Kina Balu (Waterstr.) ; Labuan (Low). Bornean specimens agree well with Hewitson's type from Singapore. ARHOPALA AGESIAS. Amblypodia agesias, Hew. Cat. Lye. B. M. p. 11, pi. vi. figs. 55, 56, 2 (1862). Sandakan (Pryer). Several specimens agreeing well with the type. Var. KINABALA, UOV. Differs from the type by being generally larger and with the spots on the underside larger and darker and wdth an additional spot on the costa of the fore wdng. Kina Balu (Waterstr.); Labuan (Low). This may prove to be a distinct species, but for the present I do not think it advisable to treat it as such. ARHOPALA SIMILIS, sp. n. Amplypodia agesias, var. a, Hew. d 2 • Allied to A. agesias, Hew. Upperside much the same. Underside differs by the fore wdng being entirely without the discal band of spots which is placed beyond the end of the cell. Sandakan (Pryer). Mus. G. & S. and Druce. Mr. de Niceville has recorded this species from Selangor in the Malay Peninsula. It is probably quite distinct from A. agesias and has been received in about equal numbers. Hewdtson describes A. agesias as possessing four spots in the discal band of the fore wdng, but counting from the commencement on the costa there are seven or eight, tbe lowest sometimes being obsolete. ARHOPALA MTRTALE. Amblypodia myrtale, Staud. Iris, i. p. 126, pi. i. fig. 16, d (1889). Sandakan and Elopura (Pryer); Labuan (Low). I have before me several specimens which agree well wdth Dr. Staudinger's type (and figure) from Palawan. ARHOPALA AMPHIMUTA. Amblypodia amphimuta, Feld. Wien. ent. Monat. vol. iv. p. 396 (1860). Narathura amphimuta, Distant & Pryer, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. xix. p. 269 (1887). Sandakan (Pryer). Included here on the authority of Messrs. Distant and Pryer, as I have not seen a Bornean specimen which agrees exactly with Felder's type. |
