1895.] L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin — Butterflies of Sumatra. 473 



439. Camena cippus, Pabricius. 



I have caught this species at Selesseh in October, but it is very 

 rare in Sumatra, as Dr. Martin possesses only one other specimen taken 

 in July also near Selesseh. 



440. Camena cotys, Hewitson. 



Originally described from Nepal. It is very rare in Sumatra, I 

 possess two males only. Probably often overlooked owing to its strong 

 superficial likeness to the more common Dacalana vidura, Korsfield. 



441. Camena cretheds, de Niceville. 



C. cretheus, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. ix, p. 294, n. 24, 

 pi. P, fig. 35, mule (1895) ; idem, id., 1. c, vol. x, p. , n. 24, pi. T, fig. 35, 

 female (1896). 



Very rare, occurs in the Battik Mountains of Sumatra in March, 

 and in Western Java. Easily recognised by the base of the costa of 

 the fore wing on the underside being yellow. 



442. Aphnveus lohita, Horsfield. 



Grose Smith. A common specie.?, spread over the whole of our 

 area with the exception of the Central Plateau ; the males on roads, on 

 the margins of forest, and also on grassy places ; females somewhat 

 scarcer. They are very fond of executing the rubbing and revolving 

 movements of the hind wings observed in many of the Lycsenidse. 



443. *Aphn^us syama, Horsfield. 



Staudinger. As this species occurs in the Malay Peninsula and in 

 Java, it is almost certainly found also in the intervening island of 

 Sumatra, though we have never met with it. 



444. *Aphn^:us vulcanus, Fabricius. 



Hagen. Occurs commonly in Java, and is almost certainly to be 

 found in the south-east of Sumatra, which is only separated from Java 

 by a narrow and shallow strait. 



445. Aphnjjus hiendlmayrii, de Niceville. 



A. hiendlmayrii, de Niceville, Journ. A. S. B , vol. lxiii, pt. 2, p. 38, n. 33, pi. v, 

 fig. 5, female (1894). 



Very rare, only three female specimens have been obtained in 

 March and August at Selesseh. The male still remains to be dis- 

 covered.
