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



Daunat Eange in Middle Tenasserim, Burma, and from Java. It is 

 very rare in our area, a few specimens only have been obtained in March 

 anrl May on the outer hills. It is j3vobable that the " Hesperia" traviata 

 of Plotz (see No. 756) is a synonym of this species. " Eudamus " cola' 

 thus is nowhere mentioned by Plotz, and appears to have been un- 

 known to him. 



690. Lotongtts" sch^jdia, Hewitson. 



L. maculatus, Distant, Rhop. Malay., p. 372, d. 2, pi. xxxv, fig. 1, male (1886). 



Hewitson. Grose Smith as schoedia [sic]. Kirby. Originally des- 

 cvihed from Sumatra. Distant described it from Malacca. I possess 

 specimens from Perak in the Malay Peninsula. The Lotungus partlienope, 

 Weymer (de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. vii, p. 354 r 

 n. 22, pi. J, figs. 4, male; 5, female (1892;, is quite distinct from this 

 species, still more so from L. calathus, Hewitson. L. sclisedia is com- 

 moner in Sumatra than L. calathus, but is always somewhat scarce, and 

 occurs throughout the year from Selesseh to Namoe Oekor and on the 

 outer hills. Dr. Martin caught it fairly commonly in February, 1895, on 

 the small Dutch island of Riouw near Singapore. 



691. *Lotongos avesta, Hewitson. 



L. avesta, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. ix, p. 383, n. 43, pi. Q, 

 fig. 56, female (1895). 



Hewitson. Grose Smith. Kirby. Originally described from 

 Sumatra. Mr. H. J. Elwes has specimens from Pulo Laut near Borneo, 

 and 1 have a single female example from the Ataran Valley, Tenasserim, 

 Burma. 



692. Lotoxgcs excrllens, Staudinger. 



Proteides excellcns, Staudinger, Iris, vol. ii, p. 141, pi. ii, fig. 6, male (1889). 



Originally described from Palawan in the Philippine Isles. Su- 

 perficially it reminds one Distantly of Ilasora (Parata) chuza } Hewitson. 

 It is very rare at high elevations south of Bekantschan, only four 

 specimens were obtained in March and August of the last year of Dr. 

 Martin's residence iu Sumatra.

Occurs rarely at Selesseh and in the Battak mountains in May. 

 The type is from Pulo Laut near Borneo.
