Mindanao and excels palawana in size. — samosata Fruhst. from the Island of Cebu is above lighter than palawana, samosata. 
and as a resemblance to marmorata and cineraria, there appears also on the hindwings again a bluish-grey tint. 
L. massalia, a rare species, although it occurs in the whole of Macromalayana; Martin discovered 
it in Sumatra; I found it in East and West Java and was able to ascertain it for North Borneo from the 
material of my collection. It will certainly be sooner or later discovered on the Philippines, too. massalia Doh. massalia. 
(141 f) was described according to a $, as follows: Above black, with a dull white discal zone of the forewing, 
extending somewhat beyond the anterior median and as far as the submedian. Under surface irregularly speckled. 
Forewings with ochreous-brown apical and costal parts. Hindwings also ochreous-coloured with a submarginal 
dark patch and dark transverse bands. Hindwings not angled, entire. Margherita, Upper Assam, Shillong, 
Tenasserim. Five geographical forms: nada Fruhst. differs from the Assam-specimens by a larger white discal nada. 
spot of the forewing the submedian zone of which is likewise dusted with grey. Under surface grey with yellowish 
and blackish patches. North East Sumatra. — sora subsp. nov. means a retrogression to the continental massalia. sora. 
The white-blue part of the forewing much more narrowed than in nada. Under surface darker, with a pre¬ 
dominantly brown instead of blackish speckling. North Borneo. -—- munychia Fruhst. Upper surface with a munychia. 
nearly circular, white discal spot which is still more stunted than in sora from Borneo. Under surface pre¬ 
ponderate^ brown with a slight, blackish dusting. I myself only collected 4 $$ in the surroundings of Sukabumi, 
West Java. The $ of it was found by Dr. Peepers in copula with a <$, near the Wynkoops Bay (West Java). 
It has a large, discal, white spot extending to the inner margin and beginning beyond the cell. The white spot 
is repeated beneath. The ground-colour of the under surface is yellowish about as in Gerydus symethus megaris 
(141 d). The distribution of markings beneath about as in Gerydus higgsi Doh. (141 d) — glypha Fruhst. glypha. 
originates from East Java. Upper surface with an extraordinarily narrow, whitish, oblique discal spot. 
Under surface lighter brown than munychia with still less black scaling than munychia. Sorroundings of Lawang, 
only 1 $ in Coll. Fruhstorfer. In close alliance to L. massalia presumably belongs also a Logania observed 
by Doherty in Sumbawa. 
L. drucei Mmdet- Is an excellent species, discovered by its author in the Matang Straits near Kuching drueei. 
in Sarawak, in February 1911. above similar to L. massalia (141 f); contours of the wings, however, more 
roundish. The nearly round discal spot smaller, peripherically bordered with light blue. Under surface mono¬ 
tonously light red-brown, with an insignificant grey scaling of the basal zone of the forewing. There is no blackish, 
yellowish or white marbling as it is in massalia and marmorata, and the longitudinal bands are entirely faded. 
$ with a more extensive, light-blue median spot of the forewing. On the forewings we notice a slight, leaden- 
grey hue. In the Coll. Frithstorfer there is a found by Dr. Martin in March 1900 near Sintang on the 
Capuas River. 
L. turdeta sp. nov. is a species confounded by Semper with L. distanti Semp. £ above very similar iurdeta. 
to L. massalia, marmorata, throughout milky white, apex of the forewing broadly encircled by black. Hindwings 
bordered with brownish. Beneath of a peculiar, yellow grey with brown macular series. Island of Cebu. 
L. distanti Semp. q above unicolorously blackish-brown. $ similarly marked to marmorata, with distanti. 
the costal margin of the hindwing being blackish-brown as for as the costal vein. $ with entire, 2 with sharply 
dentate hindwings. Flying time October. Island of Cebu. — apsines Fruhst. is a gigantic, geographical race apsines. 
of it from the Island of Mindanao, of an almost twice as large habitus compared with distanti Semp>. It is, 
moreover, probable that distanti belongs to a dry period form, apsines, however, to the generation of the 
rainy period (January). — donussa Fruhst. Wings narrow, similar to those of distanti Semp., but longer, just donussa. 
as large as in apsines Fruhst., but more stretched. Upper surface uniformly light brown. Hindwings with 
broad, white fringes, sharply dentate. Under surface with a greyish-white ground and tangled, dark-brown 
scaling. Costal margin of the forewing brown with white streaks. In the distal area of both wings, the brown 
scales are arranged into two feeble bands with crescentiform components. Terminal margin sharply defined, 
narrow, red-brown. Cilia yellowish-white. Patria: South Celebes, at an elevation of about 1500 m on the Peak 
of Bonthain, wdiere I collected it in March. 
L. obscura Rob., described as Allotinus, is the giant of the genus and to such an extent allotiniform, obscura. 
that I myself also first took it to be an Allotinus. Upper surface blackish-brown. $ with an almost square, 
white discal spot. Under surface of the forewing dark grey with a fine, yellowish white speckling increasing 
towards the apex. Hindwings yellowish white, as if dotted in black. Tombugu, East Celebes. 
L. hampsoni Fruhst. $ above black with an extensive milky-white basal zone of the forewing. Under hampsoni. 
surface the most closely allied to L. massalia Doh., whitish with dense brown spotting. In the $ the brown 
dotting is united to 3 macular rows contrasting at the same time with the somewhat lighter ground. Patria: 
North East British New Guinea, Kumussi River. The genus and species are a novelty for New Guinea, from 
where we may expect yet quite a number of species from all the different colonial districts. Denominated 
according to Hampson in order to express my gratitude for his generosity in making the rich treasures of the 
British Museum in London at any time accessible to me.
