Show 672 MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCENID^E. [June 16, ARHOPALA APIDANUS, Cr. Banguey L, N. Borneo (Waterstr.). Waterstradt has also sent this species from the Island of Balabac. ARHOPALA PARQUHARI, Distant. Kina Balu ( Waterstr.). ACESINA, Moore. Dr Staudinger has sent me a single specimen of this genus Kina Balu, which is in poor condition, and which I am unable to refer to any named species with certainty. On the upperside it is much like the figure given by Mr. Elwes of A. ariel, Doherty , in P. Z. S. 1892, pl. xliv. fig. 9, but on the underside appears quite different. CURETIS, Hiibn. CURETIS TAGALICA, Feld. Banguey I. (Waterstr.). . The specimen obtained from this island is more like the typical specimens than those from the mainland. CURETIS .ESOPUS, Fab. Labuan (Wahnes); Sarawak (Platen). I have received specimens of this form in which the basal brown area on the hind wing has entirely disappeared. CURETIS INSULARIS, Horsf. Phaedra Insularis, Horsf. Cat. Lep. E. I. C. p. 125 (1829). Kina Balu ( Waterstr.). Dr. Staudinger has sent a male whieh agrees exactly with Javan specimens in our collection. yv\. r-u- Ju. fkoT, C. Insularis appears to be a smaller and slighter built insect than its congeners. PRATAPA, Moore. PRATAPA CALOULIS, H. H. Druce. Possiblv this is the same as Camena cretheus, de Nicev. Journ. Bomb Nat. Hist. Soc. vol. ix. p. 294, pl. P. fig. 35 (1895), but the linear band on the fore wing below appears much more bent outwards than in P. calculls; but there appear to be no otner differences. TAJURIA, Moore. TAJURIA JALINDRA, Horsf. Waterstradt has obtained both sexes of this insect from Kina Balu, and I find that the blue area of the typical Javan form or female is replaced by a smaUer white area crossed by brown veins, 1 A. ariel, Doh. J. A. S. B. Ix. pt. 2, p. 33 (1891). |
