678 MR. H, H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCENIDEZ. ([Junel6, 
the sexes. Dr. Staudinger writes me that he has received a pair 
only, and we possess a female specimen obtained by Mr. Everett, 
which I think is referable to this species, although the three black 
anal spots are larger, and on the underside are all dusted with 
bluish scales. 
M., licinius may perhaps turn out to be the same as Mr. de Nicé- 
ville’s Neocheritra nisibis’ from the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, 
which is described from females only, but I do not think it is 
likely. However, I am of opinion that it is a mistake to describe 
insects of such groups as these from females only. 
Trix, Doherty. 
This genus is very nearly allied to Virgarina, mihi, and is distin- 
guished from it by the possession of an additional (fourth) subcostal 
nervule in the fore wing, and by the glandular patch being placed 
somewhat nearer to the inner margin ; and it is with much pleasure 
that I am able to record a species belonging to it from Borneo.

Labuan ( Waterstr.). 
Dr. Staudinger’s collection contains a single male, which I refer 
to this species, and which I have figured. 
It differs somewhat from Mr. Doberty’s description in having the 
basal area of the fore wing slightly dusted with blue. The tuft of 
orange hairs also cannot be said to be placed in the middle of the 
fore wing, but is much nearer to the inner margin. 
Mr. Doherty states that it apparently mimics Hodaylides tharis, 
Hiibn., but the specimen before me is much more like Virgarina 
scopula, Druce, but is, of course, at once distinguished from that 
insect by the additional subcostal nervule. 
It may be that this Bornean insect represents another species of 
Thrix, but, unfortunately, I do not possess a specimen of 7. gama 
with which to compare it. 
N&rocHERITRA, Distant. 
NEOCHERITRA AMRITA, var. THEODORA, H. H. Druce. 
I have received a specimen of the green form from Labuan, 
obtained by Waterstradt. 
Jacoona, Distant. 
Mr. Distant, in describing this genus in ‘Rhopalocera Malayana,’ 
p- 241 (1884), states that it has four subcostal nervules, the first 
being anastomosed with the costal nervure, which is stated to be 
short and terminating on the costa before the end of the cell. 
Now these statements are all incorrect. I have before me typical 
specimens of J. anaswja, Feld., 3, and, on examination, I find that 
the costal nervure is long and reaches the margin considerably
