1. Since writing the above I have received Dr. Chapman’s interesting paper 
‘*On Zizeeria, a group of Lycaenid Butterflies ’’ published in the Transactions 
of the Entomological Society of London (1910, pp. 479-497). He points out that 
the name otis, Fab. has been used for two species viz: indica, Murray and 
_ labradus, Godt. with its vars. sangra, Moore, and dryina, Chapman. And rof 
these species he proposes the generic (or sub-generic name of Zizina). Dr. 
Chapman points out ‘‘the Fabrician description also rather favours sangra 
_than. wdica,’’ and the Sarawak examples agree well in markings with the 
example of labradus var. sangra as figured by Dr. Chapman (J. c. Pl. LII. fig. 
5), so I prefer to retain. the older name ofis until further. evidence is brought 
forward for dropping it.
