! Taeactkocera archias. 

 Pamphila archias, F elder, Sitzb. Ak. Wiss. Matli. Nat. CI. xl. p. 462, sep. p. 15 (1860). 

 Thymelicus nigrolimbatus, Snellen, Tijd. Ent. xix. p. 165, pi. vii. fig. 5 (1876). 

 Telicota nigrolimbata, Distant, Rhop. Mai. p. 384, pi. xxxv. fig. 16 (1886). 



According to a specimen received from M. Mabille, this is the same as Pamphila 

 dschctlia, Plotz. 



In the Felder collection, under the name " Pamphila archias" are four specimens ; 

 two of these are without locality-labels and may be disregarded, but the remaining 

 two which are labelled in contemporary handwriting " Amboina, Dolesch," are 

 without doubt the same as Thymelicus nigrolimbatus, Snellen. 



Hah. Java (Piepers) ; Sambawa, Bali, Arjuno, Java (Doherty). 



! Taractrocera oberthuri, n. sp. 



5 . Upperside similar to that of T. ziclea, but having the yellow markings less 

 extensive. Hind wing below sordid yellow, by reason of a dense clothing of sulphureous 

 scales on a dark brown ground ; a large oblong pale spot occupying about the middle 

 third of cells 4-5, a roundish one in the cell near the base of vein 7, another near the 

 basal third of cell 2, and a feeble one in the base of cell 6 ; cell 1 b pale.

Described from one female lent to us by M. Charles Oberthiir. 



Ochus. 

 Ochus, de Niceville, Jour. As. Soc. Beng. 1894, p. 51. Type subvittatus, Moore. 



This is a genus established by Mr. de Niceville for the Cyclopides subvittatus of 

 Moore. It is mainly distinguished from Baracus (e. g. B. seiptentrionum andlB. subditus) 

 by having the base of cell 6 in the fore wing nearly as long as that of cell 5, and vein 

 11 not approaching vein 12.

Ampittia. 

 Ampittia, Moore, Lep. Cey. i. p. 171 (1881) ; Watson, P. Z. S. 1893, p. 95. Type maro, Fab. 



A group comprising a few small species, dark brown with yellow spots, associated on 

 account of their general resemblance to the Hesperia maro of Fabricius. In the latter 

 there is no evident apiculus to the club of the antennae, although a small one is present 

 in the other species. The males of those species possessing a sex-mark on the fore 

 wing above have the " tuning-fork " arrangement of the subcostal veins in the hind 

 wing. We distinguish the species known to us as follows : —
