﻿SOME UNDESCRIBED BORNEAN NYMPHALID.^. 99 



sbould have placed it near hypermnestra and candata. On color- 

 ation alone I place it provisionally near hicetina, which it 

 resembles roughly. The tailed hind wing, of course, separates 

 it from this Celebes species, and the white patch on the hind 

 wing is nearer the base in smithi. In hicetina it is clear of the 

 cell. The distal white marks of the fore wing are about half 

 the size of those in hicetina. 



Subfam. Amathusiin^. 

 Faunis stomphax, Westw., harraiiti, subsp. nov. 



Differs from typical stomphax in lacking the white band across 

 the apex of fore wing below. A thin dark brown line replaces it in 

 barrauti. 



Habitat. — North Borneo (Mt. Kinabalu, Marapok Mts,, and 

 Limbang). Further west and south it is replaced by typical 

 stomphax, which Fruhstorfer states also occurs in the Kinabalu 

 district. All the individuals collected on my recent expedition 

 there are referable to barrauti, as also specimens from Northern 

 Sarawak (Marapok Mts. and Limbang) ; the only typical stomphax 

 before me comes from Western Sarawak. 



Named in honour of the Hon. E. H. Barraut, Eesident of 

 the West Coast, British North Borneo, to whom I am much 

 indebted for kind help in facilitating my expedition to Kinabalu. 



Subfam. Nymphalin.^. 

 Ducapa fasciata, Feld., alleni, subsp. nov. 



Differs from the Continental form figured by Moore (' Lepidoptera 

 Indica,' vol. iv. pi. 363, figs. 3, 3a, 3b, 3c) in the much narrower 

 yellow post-median band on the hind wing above, which is only half 

 as broad (or less) as the succeeding (distally) fuscous band of ground- 

 colour. By this character alone alleni in both sexes can be distin- 

 guished from all other races, as in these the yellow post-median band 

 is broader than the distal band of fuscous ground-colour. 



The yellow spots of the fore wing above are also reduced in both 

 sexes, especially in the female, which differs from the male in having 

 the median yellow band nearly twice as broad. 



A local species in Borneo. The Sarawak Museum series 

 comes from Mt. Kinabalu, Baram, Tatau, and Banting. At the 

 last-mentioned locality I obtained it first in 1909. There is a 

 Mission station here in the charge of the Eev. G. Dexter Allen, 

 with whom I stayed on that occasion, and after whom I now 

 name this subspecies. 



Fruhstorfer, Bingham, and de Niceville place this species in 

 the genus Cirrochroa, but I prefer to follow Moore and Shelford 

 in giving it full generic distinction. 



Terinos atlita, Fab., albonotata, subsp. nov. 

 Recorded by Shelford as teuthras. Hew., from which it differs, on 

 comparison with Distant's figure of the upper side, in the absence of
