﻿100 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



fuscous scales at the base of the inner margin in fore wing and in 

 cell of hind wing, in the fuscous scales of the inner margin in hind 

 wing extending to the first median nervule, and in the reduced white 

 distal edging to the two large violet-white subanal spots on the 

 hind wing. 



Type and only known specimen (a male) from Simanggang, 

 Sarawak, August, 1900. 



The colouring above is very different to that of fulminans, 

 with which it agrees, however, on the under side and in the 

 square caudate hind wing. 



Fruhstorfer places T. fulminans as a subspecies of atlites, 

 but in view of the occurrence of another subspecies (described 

 above) in Sarawak, it would appear preferable to give it specific 

 distinction. The under sides of fidminans and alhonotata are 

 exactly similar, but the upper sides are entirely different. 

 Fruhstorfer notes that fulminans occurs in both North and 

 South-east Borneo. It is in the Sarawak Museum from Kina- 

 balu, but not from Sarawak. It is, of course, possible that 

 alhonotata takes its place there, but I consider the upper side is 

 sufficiently different to render this unlikely. 



Apatui'a parisatis, Westw., horneana, Fruhst. 



The female of the Bornean form appears to be undescribed. 

 I have five before me, taken on Mt. Kinabalu in September, 1913, 

 at an altitude of about 3000 ft. 



General colouring above tawny ochreous, close to the Ceylon form 

 camiha, as figured by Fruhstorfer in Seitz's ' Macro-Lepidoptera of 

 the World,' but lacking the rufous tinge of that form. From the same 

 author's figure of ^'ava^ia it differs in the more pronounced row of 

 four black spots in the post-median area of the hind wing above. 

 Beneath, a fifth spot is just visible below the first subcostal nervule. 

 In the fore wing beneath the two apical spots of the submarginal 

 row are white, the next three inwardly edged with black, the sixth 

 large and black, the last also black but smaller. 



A sixth female from the same locality, and taken at the same 

 time, differs from the above in the absence of all ochreous colouring, 

 the general colour above and below being grey-brown, banded with 

 white instead of orange. For this I propose the name halua (female) 

 form. nov.

Whilst out collecting towards the end of August, 1912, my 

 attention was drawn to several bees of the genus Megachile
