454 L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin — Butterflies of Sumatra. [No. 3, 



(7. carna, de Niceville, and 0. melsena, Doherty, are very rare, whilst 

 the four remaining species are very common and brought in by the col- 

 lectors in large numbers. The males only are caught on wet spots on 

 roads and on the sandy banks of small hill streams ; the very scarce 

 females can only be taken in the forest, where they are looking for and 

 ovipositing on the food-plants of the larvse, or feeding on the flowers of 

 certain Compositse. 



335. *Cyaniris haraldus, Fabricius. 



Grose Smith as Lycsenopsis ananga. Distant. Butler. Kirby as 

 haraldus and ananga. I have never seen this very rare species. Its 

 record from Sumatra is probably correct, so striking a butterfly is not 

 likely to have been wrongly identified. The Lycsenopsis ananga of Felder 

 is a synonym of G. haraldus. I think it probable that the genus Lyese- 

 nopsis is valid, at any rate the type species is a very different-looking 

 animal to all the species of Cyaniris known to me. 



336. Zizera lysimon, Hiibner. 

 Hagen as karsandra. 



337. Zizera gaika, Trimen. 



The rarest species of the genus occurring in Sumatra as elsewhere. 



338. Zizera otis, Fabricius. 



Snellen as lysizone. Hagen as lysizone. All the three Zizeras fre- 

 quent only open grassy spots, and are found near houses and on fallow 

 land. Z. lysimon, Buhner, is very common in the plains, and is neaidy 

 ubiquitous, especially so on the flowers of a wild species of thorny 

 Spinacia (Amu rant us spinosus, Linnaeus), and on the small yellow flowers 

 of a very common species of Portulaca. Z. gaika, Trimen (named after 

 a Zulu chief, so Mr. Trimen informs me) is found in the same localities, 

 but is very rare ; Dr. Martin took it in his garden at Bindjei. Z. otis is 

 found on the Central Plateau, and near Battak villages in the mountains. 



339. Azanus asialis, de Niceville. 



A. asialis, do Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. x, p. 33, n. 16, pi. S, 

 fig. 22, male (1895). 



Described from a single example caught in the Battak mountains 

 in July, 1894. 



340. Lycenesthes emolus, Godart. 

 Hagen as Pseudodypsas [sic] bengalensis.
