Kina Balu ( Waterstr.). 



Dr. Staudinger has sent me a fine specimen ( cf ) of what I take 

 to be this interesting species ; it differs slightly, however, from 

 Mr. Distant's description of the underside as follows : — The fore 

 wing has only one small fuscous spot in the middle of the cell ; 

 on the hind wing the fuscous spot beneath the outermost black 

 spot on the costal margin and the fuscous spot in the cell are 

 both wanting. 



The genera Una, de Nicev., and Prosotas^, milii, agree very 

 closely in venation, but have a very different general appearance, 

 whilst the paljji of Prosotas are shorter and the antennae less 

 spatulate.

All the Bornean males I have examined have the blue area of 

 the fore wiug much contracted. 



Lampides, Hiibn. 



After working carefully through the described species of this 

 genus, I find four Bornean species which I am unable to match 

 with any of them, and am, though with considerable reluctance, 

 obliged to describe them here. Although Mr. de jS^iceville has 

 paid much attention to the genus, and, having seen some of 

 Telder's types, has, in a paper (Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 

 pp. 364-368, 1891) published after his ' Butterflies of India, etc,' 

 considerably altered some statements made in that work, much 

 yet remains to be done to put the genus into a satisfactory 

 condition ; and until some one has the opportunity to carefully 

 compare the types of the numerous species described by Herr 

 Edber in 'Iris' i., and those of Felder and others, I fear it will 

 still be so. After carefully studying Herr Eober's figures I am of 

 opinion that they are by far the best yet published of this difKcult 

 group and not, as has been stated, difficult to make out.
