654 MR, H. H, DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCENIDE. [June 16, 
Sandakan and Libaran I. (Cator). : ; 
Mr. Cator was fortunate in capturing two fine specimens of this 
beautiful species, which is recorded now for the first time from 
Borneo. They are larger than the type, and differ from it in the 
band beyond the cell in the fore wing below being somewhat less 
straight and rather more broken up. But this difference appears 
to me much too slight to constitute it a distinct species.

Sandakan. ; 
Mr. D. Cator captured a single male specimen in July, which is 
the only one I have seen from Borneo. 
Porir1a, Moore. 
PoRITIA SUMATRA, Feld. 
Brunei ( Waterstr.). 
Dr. Staudinger’s collector has obtained examples of this species 
on the mainland. In Sumatra, Mr. de Nicéville states that, with 
P. philota, Hew., it is less rare than the others belonging to the 
genus. 
PoritIA PHALUKE, H. H. Druce. 
Mr. D. Cator procured both sexes at Sandakan in April and in 
August. 
SrmisK1na, Distant. 
SIMISKINA PHALENA, Hew. 
When referring to this species, I placed it in the genus Poritia; 
but as it is without the tuft of hair near the base of the submedian 
nervure in the hind wing, it is perhaps better placed in Siniskina, 
where it has been included by Mr. de Nicéville. The second tuft 
of hair in all the specimens I have examined is hardly discernible ; 
and is entirely absent in all specimens of S. pharyge, Hew., that I 
have before me’. 
These facts seem to point to the conclusion that in this case the 
absence or presence of these tufts is not of generic importance, 
and that Simiskina cannot stand. Mr. de Nicéville has lately 
described and figured the female of S. phalena, Hew. (Journ. 
Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. ix. p. 270, pl. O. fig. 13, 1895), so that I 
appear to have quite incorrectly considered his S. solyma to be 
the female. The general resensblance of the undersides and the 
receipt of the two sexes from the same locality led me to believe 
that they belonged to the same species. Mr. D. Cator has sent 
me for examination two females taken at Sandakan in July.
