A EE VISION OF THE OEIENTAL HESPERIID^E. 227 



! Plastingia latoia. (Plate XXIV. fig. 53.) 



Hesperia latoia, Hewitscm, Descr. Hesp. p. 34 (1868) ; id. Exot. Butt., v. Hesp. pi. vi. figs. 62, 63 



(1873). 

 ? Plastingia callineura et v&r.flavia, Staudinger, Iris, ii. p. 150 (1889). 



Distinguished from the preceding species by its slightly smaller size, the yellow 

 veins on the hind wing below, and the single tooth into which the lower lobe of the 

 clasp is produced. 



The variety fiavia from Palawan is said to be distinguished from callineura by its 

 smaller size ; it may possibly be a distinct species, but we have had no opportunity of 

 comparing its male genitalia with those of P. latoia. A female from Palawan, ex coll. 

 Rothschild, expands 39 mm., and very possibly represents a distinct species; it does 

 not agree with the same sex of either latoia or callineura. 



Hab. Pulo Laut (Dolierty) ; East Java {coll. Piepers) ; Singapore (fide Hewitson) ; 

 Selesseh, Sumatra (in coll. Bothschild). 



! Plastingia margherita. (Plate XXIV. figs. 54, 54 a.) 



Plastingia margherita, Dolierty, Jour. As. Soc. Beng. 1889, p. 131, pi. x. fig. 5, 6 . 



Hab. Margherita, Upper Assam (Doherty) ; Naga hills (Dolierty). 

 As I have the type of this species, I am able to say that it seems as distinct a species 

 as any in the genus, though closely allied to latoia. — H. J. E. 



! Plastingia Helena. 

 Plastingia helena, Butler, Lep. Exot. p. 190, pi. lxiv. fig. 3 (1874). 



Hab. Sarawak (Low, fide Butler) ; Pulo Laut (Doherty) ; Namoe Ockor, Sumatra 

 (in coll. Bothschild). 



Plastingia vermiculata. 



Hesperia vermiculata, Hewitson, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. i. p. 346 (1878). 

 Plastingia vermiculata, de Niceville, Jour. As. Soc. Beng. 1894, p. 56, pi. v. fig. 15, <3 . 



This species is distinguished by having the termen of the hind wing broadly and 

 decreasingly yellow from the tornus as far as vein 3. The hind wing below has several 

 large bluish-white spots or dashes. 



Hab. Battak Mountains, Sumatra (Martin, fide de Niceville). 



! Plastingia fruhstorferi. (Plate XIX. fig. 19, d ; Plate XXIV. figs. 55. 55 a.) 



Plastingia fruhstorferi, Mabille, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxxvii. p. 52 (1893). 



Hab. Java (Fruhstorfer) ; Pulo Laut (Dolierty) ; Labuan (coll. Staudinger) ; Selesseh
