84 BUTTERFLIES OF BORNEO. 



2. Hestia belia, Westw. 



H. belia Westwood. Cab. Orient. Ent. pi. 37. fig. 2 

 Sub-sp. H. belia hypermnestra, Westw. 

 Sub-sp. II. belia belina, Fruhst. 



The topical form of //. belia occurs in Java and 

 Sumatra, the two sub-species mentioned above in 

 Borneo, another (H. bel. linteata, Butl.) in the Malay 

 Peninsula, and a fourth in Java. Distant (Rhop. Malay 

 p. 406) records H. linteata, Butl. from Banjermassin, but 

 this is probably the same as sub-sp. belina. 



Genus Nectaria. 

 #. Nectaria leuconoe, Erichs. 



Idea leuconoe, Erichs. Nova Acta. Ac. Nat. Cur. xvi 



p. 283 (1834). 

 Sub-sp. N. leuconoe nigriana, Grose-Smith. 



North Borneo, Taganac Island. 

 Sub-sp. N. leuconoe chersonesia, Fruhst. 



South Sarawak, Malay Peninsula, Singapore and 

 adjacent islands, Billiton. 

 Sub-sp. ^V. leuconoe natunensis, Swell. 



I am not at all certain that the varieties and local 

 races of this species are all worthy of sub-specific rank; 

 Natunensis in especial seems to possess no well-marked 

 characteristics. In the Sarawak Museum collection 

 there is a male from Buntal, Sarawak, which might be 

 either nigriaaa or natunensis and a female from Trusan, N. 

 Sarawak is intermediate in character between niqriana or 

 , chersonesia. Other sub-species occur in Japan, Philippines 

 Palawan, Talaut, Sangir, Java, Engano. 

 The species frequents the sea-shore. 



Genus Ideopsis. 

 4. Ideopsis daos, Boisd. 



Idea daos, Boisduval, Spec. Gen. Lep. I, pi. 24. f . 3 (1836). 

 Borneo and Lingga Archipelago, with sub-species n, 

 Singapore, Penang, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Niasi 

 China, Hongkong.
