Show 1895.] MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCEENIDEE. 589 there are in Messrs. Godman and Salvin's and our own collection about a dozen species which I am unable to determine ; but as Mr. G. T. Bethune-Baker is at present engaged on a monograph of the whole genus, I have thought it better to include only those species which I can identify with absolute certainty. Besides these unidentified species, most of which are probably undescribed, there are doubtless many new forms from Kina Balu. Mr. Herbert Druce recorded four species in his paper in P. Z. S. 1873, pp. 353, 354, viz. A. adatha, Hew., A. amphimuta, Feld., A. hypomuta, Hew., and A. lyceenaria, Hew., which I do not include, as I find that the specimens, which in some cases are not labelled with the names, cannot be referred to these species. ARHOPALA CENTAURUS. Papilio centaurus, Fab. Syst. Ent. p. 520 (1775). Amblypodia nakula, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 353. Narathura centaurus, Distant & Pryer, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. xix. p. 269 (1887). Sandakan (Pryer) ; Labuan (Low). ARHOPALA AGNIS. Arhopala agnis, Feld. Eeise Nov., Lep. ii. p. 228 (1865). Amblypodia anarte, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 353. Labuan (Low). There are two males in Messrs. Godman and Salvin's collection which are identical with Felder's type ; also a female which was referred to A. anarte by Mr. Herbert Druce. ARHOPALA AMPHEA. Arhopala amphea, Feld. Eeise Novara, Lep. ii. p. 234, pi. xxix. fig. 19 (1865). Amblypolia abseus, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 353. Sandakan (Pryer) ; Labuan (Low). Bornean specimens agree well wdth Philippine Island specimens, and if A. amphea is considered distinct must stand under that name. ARHOPALA ATOSIA ? Amblypodia atosia, Hew. 111. Diurn. Lep., Lye. p. 9, pi. ii. figs. 9 (1863). Amblypodia atosia, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 353. Labuan (Loiv); Borneo (Mus. Druce, ex Eev. E. Murray's collection). All the Bornean specimens before me are identical with Hew it-son's type on both surfaces, but are without the tails, so that I place them under this name with considerable doubt. Mr. de Niceville's figure of A. atosia, Hew. (Butt. Ind. etc. iii. frontispiece, fig. 138, 1890), is very little like Hewitson's type, as on the upperside it appears to be rich purple, while A. atosia is lilac-blue, |
