L. masana sp. nov. Above unicolorously blackish-brown, beneath brownish-grey with densely 
arranged, dark, brown maculae. The distal margin sharply defined as in L. hampsoni, of a dark red-brown 
colouring. German New-Guinea, type in the Coll. Staudinger of the Berlin Museum. 
L. nehalemia Fruhst. Somewhat allied to L. regina Druce. $: forewing with a black costal and distal 
margin, otherwise entirely white. Hindwings white only as far as the cell-end, otherwise with an extensive 
black marginal area covering the whole distal halves of the wings. Under surface white. Forewings sparsely, 
hindwings densely dotted in a red brown. New Guinea, type in the British Museum, originating yet from 
Hewitson’s collection. 
2. Genus: Allot inns Fldr. 
This multiform genus differs from Logania by its longer legs the tibiae of which are never thickened. 
The second subcostal vein is placed nearer to the cell-apex, the subcostal veins are generally placed more oblicprely, 
the cell is a little longer and narrower. In contrast with Logania , the sexual dimorphism is most remarkably 
noticeable in most of the species by the modification of the shape of the wings and colorial contrasts. 
Allotinus is easily distinguishable from Gerydus by the normal tarsi. The under surface is always 
speckled, but it never exhibits bands being bordered by brown, black, white or some other colour. Under surface 
of the forewing without any black spotting. -—- In the clasping-organs, except the more slender shape, there 
is not any difference to be mentioned compared with Gerydus. 
Like the Logania , the Allotinus inhabit the plains, although some species go up as far as about 1200 m. 
In Tenasserim I found yet one of the largest of the well-known species at this altitude. The range coincides 
with that of the Logania, though no representative of the genus was hitherto ascertained from New Guinea. 
Borneo is again at the head with 14 species, and on the continent we find Allotinus distributed towards the 
west as far as Sikkim. 
Two groups of species: 
a) Allotinus Fldr. $ without any sexual striping or without a thickened anterior median. Type: 
A. fallax Fldr. 
b) Paragerydus List. Forewing with a thickened median and mostly two stripes of modified 
scales, running parallel to it. Type: P. horsfieldi Moore. 
a) Group of species Allotinus. 
A. subviolaceus. Most extensively distributed across the Macromalayan district and the Southern 
Philippines, everywhere rare. By a peculiar, dull light blue area of the forewings, subviolaceus is the most easily 
discernible species of the genus. — subviolaceus Fldr., originally described from Java, where it is so rare that 
but 1 <$ of it is yet before me from the east of the island. The bluish-grey scaling of both wings is somewhat 
lighter than in alkamah Dist. (141 g) from the Malayan Peninsula, North East Sumatra and Penang. The $ 
has more roundish wing-contours than the <$ and shows an insignificant discal, greyish-blue tinge of the upper 
surface of the hindwing. — manychus Fruhst. Larger than Perak specimens. Hindwings whitish instead of 
bluish-grey as in alkamah. Under surface lighter brownish-grey, manychus makes quite the impression of a 
produce of districts with an intense and long dry period. Pegu, Burma, Karen Hills, presumably also from 
the Mergui Archipelago. — silarus subsp. nov. likewise excels alkamah in size. The hindwings of the <$<$ exhibit 
a more extensive blue, though blackish dimmed tinge, and the undersurface is considerably darker. Described 
according to 4 specimens from the north and two from the south of Borneo. Closely allied to silarus are presu¬ 
mably also specimens from Palawan. -— kallikrates Fruhst. <$ the nearest to <$<$ of the Borneo-race of subviola¬ 
ceus, which is darker and of a more imposing habitus than alkamah- specimens from Sumatra, but the blue¬ 
scaling of the cell of the forewing is increased. $ more extensively scaled in blue on a lighter ground. Under 
surface likewise lighter. Staudinger obtained it and stated the habitat to be ,,Mindanao”; whether the patria 
is correct or not rather ,,Palawan”, since Semper mentions subviolaceus only from Palawan? — mirus Eecke 
from Sinabang in Simalus, is conspicuous for the blue brightening of the upper surface of the hindwing exhibiting 
a $-like distribution of colours, the sharply defined, brown distal margin and the more pronounced irroration 
of the under surface. The sexual organs analogous to those of A. fallax, without the dorsal depression of the 
uncus and differing thereby from all the species of Paragerydus. The ventral, unciform mountings in the 
ventral part of the uncus neither exhibit any thickening at the place, where their tips bend round proximally. 
Valve stunted smaller, narrower, plainer than even in the smallest Paragerydus. 
A. fallax, conspicuous for the far extending dimorphism of the sexes, reaches the climax of its development 
in the Philippines and inhabits Chaeturia, i. e. the subregion of the Philippines and Celebes. An off-branch 
passes over to the north of Borneo. The has pointed forewings and but feebly dentate hindwings. The
