 Mergui, differing sUghtly from Indian specimens, the discal white 



pateh on the forewing below conspicuous. The genus is ound every- 

 where from the Himalayas to Amboyna (occurring m all the islands 

 east of Java), and the species, if there are more than one, are very hard 

 to make out. They live in the drier districts only, the larva apparently 

 feeding on acacias. 



96. Taraka hamada, Druce. 



Myitta. I have also taken it in Eastern Java at 4-5000 feet 

 elevation. 



Subfamily GERTDIN^. 

 Genus Malais, nov. 

 DiHers from Logania in the short, thick, slightly flattened legs, the 

 tibite being thickest in the middle. 



97. Malais seiwa. Distant. 



One female (Mergui) is obviously of this species. It is possibly 

 distinct from L. marmorata, Moore, but the bad state of the types of 

 that species makes its difficult to decide. I postpone a fuller descrip- 

 tion of the genus. . . 



Of this genus another species occurs at Bassein, Burma ; it is one 

 of the smallest and obscurest of Indian butterflies. Logama malayica 

 seems rare in the Malay Peninsula (where a number of alhed forms 

 occur) but it is rather common in South-Eastern Borneo. The genus 

 is also represented in the Celebes. Logama andersonii, Moore, from 

 Mergui, which is probably the HypolyccBua lihna of Hewitson, iS 

 apparently not related to the Gerydhm, though the wretched state of 

 the sole type makes it difficult to say where it does belong. The 

 venation is extraordinary. There are only three subcostal branches 

 raccording to Mr. de Nic6ville's phraseology two nervules besides the 

 nervure), the first of which is united with the costal vein for a very 



short distance. . n-^„„i. 



98. Allotinus nivalis, Druce, {Faragerydm nivalis, Distant, 



Loqania suhstrigosa, Moore). 



This species must be placed in Allotinus, the third subcostal branch 

 being emitted immediately before the end of the cell, leaving a short 

 but distinct upper disoocellular vein, as required by Felder s defimtion 

 of the genus.
