As far as I am aware, the genas Logania contains the following 

 species. I include in it the two species, L. marmorata, Moore, and 

 L, sriwa, Distant, which constitute Jtlr. Doherty's genus Malais, as he 

 himself doubted subsequently the validity of the genus.* I have 

 arranged the species chronologically. 



(1) ? LoGAXiA REGINA, Druce, Borneo {Bruce). This species may 

 be au Allotinus. To judge from the figure, the type specimen must 

 have been a male, as the body is very long. Mr. Druce does not say 

 what sex he described. 



(2) LoGAXiA MALAYicA, Distant, Sungei Ujong, in the Malay Pen- 

 insula (Distant); S.-E, Borneo; PuloLaut; Sibulan, S.-E. Mindanao, 

 one of the Philippine Isles. 



(3) ? LoGAXiA LAHOMius, Khiel, Nias Island {Khiel). This species 

 may also be an Allotinus. The specimen figured seems to be a male, as 

 it has a very long body. 



(4) LoGANiA MARMORATA, Moore, Elphinstone Island in the Mergui 

 Archipelago (Moore); Mone in the Shan States; Perak ; N.-E. 

 Sumatra ; Pulo Laut. 



(5) LoGANiA SRIWA, Distant, Malacca (^Distant) ; Perak; Pulo Laut. 



(6) LoGANiA OBSCURA, Distant, Northern Borneo (^Distant) ; 

 Palawan, Cebu, and East Mindanao, in the Philippine Isles. 



(7) LoGANiA DiSTANTi, Semper, Cebu, S.-E. Mindanao, Philippine 

 Isles (Semjper). 



(8) LoGANiA DISTANTI, Staudinger, Palawan (Staudinger). Herr 

 Semper places this species as a synonym of L. ohscura. 



(9) LoGANiA MASSALiA, Dohcrty, Margherita, in Upper Assam 

 {Bolierty). 



(iO) L07ANIA LL'CA, de Nicevillc, K-E. Sumatra (de Niceville).

Description : Female. TJpperside, both icings fuscous. Forewing 

 with a large oval discal white patch, which, in some lights, is entirely 

 suffused with beautiful rich iridescent emerald-green, and in all lights 

 is more or less bordered by this colour; the patch commences be- 

 yond the discoidal cell just anterior to the third median nervule, and 

 reaches the inner margin, its posterior portion, however, is much dif- 

 fused; just beyond the patch are two rounded emerald-green spots 

 divided by the second median nervule. Hindioing with a rather lar^^c
