ANCISTROIDES; PADUCA; LOTONGUS. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
fulgur. K. ful^ur Nic. (175 c). Band of forewing above yellow, very broad, from the inner margin to the 
centre of the costal margin where it is cut off by the upper cell-angle, its outer edge being convex, its inner 
edge obliquely inwards and emitting below along the inner margin a long dent towards the base. Hindwing 
with 3 divergent stripes of golden yellow hairs from the base almost to the centre of the wing. From Borneo 
and the Battak Hills in Sumatra. 
58. Genus: Aiic*islroi<les Btlr. 
This genus containing but 2 species is very closely allied to the preceding genus, but differs in the 
third section of the median vein; in the forewing it is % of the length of the second, in the hindwing 
olhonias. A. othonias Hew. (175 c, d), from the Kina Balu in Borneo; the orange-red median band of the 
forewing is here split into 3 separate spots behind which there is yet a fourth diminutive spot. 
lonrjicornis. A. longicornis Btlr. is similar, smaller, with more elongate wings, the 3 spots of the median band 
are narrower; antennae longer, % of the length of the costal margin. From Pulo Laut. 
59. Genus: B*a«I?ica Dist. 
The large lepidoptera of this genus containing but few forms are characterised by the very conspicuous 
scent-organs of the <$. The forewing exhibits above velvety, glossy hair in the shape of a disc, occupying 
a large part of the disc of the fore wing. Beneath there is on the submedian a long dense yellow 7 hair-pencil 
rising from a light, somewhat glossy ground in the submedian area. — According to the larva, the genus would 
be more correctly ranged near Erionota. 
lebadea. P. lebadea Hew. (175 d). Described from Borneo; with broad fringes being white in the forewing, 
golden yellow in the hindwing; in the centre of the hindwing above two median parallel longitudinal folds; 
beneath on the hindwing with a light, posteriorly dark-shaded transverse band which, however, is only 
subfasciata. distinct in the centre, becoming indistinct towards the apex and anal margin. — subfasciata Mr., from Ceylon 
and the Andamans (= andamanica Wood.-31.) exhibits in the $ the folds in the centre of the hindwing above 
less prominent, whilst on the hindwing beneath the transverse band is almost equally distinct from the apex 
glandulosa. to the centre of the anal margin. — In glandulosa Dist. (175 d), from Tonkin, Malacca, Sumatra, Java, and 
Bawean, the band of the hindwing beneath is not quite straight, but somewhat convex towards the base. 
lor ad hi. In the $ of all the forms there are 3 orange hyaline spots in the disc of the forewing. — toradja Fruhst. 
seems to represent lebadea in Celebes, but it has been described, probably justly, as a separate 
species; it exhibits no transverse band whatever on the hindwing beneath, and the hyaline spots of the 
forewing are almost as clear as water, whitish. — Larva snow-white, also the dark head looks as if it were 
powdered with white flour; it lives in rolled halms of Calamus, but not in the stalks. In a rocker of halms 
lies also the pupa which on being disturbed produces a rustling noise by quickly turning itself in the leaf- 
case. The imagines are not common; they seem to me to fly more in the dusk than in the warm sunshine; at 
least I have but once captured a specimen in the daytime, near Kandy. 
60. Genus: JLotongus Dist. 
This genus is already very near to the following Unkana, but it is distinguished by the distal margin 
of the forewing being somewhat longer than the inner margin, the upper discocellular of the forewing being 
but very little longer than the lower one, and the cross-vein being almost straight, not oblique as in Unkana. 
In this genus, however, several old genera are combined to-day, such as Zea Dist., Zampa Nic., and Zela Nic. 
calathus. L. calathus Hew. (= schaedia Here., traviata Plotz ) ( 175 e ) . The colouring of this species being rather 
usual in Hesperidae exhibits 3 whitish hyaline spots in the forewing, the rest of the wing being on both 
sides monotonously blackish-brown; the position of these spots, however, is characteristic, since a large transverse 
spot at the cell-end extends from the anterior to the posterior wall of the cell, whilst a small one is between 
the lower radial branches and a larger oblique one between the median branches. From Sumatra. — In 
parthenope. parthetiope Plotz (175 e), from Mas, the 3 spots are merely dots. — In zalates Mob. (175 d.e), from Java, 
zalates. the hindwing beneath has a broad white margin at its apical portion, and the spots on the fore wing are 
sums, contiguous. — sums 31 ah . does not differ constantly from this species, and the specimens brought by Water- 
mandaiiis. stradt from the Kina-Balu. are not quite alike; from Borneo. — In maculatus Dist. (175 d) the spots of the 
disc in the fore wing above are smaller and separated, but sometimes it shows the white coating of the 
aliena. hindwing beneath as in zalates. Burma and Malacca. —- aliena Stgr., from Palawan, according to Elwes 
and Edwards does not differ essentially from the Malaccan form. — According to Snellen, calathus 
and maculatus may be separate species.
