1873.] MR. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LEPIDOPTERA. 337 



5. A List of the Collections of Diurnal Lepidoptera made 

 by Mr. Lowe in Borneo, with Descriptions of new Spe- 

 cies. By Herbert Druce, F.L.S., F.Z.S. 



[Received February 13, 1873.] 

 (Plates XXXII. & XXXIII.) 



These collections, of which I am unfortunately only able to 

 give but a fragmentary account, were got together by Mr. Lowe 

 during the years 1867, 1869, and 1872, and forwarded to this 

 country. On their arrival they were offered to the collectors of this 

 group of insects and in a great measure dispersed. • Kegretting that 

 so much valuable information bearing upon the distribution of 

 Butterflies should be scattered broadcast amongst various publica- 

 tions or altogether lost to science, I have made the following en- 

 deavour to gather together the names of such species as I could 

 place specimens of in my own collection and study myself. 



I hope to follow up this subject, and, as opportunity offers, to add 

 to the present list ; and I also hope that Mr. Lowe will continue his 

 exertions, especially as the specimens sent home have proved to be 

 in the finest possible condition. 



The collections contained 301 species (29 of which I have de- 

 scribed as new), representing 5 families, 8 subfamilies, and 84 genera. 

 When they came into my hands they had been picked over by 

 other collectors, and many fine species taken out. 



For the sake of convenience I have followed Mr. Kirby's ar- 

 rangement in his ' Catalogue of Diurnal Lepidoptera.'
