Labuan ( Wahnes). 



Specimens from Labuan, as also one from Java in our collection, 

 agree well with Hewitson's type from Borneo. I have described 

 below a new geuus and species of this group from the Philippine 

 Islands.' 



PiTHECOPS, Horsf , 



PiTHECOPS HTLAX. 



Papilio hylax. Fab. Syst. Ent. p. 526 (1775). 

 Kina Balu {Waterstr.) ; Labuan near Banjarmasin, S.E. Borueo. 

 Mr. Doherty has also taken this species in Borneo (vide Butt. 

 Lid. iii. p. 50). 



Neoptthecops, Distant. 

 Neopithecops zalmoea. 



Pithecops zalmora, Butl. Cat. Fab. Lep. B. M. p. 161 (1869). 

 Ciqndo talmora, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 348. 

 Labuan (Low) ; S.E. Borneo {Doherty). 



Spalgis, Moore. 

 Spalgis epitis. 



L^icia epius, Westw. Gen. Diurn. Lep. vol. ii. p. 502, pi. Ixxvi. 

 fig. 5 (1852) ^ 



^ PoRisKiNA, gen. nov. 



Allied to Poritla, but with two subcostal nervules only to the fore wing ; the 

 first, which is emitted about the middle of the cell, is very short and runs into 

 the costal nervure, the second is emitted about hallway between the first and 

 the end of the cell. Two distinct tufts of hair in the cell of the hind wing; the 

 upper one, which is composed of much the longest hairs, is placed close lo the 

 subcostal nervure, whilst the lower, which is smaller but very distinct, lies close 

 to the median nervure a short distance from the base. 



PoRisKiNA piiAKOs, sp. n. (Plate XXXIV. fig. 15 c?-) 



(^. Upperside pale casrulean blue, non-iridescent; fore wing — costal nai- 

 rowly, apex and outer margin rather broadly dull brown ; hind wing — costal 

 and anal margins pale grey, outer margin rather narrowly dull brown : upper 

 tuft of hairs white, lower tuft brown. Underside greyish white : fore wing 

 glistening along inner margin up to lower median nervule ; a pale orange spot 

 in the cell at base of first median nervule, a narrow streak at the end of the 

 cell and beyond, at about the middle a broken irregular band composed of 

 irregular pale orange spots with narrow brown edges, and beyond this two 

 exceedingly sinuous brown lines : hind wing as fore wing, but with an addi- 

 tional band of pale yellow spots placed about halfway between the base and the 

 median band. Head, thorax, and abdomen bluish above, white beneath. Legs 

 white, spotted with black. 



Expanse If inch. 



Hub. Mindanao, Davao (Platen). Mus. Staud. 



Dr. Staudinger has sent me this very distinct insect, which is not closely 

 allied to any with which I am acquainted. It should be easily distinguished 

 from all others by the absence of the third subcostal nervule, and by the non- 

 iridescent blue. 



- I have carefully examined the type of S. dilama, Moore, which is in 

 Messrs. Godman and Salvin's collection, and find that it differs only from 

 Sikkim specimens in the ground-colour being slightly paler. It is in very poor 

 condition, and I quite fail to see how Mr. Moore can have considered it in any 

 way distinct.
