Labuan (Zow and Wahnes). 



Both sexes of this species from Borneo agree exactly with Herr 

 Seniper's figures. Dr. Staudinger has kindly sent nie his types 

 for examination, and I quite agree with llerr Semper {vide Supp. 

 Schmett. Phil. Insel.) that they are conspecific ; but as irroruttis, 

 Druce, falls before boisduvali, Moore, Dr. Staudinger's name must 

 stand. 



Dr. Staudinger possesses a female from S.E. Borneo, near Banjar- 

 masin, taken by Wahnes, which may possibly represent another 

 species, as the band on the upperside is very narrow and obscured 

 and the underside is of a reddish-brown hue; but without seeing a 

 male I do not care to describe it. 



The specimen referred to M. zinl-enii, Feld., by Mr. Herbert 

 Druce (P. Z. S. 1873, p. 348), is an example of G. philippxis. 



Geetdus vincula, sp. n. (Plate XXXI. figs. 9 (J , 10 $ .)• 



S • Upperside uniform dull brown, with a pale oval spot at the 

 base of the third median nervule of the fore wing, which just 

 surrounds the swollen portion of the vein. Underside much like 

 that of G. philippus but paler, and with a submarginal band of 

 confluent markings extending from the apex to the outer angle of 

 the fore wing and with the marginal spots very indistinct. 



2 . Form of G.philipipus : upperside uniform dull brown without 

 markings ; underside as male.

Borneo. 



This obscure species is, I believe, the only one of the genus 

 which has the ultra-median band on the underside of the fore 

 wing extending across the wing to the anal angle — it usually ends 

 somewhere about the third median nervule ; the sombre colouring 

 of the female is also unusual. The types are in Messrs. Godman 

 and Salvin's collection, the male received from Dr. Staudinger and 

 the female formerly in Bates's cabinet, neither being exactly 

 localized -.

^ I have carefully examined the type of Mr. Herbert Druce's Miletics irro- 

 ratiis, which is in Messrs. Godman and Salvin's collection, and find that it is 

 quite impossible to separate it from G. boisduvali, Moore. 



- I have not included the Meyalopalpics simplex, described by Herr Rober 

 ('Iris,' i. p. 51, pi. iv. f. 1. 188.5) from Borneo, as I am of opinion that it is an 

 African species closelj' allied to, or identical with, the Pentila zymna, Doub., 

 Hew. I have not seen M. simplex, and judge from the figure only, which is 

 from a photograph.
