to the apex, an apical spot and two in the disc purple-brown, as well as a streak behind the cell and the 
margin. Length of the forewing 15 mm. — Mt. Gede, Java; 1 ¥ in the Tring Museum. 
20. Genus: Pompelon Walk. 
Frons convex, not narrowed above. Antenna in cf and ¥ pectinated to the tip, about 2 /s as long 
as the forewing. Apex of the wings broadly rounded; in the forewing the 1. subcostal anastomoses with 
the costal vein, the 3.—5. subcostals are stalked, the 5. placed proximally, the 1. radial from the cell, upper 
angle of the cell widely projecting, upper arm of the discocellular much longer than lower, the 2. and 
3. radials arising near together, the 2. median much more proximal than the 1. subcostal; in the hindwing 
the 2. succostal and the l. and 2. radials near together (or at least not further apart) than the 2. and 3. radials, 
the discocellular not angled or only slightly, the 2. median at. about the same height as the connecting nervure 
(= the 1. subcostal). Black, with blue gloss, a yellow spot in the apex of the cell on the under surface 
of the forewing. — Larva on Cinnamomum, in crawling leaves behind traces of a viscous fluid; reminding 
one of certain Limacodid larvae. Head, prothorax and underside black, otherwise grey-brown, above laterally 
a row of black tubercles, behind the middle on the side a black patch broken up into spots. Cocoon red. 
— Only one Malayan species, distributed as far as Burma. 
P. marginata. Geographically and individually variable. I agree with Snellen's opinion that all 
the forms, though in part very different in appearance, belong to one species, varying in size and colouring; 
I have found no structural difference between these forms. — acrocyanea H.-Sch. (= rotundatum Swinli.) acrocyanea. 
(4b), from Java, has comparatively short, broad wings, and the hindwing above and the underside towards 
the margin is rather pale brown. The apical margin of the forewing is distinctly whitish. Flies early in 
the morning and is commonly taken resting on flowers. — ampliatum Btlr., from Celebes, agrees with the ampliatum. 
next form, but has somewhat broader wings and is on the whole more deeply coloured beneath, the yellow 
spot is large. — As marginata Guer. (— marginator Bruce, cynosura Bruce ) I unite the specimens from marginata. 
Burma, Malacca, Borneo, Palawan and the Philippines. One of our Borneo cfcT has on the underside of 
the forewing traces of 3 yellow spots outside the apex of the cell. Specimens in which the blue is much 
extended above and beneath are ab. subcyanea Swinli. In ab. philippensis Druce, from Mindanao, there is subcyanea. 
a grey spot at the apex of the hindwing, whilst in ab. albocyaneum Semper, likewise from Mindanao (where philippensis. 
marginata Guer. also occurs), the apex of the forewing above and beneath and of the hindwing beneath is alboc y aneum - 
brownish, also the yellow cell-spot is very large. In ab. valentula Swinh., described from Burma, and the valentula. 
much smaller ab. anethussa Bruce (= perakana Swinh.), from Malacca, the margin of the hindwing is grey- anethussa. 
white and the apex of both wings blue. — In North-East Sumatra the species is apparently pretty constant; 
on the upper surface the wings have no blue or only slight traces thereof and the hindwing has beneath 
almost always a broad white-grey margin; this is modesta Bohrn. — In West Sumatra on the other hand modesta. 
is found a form similar to the ab. subcyanea: glenum subsp. nov. (4b); above the forewing is blue as far plenum. 
as the cell, beneath the veins are striped with blue, the margin of the forewing is pale brown, and as in 
the Javan form narrowly white-grey at the apex. 
21. Genus: Ifamjisoiiia Swinh. 
Frons projecting, not narrowed above. Antenna of the ¥ with longer pectinations at the tip than 
in the middle. Wings long, narrow, scales rounded, reminding of Campylotes. The 3.—5. subcostals stalked, 
the 3. placed proximally to the 5., the 1. radial from the cell, upper angle of the cell projecting, disco¬ 
cellular deeply angled, the 2. and 3. radials stalked and curved, marginal cell between the 3. radial and 
the 1. median much broader proximally than distally; hindwing strongly rounded distally, and the anal 
angle very much rounded off; discocellular angled, the lower arm of the angle longer than the upper, hinder 
angle of the cell projecting, the 2. and 3. radials stalked, the 1. subcostal and the 2. median at about the 
same height, the stalk of the 2. and 3. radials placed nearer to the 2. subcostal than to the 1. median. 
One North Indian species. 
H. pulcherrima Swinh. (4c). Body black-green. Forewing black, a band before the middle and pulcherrima. 
stripes at the veins in the distal part grey, semitransparent, 5 yellow spots (1, 2, 1, 1). Hindwing with 
red cell-patch, which is yellow proximally, 4 red discal spots and a yellow hindmarginal patch, cf and ¥ 
alike. — Khasia Hills, Assam. 
22. Genus: Campylotes Westw. 
First tarsal segment in the hindleg shorter than the 4 other segments together. Wings long, scales 
rounded, the distal veins in part very strongly curved; in the forewing the 2.—5. subcostals stalked, the 
1. radial from the cell, relatively far removed from the subcostal stalk, the 2. and 3. radials and 1. median 
stalked together; in the hindwing the cell obliquely truncate anteriorly, the discocellular straight, or angled 
before the 1. radial; the 2. and 3. radials stalked. — These bizarre insects are only found in China and
