Labuan {Lov^ and Waterstr.) ; Sandakan {Fryer). 

 All Labuau specimens I have examined are dark in colour, even 

 darker than the S. Indian form named L. swrya by Mr. Moore. 



Drina, de Nicev. 



Drina ninoda, sp. n. 



cJ . Allied to D. donina, Hew., but larger and with a distinct 

 white spot close to outer angle of fore wing in the submedian 

 interspace, and two dull brownish-green pale patches — one, an 

 elongate oval, between the first and second median nervules ; the 

 other placed below it in the submedian interspace, sqnare. Under- 

 side : bands broader and more distinct, notably that one which 

 crosses the fore wing beyond the cell, which is also straighter. 



Expanse 2f inches. 



Labuan (Low). Type Mus. Gr. & S. Sandakan (Ehves). 



Although closely allied to D. donina, the additional patches and 

 spot described above are sufficient to distinguish it. 1 have ex- 

 amined a number of B. donina from Burmah, but find no traces of 

 these patches in any of them.

Labuan (Low and Waterstr.). 



Messrs. Godman and Salvin's collection contains two males of 

 this species, one of which agrees with Hewitsou's figure, with the 

 addition of the brown lines and nervules as described by Mr. Do- 

 herty in a specimen from Perak (J. A. S. B. vol. Ix. pi. 2. no. 1, 

 p. 34, 1891) ; the other, which is somewhat larger, has a much 

 narrower brown outer margin to the fore wing, and is without the 

 brown hnes and nervules. Dr. Staudinger has sent me the female.

Labuan (Low and Wahnes) ; IS.E. Borneo, near Banjarmasin 

 (Wahnes). 



The width of the white band on the fore wing below varies 

 somewhat. It is a common species — the male apparently being 

 most seldom met with, as out of 15 specimens before me three only 

 are of that sex. 



Messrs. Godman and Salvin's collection contains a female from 

 Sumatra (Sachs).
