542 L, de Niceville &Dr. L. Martin — Butterflies of Sumatra. [No. 3, 
Daunat Range in Middle Tenasserim, Burma, and from Java. It is 
very rare in our area, a few specimens only have been obtained in March 
and May on the outer hills. It is probable that the “ Hesperia” traviata 
of Plotz (see No. 756) is a synonym of this species. “ Eudamus ” cala~ 
thus is nowhere mentioned by Plotz, and appears to have been un¬ 
known to him. 
690. Lotongus schjedia, Hewitson. 
L. maculatus, Distant, Rhop. Malay., p. 372, n. 2, pi. xxxv, fig. 1, male (1886). 
Hewitson. Grose Smith as schoedia [sicj. Kirby. Originally des¬ 
cribed from Sumatra. Distant described it from Malacca. I possess 
specimens from Perak in the Malay Peninsula. Th eLotcmgus parthenope, 
Weymer (de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. vii, p. 354, 
n. 22, pi. J, figs. 4, male ; 5, female (1892), is quite distinct from this 
species, still more so from L. calathus, Hewitson. L. schsedia is com¬ 
moner in Sumatra than L. calathus , but is always somewhat scarce, and 
occurs throughout the year from Selesseh to Namoe Oekor and on the 
outer hills. Dr. Martin caught it fairly commonly in February, 1895, on 
the small Dutch island of Riouw near Singapore. 
691. *Lotongus avesta, Hewitson. 
L. avesta, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. ix, p. 383, n. 43, pi. Q, 
fig. 56, female (1895). 
Hewitson. Grose Smith. Kirby. Originally described from 
Sumatra. Mr. H. J. Elwes has specimens from Pulo Laut near Borneo, 
and I have a single female example from the Ataran Valley, Tenasserim, 
Burma. 
692. Lotongus excellent, Staudinger. 
Proteides excellens, Staudinger, Iris, vol. ii, p. 141, pi. ii, fig. 6, male (1889). 
Originally described from Palawan in the Philippine Isles. Su¬ 
perficially it reminds one instantly of Hasora (Parata) chuza, Hewitson. 
It is very rare at high elevations south of Bekantschan, only four 
specimens were obtained in March and August of the last year of Dr. 
Martin’s residence in Sumatra. 
693. Zela zeus, de Niceville. 
Z. zeus, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. ix, p. 388, n. 44, pi. Q, 
fig. 57, male (1895). 
Occurs rarely at Selesseh and in the Battak mountains in May. 
The type is from Pulo Laut near Borneo.
