618 MR. H. H. DEUCE ON BORNEAN LTCEKIDJE. [June 18, 



M. surindra may prove to be a seasooal form of M. moorei, but 

 at present we have no evidence in that respect. The var. alhula 

 appears to be as common as the typical form at Sandakan, whence 

 all the specimens I have examined have come. Messrs. Godman 

 and vSaJvin possess a male and female from Palawan, which agree 

 with var. albula. Dr. Staudiuger has sent me the types of his 

 S. ravindrina, c^ $ ; these agree with S. surindra, but on the 

 underside the fore wings are bright ochreous yellow. 



Messrs. Distant and Pryer record J). ( = 31.) ravindra, Horsfield, 

 from Sandakan, but as the specimens represent M, surindra I 

 have not included the species in my hst.

Bornean specimens of this insect show scarcely any (and in some 

 eximples no) trace of the blue scales along the inner margin of 

 the fore wing above, in the male, which character seems best deve- 

 loped in specimens from Nias Island, which possess it in a marked 

 degree — in one example in our collection it extends from the 

 margin to the middle of the cell \

I have not seen this species, and have placed it in this genus 

 judging from the description and the remark that it is allied to 

 H. {= E.) tharis. It appears to have a moi'e extensive white area 

 on the hind wing above than that species.

■^ Myrina meduana, Hew., which has been referred to Eooxylides by Herr 

 Semper (Reise Phil. Ins.), has the glandular patch in the male oblong and 

 placed at the end of the cell. The neuration, however, appears to be much 

 the same.
