Dr. Staudinger having kindly sent me the types of his Palawan 

 Lifccenidce for examination, I find that his D. anabasis is allied to 

 a. suffusa, Moore, his D. varuna, Horsf. = R. sjihinx, Yah., and 

 that his D. schistacea, Moore, is a species without any purple gloss 

 on either wing and = It. orseis = R. varuna.

Kina Balu (Waterstr.) ; Labuan (Low and Waterslr.). 



Several specimens agreeing well with Hewitson's type. The 

 female is dull purphsh brown on the upperside, darkest at the 

 margins and with darker veins ; on the underside it is like the 

 male. The species appears to be quite a distinct one.

R. pheretima apparently takes the place of R. petosiris. Hew., in 

 Borneo. The lower half of the club of the antennae is broadly 

 white-ringed, giving it quite an unusual appearance ; this, how- 

 ever, is present only in the male.

Messrs. Godman and Salvin's collection contains a female 

 specimen which agrees welHnth Dr. Staudinger's type of D. inter- 

 medius, var. ccerulescens ; his male is identical with typical xenophon,

Deudorix harthema, Dist. Ehop. Malay, p. 280 (1885). 

 cf . Differs from $ on the upperside by being darker brown, 

 and by the hind wing being rich cupreous" brown with the costal 

 margin broadly brown and crossed by brown nervules. Under- 

 side as 2 . The tuft of hair at end of abdomen is buff-colour. 



Kina Balu, Labuan ( Waterstr.). 



The male described above has no purple shading, and if I am 

 correct in identifying the species it is not conspecitic with R. suf- 

 fusa, Moore, as suggested by Mr. de Niceville (Butt. Ind. p. 467). 

 I have before me two females which agree with Mr. Distant's
