If suhslrigosa be distinct from nivalis, my specimens from Mergui 

 and Myitta must be called by that name. But I believe that the two 

 are merely extreme forms of a single species, in which the size and 

 distinctness of the markings of the underside vary greatly. It is a 

 common species from Tavoy to South-Eastern Borneo, and obviously 

 mimics Neopitliecops zalniom, Butler, from which it is indistinguishable 

 when flying. 



99. Allotinus alkamah, Distant, 



This species i-epresents the Javanese A. subviolaceus, Felder, from 

 Mergui to South-Eastern Borneo. The sexes are much alike. In my 

 Tenassorim females the disc of the hindwing is largely covered with 

 bluish scales. 



In some specimens of AlloHnus drumila the third subcostal originates 

 slightly before the end of the cell, leaving the upper discocellular very 

 distinct, while in others it originates after the end of the cell and 

 there is no upper discocellular just as in Parage njdus taras. It is also 

 remarkable for the very irregular outline of the wings. This feature 

 is lacking in Allotinus multistrigahis, in which the subcostal originates 

 opposite the end of the cell, the upper discocellular being therefore 

 minute. 



100. Pakagertdtjs iioesfieldii, Moore, (Allotinus aphodia, Kheil). 

 This is the commonest of the Gerydinm from the Chittagong Hill 



Tracts to South-Eastern Borneo, found in great numbers wherever 

 there is deep shade. I am inclined to think that this species (and not 

 faras with its conspicuous reddish apex and margin) is the Allotinus mii- 

 color of Felder, but without examining the types of that species it is 

 impossible to decide. 



The cell in this species ends halfway* between the bases of the se- 

 cond and third subcostals, which in the male are approximate. On 

 this character the genus Paragerydiis has been formed, but it is impro- 

 bable that it can be retained distinct from Allotinus. The following 

 species seems to be structurally halfway between the two.

Above, dark brown, deepest apically on the forewing, lacking both 

 the elongate discal brand of the male, and the pale discal area of the 

 female of P. horsfieldii. Below the ground is creamy whitish (dull bluish 

 grey in P. horsfieldii, the stria? less numerous, especially discally and 

 basally, and less evenly distributed ; the apex of the forewing is widely 

 tinged with rufous brown, the cilia rather long and also rufous brown ; 

 a rufous brown marginal line ; the transverse macular discal band is 



* In the femalo. In some males it nearer tlie baso of the sooond.
