Show 624 MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCEENIDEE. [June 18, description, and which on the underside are exactly like the male here described. EAPALA LAIMA, sp. n. (Plate XXXIV. fig. 12 cf •) cf . Upperside dull greyish brown, inner margin of fore wing, aiso disc of hind wing, in some lights slightly cupreous. Anal fold and sexual patch pale buff-colour. Lobe pale orange wdth a black spot. Underside much as in R. barthema, but considerably paler, and with tbe fasciae less distinct, the lobe, which is black, smaller, as is also the black spot between the lower median nervules. Abdomen brown above, yellowish below, with a tuft of buff-coloured hair at its extremity. 2 . Upperside uniform dull brown without any cupreous gloss. Underside as cf • Expanse, cf lyo- 2 lyV 'ncn- Kina Balu (Waterstr.); Sandakan (Pryer). This dull-coloured species appears to be distinct from any I can find described. It has a less robust appearance than any others of the genus. The male is in Dr. Staudinger's collection, the female in Messrs. Godman and Salvin's. EAPALA DRASMOS, sp. n. (Plate XXXIV. fig. 13 2 •) 2 . Upperside rich dark brown, shining, with the disc of the fore wdng brownish orange (much the colour of R. jarbas, Fab., 2 » but paler), crossed by brown nervules. The nervules also of the hind wing are a darker shade of colour than the rest of the wdng. Lobe pale orange wdth a black spot. Underside sornewdiat paler than is usual in R. xenophon, Fab., and with the fasciae broader, straighter, and more distinct. Expanse ly\ inch. Labuan (Waterstr.). Type Mus. Staud. Dr. Staudinger has sent me a single female of this species. It should be easily recognized by the coloured disc of the fore wing. I have not seen the male. EAPALA DOMITIA. Deudorix domitia, Hew. 111. Diurn. Lep., Lye. p. 19, pi. vi. figs. 6, 7 (1863). Deudorix domitia, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 353. Labuan (Low and Waterstr.). Dr. Staudinger possesses a male which has the dash in tbe cell pale yellow dusted with brown ; the costal margin and anal fold of hind Wing also are broadly pale yellow, and the apex of the fore wing is dusted with white scales. The underside is very pale, scarcely darker along the inner margin on the fore wdng. The sexual patch on the hind wdng, which in all other species of Rapala that I have examined is large and conspicuous, is in R. domitia small, elongate, close to the subcostal nervure, aud difficult to see, thereby approaching the genus Deudorix. |
