652 MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCENIDZ. (June 16, 
Kina Balu (Waterstr.). Type Mus. Staud. : 
This species appears to be quite distinct, and the black hind 
wings above and the reddish-brown patches below should at once 
separate it from its allies *. 
Paragurypvs, Distant. 
PARAGERYDUS PYXUS. 
Paragerydus py«us, de Nicév. J. A. 8. B. vol. xiii. no. 1, p. 27, 
pl. v. fig. 2, g¢ (1894). 
Labuan ( Wahnes); Sandakan, Sapagaya, and Melikop ( Cator). 
Dr. Staudinger has sent me several specimens which appear to 
be referable to this species, and Mr. D. Cator has also captured it. 
PARAGERYDUS WATERSTRADTI, H. H. Druce. 
Mr. Cator captured this species at Sapagaya. 
Mr. Cator has also obtained a long series of specimens of an 
allied species from the island of Cagayan, which I believe is un- 
named and have ventured to describe below ”. 
PAaRAGHRYDUS APHOCHA. 
Allotinus aphocha, Kheil, Rhop. Ins. Nias, p. 28, pl. v. fig. 30 
(1884). 
* Mr. de Nicéville is mistaken in supposing that the Miletus zymna, Doubl. & 
Hew., is a true Gerydus (see J. A. 8. B. lxiv. p. 445, 1895), as the structure of 
the legs at once proves that it is not congeneric. Dr. F. Karsch has lately 
placed this species, together with another from W. Africa (M. metaleucus, 
Karsch), in the genus Megalopalpus, Rober (Berlin. entom. Zeits. 1893, p. 217). 
We possess specimens of I. zymna, and on examination I find that they agree 
with the figures given by Herr Rober so far as the legs and palpi are concerned, 
but that the neuration does not exactly correspond with the neuration as there 
figured. I, however, still hold the same opinion as I expressed in P. Z. 8. 
1895, p. 561, footnote. On the other hand, Mr. Grose Smith has recorded 
Miletus zymna, Doubl. & Hew., from Sumatra, but Mr. de Nicéville and 
Dr. Martin did not obtain specimens. There is some confusion with regard to 
Megalopalpus, which I regret I cannot clear up. 
An examination of the types of Gerydus boisduvalii, Butler (Ann. Mag. Nat. 
Hist. ser. 5, vol. xii. 1884, p. 194), proves that they are synonymous with G. eos, 
Guér., the female of which is well figured in the ‘Voyage de La Coguille’ (pl. 18. 
fig. 8, 1829)—the specimens which Dr. Butler referred to G. (eos being the 
recently described G. maximus, Holland, from Celebes. Of course, G. boisdu- 
valit, Butler, could not in any case stand, as Mr. Moore, so long ago as 1857, 
described another species under the name Joisdwvali, with which the Amboinese 
species is strictly congeneric. 
? PARAGERYDUS MELOs, Sp. n. 
Closely allied to P. horsfieldi. 
3. Upperside much darker brown, with the discal patch paler and more 
conspicuous ; underside pale grey, with the marginal rows of spots in each 
wing dark and distinct. 
Q. Dark brown above, very slightly paler on the disc of the fore wing ; 
underside as male, but ground-colour paler. The outer margin of the hind 
wing is much more dentate than in that sex of P. horsfieldi. 
Expanse, ¢ 1,,-14 inch, 9 1,3,-13 inch. 
Hab, Cagayan. Types Mus. Cator and Druce. 
A number of specimens were obtained in June, which vary only in size.
