Show 564 MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYC^ENID^E. [June 18, The male agrees well with Felder's figure. The differences which separate A. alkamah, Distant, from this species, appear to be exceedingly slight; indeed males before m e from Malacca and Kina Balu are identical, whilst one Bornean female has nearly the whole of the hind wing dusted with bluish scales. Mr. de Niceville records A. alkamah from Borneo (Butt. Ind. iii. p. 30). ALLOTINUS AUDAX, sp. n. (Plate XXXI. figs. 11 d, 12 $ .) Miletus audax, Staud. M S . d • Upperside allied to A. subviolaceus, Feld., but with the blue discal band replaced by a narrower creamy-white band; hind wing blackish brown, slightly paler on the disc. Underside much as iu A. subviolaceus, but the ground paler and the spots and striae standing out more distinctly. 2 . Upperside as A. subviolaceus 2 * but the blue areas replaced by clear creamy white ; underside as male, but spots aud striae rather paler. Kina Balu ( Waterstr.). Mus. Staud. and Druce. ALLOTINUS NIVALIS. Miletus nivalis, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 348. Sandakan (Pryer); Kina Balu (Waterstr.) ; Labuan (Loiv) ; S.E Borneo (Doherty). The L. (-A.) substrigosa, Moore, may be a distinct species, as tbe type and all other specimens I have examined from Borneo have the black spot on the costa of the hind wing below replaced by a pale brown one; this, however, is the only difference I can detect between these specimens and three in our collection from the Tenasserim Valley (Doherty), in all of which the black spot is very distinct. ALLOTINUS UNICOLOR. Allotinus unicolor, Feld. Reise Nov., Lep. ii. p. 286 (1865); Distant & Pryer, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. xix. p. 266 (1887). Sandakan (Pryer). A. unicolor is included here on the authority of Messrs. Distant and Pryer. I do not know the species. LOGANIA, Distant. LOGANIA REGINA. Miletus regina, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 348, pi. xxxii. fig. 4. Labuan (Low) ; Sandakan (Pryer). This species, which together with L. lahomius, Kheil, is a true Logania, is closely allied to L. sriiva, Distant, from which it principally differs by the inner marginal area of the fore wiug below being white ; in L. sriiva it is blackish brown. The type, a male, is now in Messrs. Godman and Salvin's collection. |
