301. LOGANIA MARMORATA, Moore. 



Originally described from Elphinstone Island in the Mergui 

 Archipelago of Lower Burma. 



302. Logania luca, de Niceville. 



L. luca, de Niceville, Journ. A. S. B., vol. lxiii, pt. 2, p. 28, n. 24, pi. ii, fig. 13, 

 female (1894). 



Found in Burma (Rangoon, the Daunat Range and Ataran Valley 

 in Tenasserim), in the Malay Peninsula (Perak), and in Sumatra. 

 This is the species referred to by Doherty under Logania massalia in 

 Journ. A. S. B., vol. Ix, pt. 2, p. 37, n. 10 (1891), as being undescribed 

 from Perak. The general colour of the ground on the underside is 

 brownish-ochreous or pale ferruginous. The figure has been badly re- 

 produced, as it shews the apex of the forewing far too acute. 



303. Logania massalia, Doherty. 



Described from Margherita in Upper Assam. I possess specimens 

 from the Daunat Range in Tenasserim, Burma, from Singapore cap- 

 tured by Dr. Martin, and from Sumatra and Java. The ground-colour 

 of the underside is quite different to that of L. luca, de Niceville, being 

 white speckled with blackish and ochreous, instead of pale ferruginous. 

 The males of both these species have a small round Avhite spot in the 

 middle of the disc of the forewing on the upperside, the hindwing 

 throughout concolorous with the forewing, both being dull purplish- 

 fuscous. A list of the known species of the genus will be found in 

 Journ. A. S. B., vol. lxiii, pt. 2, p. 29 (1894). The Loganias are true 

 inhabitants of large forest, and fly like Gerydus round the buds of low 

 bushes, but are decidedly quicker on the wing than they. L. malayica, 

 Distant, and L. sriwa, Distant, occur all the year round in the forests 

 of the plains, and do not go much higher than Namoe Oekor. Both 

 species remind one when flying of a common lycsenid, such as Cyaniris 

 or Catochrysops. L. marmorata, Moore, L. luca, de Niceville, and 

 L. massalia are found at higher elevations beginning with Namoe Oekor, 

 and occur mostly in the first months of the year, January and Febru- 

 ai-y. In 1893 and 1894 Dr. Martin caught a pair of L. marmorata 

 in coitu in January in the forest south of Namoe Oekor. The white 

 patch on the upperside of the forewing not reaching the base of the 

 wing will at once separate L. massalia from L. marmorata and L. luca. 



304. Zarona pharygoides, de Niceville. 



Z. pharygoides, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soo., vol. v, p. 208, pi. E, 

 fig. 3, male (1890). 



The type specimen was from Johore in the Malay Peninsula. Dr.
