Show 1895.] MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCEENIDEE. 585 from that sex of L. aratus. It may perhaps be distinguished that species by its female, which has tbe brown outer margin much broader and the hind wing brown with bluish scales and hairs at the base. The females were referred by Mr. Herbert Druce (P. Z. S. 1873, p. 348) to L. aratus. The P. (=L.) snelleni, var. batjanensis, Eober (' Iris,' i. p. 55, pi. iv. fig. 109), is contained in Messrs. Godman and Salvin's collection, and is identical on both surfaces with the females of L. adana1. THYSONOTIS, Hiibn. THYSONOTIS SCHAEFFERA. Lyccena schaeffera, Escb. Kotzeb.

It is doubtless, as he states, allied to L. amphissa, Feld., but has nothing to do with L. batjanensis. 2 Unfortunately the figures of the neuration of this genus given by m e on plate xlvii. P. Z. S. 1893 are useless, having been incorrectly drawn from the bleached wings by the artist; the first subcostal nervule has been omitted and the costal nervure drawn much too long, its extremity as shown being really part of the first subcostal. |
