Mr. Moore's type is now in the British Museum Collection. 

 Mr. Bethuue-Baker will doubtless decide whether the insects from 

 India afterwards described by Hewitson in the British Museum 

 Catalogue as A. epimuta are identical with the type. 



Cttbetis, Hiibn. 



Mr. de Xiceville has expressed the opinion that there are but 

 two species of this genus occurring within Indian limits (Butt. 

 Tnd. etc. vol. iii. p. 285), and later (p. 291) that C. cesopus is a 

 distinct connecting link between these two. In arranging the 

 Bornean species I have found the same difficulty in pairing the 

 females as he mentions with regard to those from India. So far as 

 I can ascertain, the ochreous-coloiu'ed female is the only form that 

 is found in Borneo, as I have not come across a single white one. 



CUEETIS TAGALICA. 



Anops tagcdica, Feld. Eeise Novai*a, Lep. ii. p. 221, pi. xxviii. 

 figs. 19, 20 (1865). 



Curetis tagdlica, Druce, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 353. 



Labuan {Low). 



C. tagaliax is scarcely distinguishable from C. phadnis. Fab., on 

 the upperside, but on the underside Bornean specimens are 

 usually very strongly suffused -n-ith blackish brown. 



CUBETIS NESOPHILA. 



Phcedra msopliila, Feld. AVien. ent. Mon. vi. p. 289 (1862). 



Curetis harsine. Druce, "P. Z. S, 1873, p. 353 (nee Feld.). 



Kina Balu {Waterstr.) ; Sarawak (Platen); Labuan (Low, 

 Waterstr., and Wahnes). 



In C. nesophila the cupreous red does not extend above the 

 subcostal nervure in the fore wing except just at the base. 

 Mr. Herbert Druce referred these specimens to C. harsine, Feld., 

 from Amboina, which has a female ^nth white spots on the discs ; 

 but as there appears to be no evidence of any white females 

 occuiTing in Borneo, I think it better to place them under 

 P. nesophila. 



CUBETIS MINIMA. 



Curetis minima. Distant & Pryer, Ann. &Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, 

 vol. xix. p. 265 (1887). 



Sandakan (Pryer). 



I have not seen this species, which is described as being near to 

 C. insida'>'is, Horsf., from Java. 



Curetis ^sopus, 



Papilio cesopus. Fab. Sp. Ins. vol. ii. p. 125 (1781). 

 Kina Balu (Waterstr.); Labuan ( Watersi;-. and Wahnes); S.E. 

 Borneo, near Baujarmasin (Wahnes).
