Show 584 MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCEENIDEE. [June 18, 2. Upperside much like that sex of L. cleodus, but outer margin of fore wing generally broader brown and always without the white lunules towards the outer angle. On the hind wing the marginal spot in the first median interspace is often distinctly crowned wdth orange. Underside as male. Expanse d 1|-1T 7TJ inch, $ If-!^ incn- Kina Balu (Waterstr.)', Labuan (Low); Sarawak (Everett). This is a puzzling species, and may perhaps hereafter be found to be a form of L. celeno, but the shining surface of the male and the unusual orange patch on the upperside which is often present in the female, markedly so in specimens from Kina Balu, seem to distinguish it. Several males from Labuan have the cilia only of the fore wing black, on the upperside. LAMPIDES LIVIDUS, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 20 o*-) c?. Upperside uniform pale shining blue, with a decided pinkish tinge ; cilia pale brownish. Underside pale greyish brown, with much broken, narrow white bands, arranged somewhat as in L. osias. Fore wing: a white band closing the end of tbe cell and another beyond it, commencing below the upper discoidal nervule and reaching the submedian nervure, missing, however, the space between the 2nd and 3rd median nervules ; two parallel white bands from the subcostal nervure to the 2nd median nervule beyond the middle of the wing, and below these, commencing between them and running to the submedian nervure, another white band ; two rows of indistinct parallel submarginal whitish lunules, and an anticiliary whitish line. Hind wing: bands and spots arranged much as in L. osias, but the submarginal row of sagittate markings (which in that species are black) scarcely definable, and but slightly darker than the ground-colour of the wing. Expanse 1T 7^ inch. Labuan (Low). In shape this species differs from all others described by the much more elongate fore wdng, the costa being longer, tbe apex more produced, and the inner margin shorter. The type specimen, which is in Messrs. Salvin and Godman's collection, is unique. LAMPIDES ARATUS. Papilio aratus, Cr. Pap. Exot. vol. iv. pi. ccclxv. figs, a, b (1782). Kina Balu (Waterstr.); Sandakan (Pryer). d • Quite typical. Female with brown outer marginal border to fore wing broader than the usual form from Amboina. LAMPIDES AD ANA. Cupido adana, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 349. Labuan (Low). This is a verv doubtful species, the male being indistinguishable |
