6). Pale spot in cell la of fore wing below not reaching the termen. 



4 (5). Dark spots on hind wing below black. Expanse about 38 mm. . . . gremius, Fab. 



5 (4) . Dark spots on hind wing below but little darker than the ground- 



colour. Expanse about 30 mm sola, Hew. 



6 (3). Pale spotin cell 1 a of fore wing below pure white, and, with the exception 



of a small piece in the upper outer angle of that cell, occupying 

 the entire space between the dorsum and vein 2 from the termen to 

 the middle of the w ! ing. Hind wing below brown, closely sprinkled 

 with whitish-grey scales and bearing a few brown spots, of which 

 two in cell 1 b, one near the base of vein 2, and the other near the 

 apical third of the cell, one each in cells 2 and 3, and one in the 

 apex of the cell are the most evident; an anteciliary brown line; 

 fringe white migreus, Semper.
