28 L. de Niceville — Butterflies from the Indo-Malayan region. [No. 1 



with the lines on the costa and " male-mark " as usual. Underside, 

 both wings pale rufous, profusely and evenly sprinked with dots and 

 spots of a deeper rufous colour ; a marginal series of very small black 

 spots, one in each interspace. 



Closely allied to P. ^ortunus, mihi, from Java, but differs on the 

 upperside in being rufous-brown, instead of dull hair-brown, and on 

 the underside in having the ground-colour pale rufous instead of pale 

 ochreous, and in the presence of the marginal black dots. 



Described from a single example received fi'om the late Mr. W. 

 Davison. 



24. LoGANiA LUCA, n. sp., Plate II, Fig. 13, 5 . 



Habitat: Perak, Malay Peninsula; N.-E. Sumatra. 



Expanse : $ , 1*0 inch. 



Description : Female. Upperside, foreiving with the basal half 

 milky- white, the outer half fuscous, the costa and base dusky, the ex- 

 treme costa dotted with white on the basal half. Hindiving fuscous, 

 the disc obscurely purplish-white. Underside, hoth icings with the 

 ground-colour probably white, but the surface is so thickly irrorated 

 with brownish-ochreous that the ground-colour appears only as minute 

 white dots profusely and evenly scattered over the surface mixed with 

 a few black scales, Foreiving with an obscure darker spot towards 

 the end of the discoidal cell, and a similar discal band. Hindwing with 

 some very obscure dark spots towards the base, an oblong one at the end 

 of the cell, and a curved discal baud crossing the wing fi*om the costa to 

 the abdominal margin. 



Probably nearest to L. marnwrata, Moore, the two original speci- 

 mens of which, in very poor condition (probably both females, one cer- 

 tainly is that sex, the body of the other is lost, but the shape of the 

 wings is certainly feminine), are before me. L. luca differs fi'om them 

 in having the outer margin of both wings more even, not distinctly scal- 

 lopped, and the ground-colour of the underside is far redder, with the 

 irrovations much more dense ; this latter, however, is a variable feature 

 in L. onarmorata, as shewn in Mr, Moore's and my figures of the species 

 taken from different specimens. L. luca may be still nearer to L. ohsctira, 

 Distant, but the short original description of the latter does not in 

 several particulars fit my specimens ; Semper's and Staudinger's figures 

 of the species agree very well with my specimens on the upperside, but 

 neither of them agree on the underside, 



I took two fresh specimens of this species in the high forest at Namoe 

 Oekor, in October, 1893, They were flying amongst and settling on the 

 low bushes growing under the high trees, I also possess two other 

 females from Perak,
