FASCICULI MALATENSES 
‘ We did not take this species on our first visit to Bukit Besar, in April 
and May, but it was very common in the jungle round our clearing (2,500 
feet) in August and September. Lower down the mountain it became scarcer, 
and we did not see it much below a thousand feet. It would appear to be 
essentially a jungle species, and its absence from, or comparative rarity on, 
the lower slopes may not be entirely due to inferior altitude, but also to the fact 
that large clearings have at one time existed on them. 
Peridrome orbicularis rests during the day below the large leaves of the 
gingerworts and other plants of similar growth, whence it issues forth towards 
dusk ; the readiness with which it is disturbed and its strength on the wing 
causing it falsely to appear to be a diurnal species.’

‘ On Bukit Besar this species closely resembles Peridrome orbicularis in 
habits and distribution, as it does in appearance. One male was taken on the 
wing in bright moonlight, at the edge of our little clearing.’
