Show 1895.] MR. H. H. DRUCE O N BORNEAN LYOENIDJE. 563 PARAGERYDUS TARAS. Paragerydus taras, Doherty, J. A. S. B. vol. lviii. pt. 2, p. 437, t. xxiii. fig. 10(1889). S.E. Borneo (north of Banjarmasin) ( Wahnes). I have received a specimen which agrees well with Mr. Doherty's description and figure, excepting that it has a faint indication of a pale spot on the disc of the fore wing above. PARAGERYDUS CAUDATUS. (Plate XXXI. figs. 7 d, 8 $ •) Allotinus caudatus, Grose Smith, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. xii. p. 34 (1893). d • Upperside dull brown; the discal streak on the fore wing elongated and inconspicuous, much like P. waterstradti, which it closely resembles on the upperside in coloration and shape of both wings. Underside as female, but ground-colour tinged with brown and rather more heavily marked. Expanse, ^ ] ^ , $ If inch. Kina Balu (Waterstr.). I have compared the female with Mr. Grose Smith's type and find them identical; it is remarkable for the shape of the hind wing, the third median nervule being produced so as to form a blunt tail, and in this respect differs from all others in the genus. In neuration it appears to be a typical Paragerydus. PARAGERYDUS FABIUS. Paragerydus fabius, Distant & Pryer, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol xix. p. 266, $ (1887). Sandakan (Pryer). This species is known to me only by the description ; quite possibly it is the same as the preceding (P. caudatus), but Mr. Distant does not describe a projecting third median nervule in the hind wing, which is such a distinctive character in that species. PARAGERYDUS APHOCHA. Allotinus aphocha, Kheil, Rhop. Ius. Nias, p. 28, pi. v. fig. (1884). Labuau (Wahnes). One specimen, a male, which is identical with several males from Nias Islands. The outer margin of the hind wing is always strongly dentate. It appears to differ from P. horsfieldi by its much smaller size and by the pale ground-colour below, and by the comparatively small discal spot above. ALLOTINUS, Feld. ALLOTINUS SUBVIOLACEUS. Allotinus subviolaceus, Feld. Reise Nov., Lep. ii. p. 286, t. 35. figs. 27, 28 (1865). Kina Balu ( Waterstr.). 36* |
