454 L. de NicAville & Dr. L. Martin —Butterflies of Sumatra. [No. 3, 
G. carna , de Nic^ville, and. G. melsena, Doherty, are very rare, whilst 
the four remaining species are very common and brought in by the col¬ 
lectors in'large numbers. The males only are caught on wet spots on 
roads and on the sandy banks of small hill streams ; the very scarce- 
females can only be taken in the forest, where they are looking for and 
ovipositing on the food-plants of the larvte, or feeding on the flowers of 
certain Compositse. 
335. *Cyaniris haraldus, Fabricius. 
Grose Smith as Lycsenopsis ananga. Distant. Butler. Kirby ns 
haraldus and ananga. I have never seen this very rare species. Its 
record from Sumatra is probably correct, so striking a butterfly is not 
likely to have been wrongly identified. The Lycsenopsis ananga of Felder 
is a synonym of 0. haraldus. I think it probable that the genus Lycse - 
uapsis is valid, at any rate the type species is a very different-looking 
animal to all the species of Gyaniris known to me. 
336. Zizera lysimon, Hubner. 
Hagen as harsandra. 
337. Zizera gaiea, Trimen. 
The rarest species of the genus occurring in Sumatra as elsewhere. 
338. Zizera otis, Fabricius. 
Snellen as lysizone. Hagen as lysizone. All the three Zizeras fre¬ 
quent only open grassy spots, and are found near houses and on fallow 
land. Z. lysimon , Hubner, is very common in the plains, and is nearly 
ubiquitous, especially so on the flowers of a wild species of thorny 
Spinacia (Amarantus spmosus, Linnaeus), and on the small yellow flowers 
of a very common species of Portulaca. Z. gaifta, Trimen (named after 
a Zulu chief, so Mr. Trimen informs me) is found in the same localities, 
but is very rare ; Dr. Martin took it in his garden at Bindjei. Z. otis is 
found on the Central Plateau, and near Battak villages in the mountains. 
339. Azanus asialis, de Niceville. 
A. asialis, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soe., vol. x, p. 33, n. 15, pi. S, 
tig. 22, male (1895). 
Described from a single example caught in the Battak mountains 
in July, 1894.

340. Lycuenesthes emolus, Godart.
