Show 1895.] MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCEENIDEE. 599 large spot on the costa; but one of the specimens referred to above has this spot much smaller, whilst the other has the spot and below it the band which is bent inwards just under the spot and becomes partially amalgamated with the 2nd band. It is curious that A. syama should show such great variation in Borneo. In Continental India it varies much in the ground-colour, but I have seen no specimens at all approaching these, neither does Mr. de Niceville mention any. Mr. Herbert Druce did not give A. syama in his list; probably they were received after it was published. APHNEEUS LOHITA. Amblypodia lohita, Horsf. Cat. Lep. E. I. C. p. 106 (1829). Kina Balu and Labuan (Waterstr.). A. lohita does not appear to have been obtained by Low, but Dr. Staudinger has received it in considerable numbers-one large female from Kina Balu measuring 1-^ inch. APHNEEUS VIXINGA. Aphneeus vixinga, Hew. Ent. Mo. Mag. xii. p. 39 (1875). Borneo (Low). This is a large and distinct species known to me only by the type. The ground-colour of the underside is very dark, and the silver spots are quite different from the other two Bornean representatives of the genus. TAJURIA, Moore. All the species here included in this genus have three subcostal nervules in the fore wing and are without any secondary sexual characters. TAJURIA JALINDRA. Amblypodia jedindra, Horsf. Cat. Lep. E. I. C. p. 109 (1829). Sithon jalindra, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 352. Labuan (Low and Waterstr.). TAJURIA MACULATUS. lolaus maculatus, Hew. 111. Diurn. Lep., Lye. p. 47, pi. xxi. figs. 29, 30 (1865). Kina Balu (Waterstr.). T. maculatus is, I believe, recorded here for the first time out of India, where it occurs in Sikkim and Assam. TAJURIA LONGINUS. Hesperia longinus, Fab. Ent. Syst.
