Show 680 MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCJENID.E. [June 16 the orange fascia on the fore wing being more extensive and reaching along the outer half of the inner margin. On the underside all the bands on the hind wing are deep black, not partly composed of black lines enclosing white areas as in M. boisduvali. 2 . Upperside has the orange fascia somewhat less extensive than in that sex of M. boisduvali. Underside as male. Sandakan (Wldmer), Mus. Druce; Sapagaya (Cator). Mr. D. Cator took this insect in some plenty in June and in August and September. It is interesting to be able to record the species from Borneo, as it appears to have been overlooked until now. Biduanda Imliata, mihi (P. Z. S. 1895, p. 617), is much like this form on the upperside, but on the underside agrees with M. boisduvali. EOOXYLIDES, de Nicev. EOOXYLIDES ETIAS, Distant & Pryer. (Plate X X X I . fig. 12, o*.) Kina Balu (Waterstr.) ; Tandjong, Sandakan (Cator). Dr. Staudinger has sent m e both sexes, which agree well with the description and which are strictly congeneric with E. tharis, Hiibn. It is quite a distinct species. Mr. Cator captured it in April. D R I N A , de Nicev. D R I N A NINODA, H . H . Druce. (Plate X X X I . fig. 7, 2 0 5 . Upperside : fore wing uniform dark brown: hind wing- basal and median areas aud apex dark brown, a pale spot on the costal margin beyond the middle, and immediately below it a pure white one; anal area broadly pure white, with an anteciliary brown line, dusted along its centre with a few brown scales, and bearing on if, between the lower median nervule and the sub-median nervure, a dark brown snot: cilia of fore wing brown, of hind wing white; tail white. Underside as male, but with the bands slightly more prominent. Expanse ly9^- inch. Sapagaya. Type Mus. Cator. At first sight I thought this insect represented a new and distinct species, which opinion was strengthened by the fact that the sexes of B. donlna, Hew., are stated to be very nearly alike l, but. an examination of the underside convinces m e that this is the female of B. ninoda. Mr. Cator captured a single specimen only. LEHERA, JVloore. L E H E R A ANNA, H . H . Druce. (Plate X X X I . fig. 8, 2 0 Lehera anna, H . H . Druce, Ent. M . Mag. ser. 2, vol, *ii. p. 78 (1894).
