BlDUANDA ESTELLA, Var. Sithon estella, Hew. 111. Diurn. Lep., Lye. p. 31, pi. xvi. figs. 50, 51 (1863). Kina Balu Mts. ( Waterstr.). Dr. Staudinger has sent m e a pair (cf $ ) which agree well with Hewitson's types from Sumatra, but are somewhat larger. It is distinguished at once from B. thesmia by the broken band on the fore wing below. The specimens referred to Sithon estella by Mr. Herbert Druce (P. Z. S. 1873, p. 352) are B. unicolor described above. BIDUANDA THEENIA, sp. n. (Plate XXXIV. fig. 2 $ .) 2 . Upperside dull brown ; fore wing crossed about the middle with an oblique, whitish, indistinctly bordered band reaching from the subcostal nervure, where it is narrowest, nearly to the sub-median nervure. Hind wing narrowly whitish along the costal margin ; three blackish spots at the anal angle between the tails. Underside white, wdth spots and markings arranged as in Hewitson's figure of B. theda; but the spots in the cell of the fore wdng are reduced to mere dots, and the markings on the hind wing are linear excepting those near the base. Expanse 1^ inch. Sandakan (Pryer). Mus. G. & S. The type specimen is unique. When the male is found it will probably be much like that sex of B. theda, Hew., and B. thesmia, Hew. It can be distinguished from B. theda by the linear markings on the hind wings below, and the much less distinct whitish band on the fore wing above. BlDUANDA CINESIA. Myrina cinesia, Hew. 111. Diurn. Lep., Lye. p. 29, pi. xiii. figs. 18, 19 (1863). 2 • Upperside dull blackish bi own ; fore wing slightly tiuged wdth cupreous towards the centre ; hind wing darker towards anal angle, and with a broad, distinct, waving white band not crossed by dark nervules, margin dusted with white between the tails. Tails equal in length to those of male. Underside as in male. Expanse If inch. (Hew. fig. cf 1-[V incn-) Sarawak (Hew.) ; Elopura (Pryer) ; Kina Balu (Waterstr.). Hewitson's figure of the female undoubtedly represents another species, as, besides being smaller and having the central tail considerably longer than in B. cinesia, it presents other differences which I have described below. Mr. Pryer took this species in March. Dr. Staudinger has received both sexes from Kina Balu, the |
