Havine recently published a paper on the Lycaenidae of 
Borneo,* it is perhaps only natural to expect further 
material to present itself at once, thereby necessitating 
modifications and additions to a work just “‘ completed.” 
Two interesting specimens, lent me for examination by 
Mr. H. H. Druce, have led me to work out the Thecline 
genus Thamala, Moore, which has been treated with much 
uncertainty by different authors for many years past 
owing to the rarity of specimens in collections; and the 
study of further material has brought to light some details 
of synonymy in other Lycaenids, so that it seems advisable 
to place these notes on record as soon as possible. 
To the authorities of the British Museum I am much 
indebted for facilities accorded in studying their collections. 
Through Mr. F. H. Gravely of the Indian Museum I was 
able to examine some rare specimens belonging to that 
Museum. Mr. Noakes, Curator of Mr. Joicey’s collection 
of Lepidoptera, was also kind enough to bring me speci- 
mens of Thamala to examine. The numbers before each 
species refer to the numbers used in my paper mentioned 
above. 
The number of different species of Lycaenidae now 
known from Borneo is 302, of which 118 are not at present
