Sandakan and Libaran I. (Gator). 



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.

Dr. Staudinger's collector has obtained examples of this species 

 on the mainland. In Sumatra, Mr. de Niccville states that, with 

 /'. i)Mlota, How., it is less rare than the others belonging to the 

 genus.

Mr. D. Cator procured both sexes at Sandakan in April and in 

 August. 



SiMiSKiNA, Distant. 



SiMISKINA niALENA, IIow. 



When referring to this species, 1 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 SimisJcina, 

 where it has been included by Mr. de Niceville. 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 Simishina caunot stand. Mr. de Niceville has lately 

 described and figured the female of /S. phalemi. Hew. (Journ. 

 Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. ix. p. 270, pi. O. fig. 13, 1895), so that I 

 appear to have quite incorrectly considered his S. solyma to be 

 the female. The general reseuiblance of tlie undersides and the 

 receipt of the two sexes from the same locality led me to believe 

 that they belonged to tlie same species. Mr. D. Cator has sent 

 me for examination two females taken at Sandakan in July.
