674 MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCENIDE. [June 16, 
out to be P. lucidus and Tajuria blanka to be its female, the insect 
must stand under the latter name, unless 7’. blanka is the female 
of the true P. cippus. But, I think, before we can arrive at a 
correct conclusion, we must await the arrival of more specimens. 
I note that the thorax beneath, in all the specimens I have seen of 
P. cippus and P. lucidus, is white. 
TasuRIA DONATANA, de Nicév. 
Kina Balu (Waterstr.); Banguey I. ( Waterstr.). 
The specimen obtained on Banguey I. has the blue rather duller 
and its areas rather reduced. 
TAJURIA BERENIS, sp.n. (Plate XXXI. fig. 6, ¢.) 
3. Upperside bright pale blue, colour of Purlisa giganteus, Dist., 
paler on the dise of the fore wing: fore wing—costal margin 
black ; apex broadly black, reaching to just below the lower median 
nervule, apparently blacker at the end of the cell; inner margin — 
straight; cilia black, except at outer angle where it is greyish: 
hind wing—costal margin whitish, darker towards the apex, which 
is narrowly black; anal fold whitish; a black anteciliary line ; 
cilia greyish; lobe with a black spot partially covered with blue 
scales and crowned with a small red spot. Underside grey, colour 
of 7. thyia, de Nicév.’, indistinct lines closing the cells in both wings 
as in that species ; the ultra-median linear band much as in 7’. thyia, 
but much bowed outwards in the fore wing and straighter in the hind 
wing. The anal markings are arranged as in 7’. thyza, but the 
black spots are larger and the yellow areas darker in colour and 
more extensive; cilia grey. Head, thorax, and abdomen con- 
colorous with wings on both surfaces. Two tails of about equal 
length, black, bordered and tipped with white. 
Expanse 14 inch. Types Mus. Staud. & Druce. 
Kina Balu ( Waterstr.). 
Dr. Staudinger has received two males of this species which are 
identical. Although I have compared it with 7’. thyia, it is not by 
any means closely allied to it. The outer margin of the hind wing 
in 7. thyiais much straighter, and the wing is much more produced 
anally than in 7’. berenis. 
I thought at first sight that this species might come into Mr. de 
Nicéville’s genus Ops *, as it appears to have a darker black spot at 
the end of the cell, but on a closer examination I cannot detect 
that these scales present a different aspect to any others on the 
wing. I have not seen any species of Ops at present. 
Below will be found described a beautiful new species of Tajuria 
from Java ®.
