Show 1895.] MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCEEJNIDEE. 601 spot in the lobe and the orange crowning it are both larger. Underside as male, but inner margin of fore wing not so distinctly white and the linear band of fore wdng more prominent. Expanse, d 2 • 2 inches. Kina Balu (Waterstr.). This is a fine and, I believe, quite distinct species, which should be easily recognized. TAJURIA TUSSIS, sp. n. (Plate XXXIII. figs. 8 d, 9 2 •) c?. Pale blue, much the colour of T. isceus, Hew. Differing from that species by the apical half of the fore wing being black, the black apex extending from just beyond the cell to the outer angle. The underside differs from T. isceus by the common linear band being placed nearer to the margins, by having a pale orange streak at the base of the costa on the fore wdng, and by the orange at the anal angle being darker. 2 • Upperside dull violaceous blue, more extensive in the fore wing than in male ; hind wdng with the nervules brown and with a marginal row of ill-defined brown spots. Underside as male, but the costal streak but slightly ochreous and barely discernible, whilst the linear bands appear to be further in. Expanse, d 1-fo inch, § li inch. Labuan ( Waterstr.). The types of this species are the only specimens I have seen and belong to Dr. Staudinger. I do not feel quite certain that the female here described belongs to the male, as the linear band is placed somewhat further in-it is not, however, anything like so far in as in T. isceus. TAJURIA ISEEUS. Iolaus isceus, H e w . 111. Diurn. Lep., Lye. p. 44, pi. xix. figs. 13,14 (1865). Sarawak (Hew.). Hewitson is m y only authority for including this species. Mr. H . J. Elwes has lately pointed out1 that T. relata, Distant, is conspecific with T. isceus, and after an examination of the type d kindly sent m e by Dr. Staudinger, I a m able to confirm this statement-it is identical with Hewitson's species. TAJURIA CATO, sp. n. (Plate XXXIII. figs. 13 J , 14 $ .) o" • Upperside bright blue, brighter and darker than in T. mantra and somewhat differently placed-in the fore wing there being less in the cell and more in the first median interspace, and in tbe hind wing more extensive ; apex and outer margin black, wdth a large inconspicuous black patch of differently placed scales occupying more than the upper half of the cell in the fore wing. Anal fold dark greyish ; lobe wdth a black spot dusted with a few metallic scales, but no orange. Tails black, tipped with white, the lower with bluish cilia.
