650. *Suastds gremius, Fabricius.

 Burma, but we have not met with it in Sumatra.

Tagiades tripura, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. vi, p. 392, 

 n. 3fi, p l. G, fig. 39, female (1891). 



Originally described from Perak ; occurs also at Selesseh and in 

 the outer hills of Langkat rarely in March and December, and in Java 

 and Pulo Laut. 



652. Suastus phiditia, Hewitson. 



Hewitson. Grose Smith. Kirby. Originally described from 

 Sumatra, where it occurs rarely at Namoe Oekor. 



653. Iambrix stellifer, Butler. 



Grose Smith as salsala. Captain E. Y. Watson notes that "I. stellifer 

 is quite distinct from I. salsala, Moore, with which it has been said to 

 be synonymous. It is smaller and darker, and is entirely without the 

 golden yellow scales on the upperside which are characteristic of 

 J. salsala." It is a common species in the forests of the outer hills 

 throughout the year. It lias a very quick flight, and keeps close to the 

 ground ; being so small it is not easy to see when on the wing. 



654. Iambrix sindu, Felder. 



Hagen. Grose Smith. Found in the same localities and at the 

 same seasons as the last-named butterfly, but is rarer and not so quick 

 on the wing.

 Sumatra, where it is very rare, a few males only having been obtained 

 from Selesseh and the outer hills in July.
