J901.] L. de Niceville — Butterflies of the suhgemis Tronga. 23 



In Sumatra, the butterflies of the N.-E. portion of which are well- 

 known to me in life,* only one species of Grastia is I believe to be found, 

 the distantii of Moore ; though amymo7ie, Godart, described from Amboina, 

 has been recorded from thence ; and inconspicua, Moore, and felderij 

 Butler, have been both described from Sumatra. G. felderi certainly 

 occurs in Hongkong and is a synonym of lorquinii, Felder ; while 

 G. inconspicua, the description of which discloses a species apparently 

 distinct from either distantii or felderi, having an immaculate forewing 

 on the upperside, may have been wrongly labelled by Dr. A. R. Wallace, 

 or occurs in a different part of the island to that with which I am 

 familiar. 



From Java two distinct species have been recorded — godartii, Lucas, 

 which was I believe originally described from Java, but the work in which 

 it is described is not in the Calcutta libraries, anyhow, it probably does 

 not really occur in Java; and haiuorthii, Lucas ( = hubneri, Moore, + 

 moorei, Felder, -{■ janus, Butlev, = eleiisina, Hlibner, part, 7iec Cramer). In 

 my collection I have but a single Crastia from Java, which I call haivorthii, 

 Lucas. It is extremely variable, in some male specimens the brand is 

 almost half the length and quite half the breadth that it is in others, 

 and the maculation also is not exactly the same in any two of my four- 

 teen specimens. I think that Mr. W. F. Kirby in the new edition of 

 Hiibner's Ex. Schmett., pp. 6, 7, has misinterpreted the figures on 

 pi. 222 (9) of that work. Figures 1 and 2 represent a male Grastia 

 which will stand as C. hawoo'thii, Lucas, = Imhneri, Moore, = moorei, 

 Felder, ^janus, Butler; while figures 3 and 4 represent the female of 

 Selinda eleusinaj Cramer, the male of which is figured by Cramer in Ex. 

 Lep., on plate cclxvi, fig. D. Mr. Kirby calls figs. 1 and 2 " Selinda 

 janus, Butler," and figs. 3 and 4 ^^ Selinda eleusinaj StoU [CramerJ. In 

 Java only one species of Grastia appears to be found. 



From the Philippines two species of Crastia have been recorded, 

 snellenif Moore, and godartii, Lucas, the latter almost certainly incorrectly.
