if. hieron , de Niceville, Journ. A. S. B., vol. Ixiii, pt. 2, p. 54, n. 45, pi. iv, fig. 1 , 
male (1894). 
Hitherto only recorded from N.-E. Sumatra, where it occurs only 
at high elevations not below 3,000 feet to the south of Bekantschan. 
In suitable localities it is not rare, we have specimens taken in Feb¬ 
ruary, April and August. 
721. * Halpe beturia, Hewitson. 
Snellen. Captain Watson states that H. beturia is confined to 
Celebes, and he described the Indian, Burmese, and Andamanese form 
as H. moorei. It is probable that the Sumatran species should be known 
by the latter name. We did not obtain it. 
722. * Halpe marsena, Hewitson. 
Hewitson. Grose Smith. Kirby. Originally described from 
Sumatra. It is very close to, if not identical with, “ Hesperia ” ornata , 
Felder, described from Java, but occurring also in Cachar, vide Wood- 
Mason and de Niceville, Journ. A. S. B., vol. lv, pt. ii, p. 382, n. 214, 
pi. xviii, figs, 7, 7a, male (1886). Hewitson’s name has priority by one 
year.
