CWallace) and a female from Singapore are in the Oxford University Museum. A 

 male and female from Sumatra and a female from Borneo are in Mr. P. Crowley's 

 collection. We possess both sexes from Borneo ; females from Borneo and Sumatra 

 are in Mr. H. Grose-Smith's collection. A male and female from Labuan, Borneo, 

 are in the British Museum. Both sexes of Onieroda differ from the Javan species, 

 ViJcasi, on the upperside, in the discoidal streak, and discal bands, being com- 

 paratively narrower and of a pale fuliginous browo, in Vibisl they are sullied 

 brownish-white; the discal series of spots on forewiug are narrower, the lower 

 spots being rounded, in Vikad they are broadly dentate. On the underside the 

 ground-colour is duller brown than in Vikaai, the streak and discal bands less 

 prominent, especially in the male. — Bimbisara Kheilii. Male. Upperside olivescent
