122 BUTTERFLIES OF [BORNEO. 



198. Euthalia (Euthalia) eriphyle, de N. 



Eutlialia eripht/le, de Nice>ille, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Eist 

 Soc. 1891, p. 353, pi. F. fig. 7. 



From the Khasias, Tenasserim, Sumatra and Borneo. 



The Sarawak Museum collection contains a specimen 

 that I believe to be the female of this species ; it is like 

 the female of E. parta, Moore but is smaller and darker 

 in colour. 



Pryer and Cator in the British North Borneo Herald 

 1894 give the following new species of Euthalia from 

 N. Borneo : — E. halimah, E. vesta, E. abayah, E. laka- 

 yah, E. borneensis, no descriptions accompany these 

 names which can now be dismissed as valueless. 



Genus Tancecia. 



Butler in a recent paper on this genus (A.M.N. H. 

 (7) vol. viii. p. 356, 1901) admits no less than fifteen 

 species from Borneo xsi of which he describes as new, 

 three being described from single specimens ; I cannot 

 help thinking that this list is far too long a one and 

 that many of the species are mere varietal forms or 

 aberrations. It is impossible however to judge without 

 a careful comparison of the types aided by dissection of 

 the male genital armature, and I quote therefore on 

 Butler's species with one or two slight modifications. 



199. Tancecia orphne, Butl. 



Tancecia orphne, Butl. A.M.N.H. 1870, p. 362. 



Confined to Borneo. Fruhstorfer considers T. orphne 

 to be the male of T. vahnikis, Feld. but Butler denies 

 this, the British Museum collection containing both 

 sexes of the species. 



200. Tancecia consanguinea, Dist. 



Tancecia consan guinea, Distant, Entom. 1866, p. 11. 

 Confined to Borneo. 



Jour, Straits Branch
