Show 1895.] MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCEENIDEE. 575 spot in the cell of the fore wing below ; this spot, I find, always double as described above, sometimes single, but always distinctly present. LYCENOPSIS, Feld. This genus is very, perhaps too close to Cyaniris, under which name it has been sunk by Mr. Distant. On bleaching the wings of a male the only differences in venation which I can discover are in the hind wing, in which the first median nervule and the subcostal nervule are both longer than in C. argiolus, Linn., being emitted higher up the wing. This character, however, is probably not of much importance. LYCVENOPSIS HARALDUS. Papilio haraldus, Fab. Mant. Ins. vol. ii. p. 82 (1787). Cupido cornuta, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 349, pi. xxxii. fig. 5, 2 Labuan (Low and' Wahnes). Apparently a scarce insect in Borneo, as I have seen three female specimens only-two, including the type of C. cornuta, which does not differ in any way from females from Malacca and Java, in Messrs. Godman and Salvin's collection, and one sent by Dr. Staudinger. ZIZERA, Moore. Zizera is a genus wdiich appears to be very poorly represented in Borneo, and I am able to include only one species here. ZIZERA OTIS. Papilio otis, Fab. Mant. Tns. vol. ii. p. 73 (1787). Zizera lysizone, Distant & Pryer, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. xix. p. 267 (1887). Labuan ( Wahnes and Waterstr.) ; Sandakan (Pryer). Bornean specimens show the same amount of variation on both surfaces as obtains in the species from other localities. LYCEENESTHES, Moore. LYCEENESTHES EMOLUS. Polyommatus emolus, Godt. Enc. Meth. vol. xix. p. 656 (1823). Pseudodipsas bengalensis, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 351. Labuan (Low and Wahnes); S.E. Borneo (Wahnes). LYCEENESTHES LYCEENINA. Lyceenesthes lycamina, Feld. Verh. zool.-bot. Gesellsch. Wien, vol. xviii. p. 281 (1868) ; Distant & Pryer, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. xix. p. 267 (1887). S.E. Borneo ( Wahnes) ; Sandakan (Pryer). W e also possess a specimen, labelled " Borneo," which wras formerly in the Eev. Mr. Murray's collection, and Mr. de Niceville records "it Butt. Ind, etc. p. 130 (1890). |
