Kina Balu ( Waterstr.) ; Elopura (Pryer); Labuan ( Wahnes Low). The spots and bands vary in size and connections in the specimens before me, as noted by Mr. de Niceville in Andaman examples. CASTALIUS ROXUS. Polyommatus roxus, Godt. Enc. Meth. vol. ix. p. 659 (1823). Lawas (Everett). W e possess a single female obtained by Mr. Everett, which is my only authority for including the species here. C. roxus is stated by Felder and also by Mr. Doherty to have a short white band at the base of the costa on the underside of tbe hind wing, and is so figured by Mr. Distant in Ehop. Malay., but in all the specimens of C. roxus that I have examined the white streak is present in the fore wdng only. POLYOMMATUS, Latr. POLYOMMATUS BOSTICUS. Papilio bceticus, Linn. Syst.
