DESCEIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES OF MGERIID2E AND SFSINGIDJE. 

 BY HERBEHT DRrCE, F.L.S., F.Z.S. 



Family ^GERIID^. 

 Sara Peteri. 



Wings bright bronze-brown shot with purple ; posterior-wing with two trans- 

 parent spots close to the base, the fringe black ; body brown, and the anal tufts 

 bright red. Antennae and legs black. Expanse of wings, If in. 



Hab. : N. E. Borneo, Sandakan {Fryer). Mus. Druce. 



This species is allied to S. chalyhea, Butler, from Singapore. 



* Not yet ascertained to be British. 



a There is no proof that the Fs. pyri of Curtis is identical with that of Linn., and, therefore, 

 I include it amongst those not yet ascertained to be British. 



b The plants are not British, but, probably, the insects may be found on some of the allied 

 species. 



c Pear-trees in gardens should be carefully examined, as several of the species infesting the 

 wild pear, if not the whole, ai-e found upon them. 



d Although Forster says he had one specimen from Mr, Walker, I have not seen any of recent 

 date, and have not, therefore, included it in my former list. The Ps. notaia, Flor, is synonymous.
