A LIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF BORNEO. 81 
These and another male captured near Kuching in 1895 are 
the only three examples at present known. 
1. Allotinus pyxus, de Nicév. 
ee 
Paragerydus pyxus, de Nicéville, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 
Mole cba pin caNomliep. 2: ole hie, 2). (13894): 
Borneo: Sandakan, Sapagaya, Melikop, Labuan. 
“ Described from a single example received from the late 
Mi W. Davison: (de Nicév. /.c.). 
Mr. Druce (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. p. 652, 1896) reports 
several specimens from the above mentioned ‘healt. 
Allotinus borneensis, n. sp. 
Mate. Upperside. Dark brown. Fore-wing; uniform 
dark brown, except for an elongated narrow discal streak, 
starting on the median nervure at base of second median 
nervule, and continuing along the third median nervule to a 
point 2-3 mm, from the hind- -margin. Four whitish, generally 
indistinct, spots along the outer edge of costa as in A. hors- 
ficldi, Moore. Hind-wing; uniform dark brown. Underside. 
Light drab ground-colour, covered with small brown transverse 
strigae and spots, which give a light-brown mottled appearance. 
Fore-wing: three transverse strigae—at base, centre and end 
of cell-—are slightly larger than the rest. Inner marginal area 
is free from spots and strigae. Hind-margin bordered by a 
row of seven small inter-nervular black-brown spots, out- 
wardly edged with creamy white; the two spots nearest the 
ae have an additional touch of black-brown on the outer edge 
the white. /ind-wing: basal and imner-marginal region 
slightly freer from spots and strigae. Fusion of spots forms 
three large strigae situated above and below the second sub- 
costal nervule and at end of cell: ; a rough sub-marginal row 
of smaller transverse strigae; hind- marginal row of small 
black-brown-spots as in fore-wing, except that the whitish outer 
edging is very much reduced. Cilia light drab as ground- 
colour in both wings. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen 
concolorous with the wings; below: palpi, thorax and ab- 
domen whitish. 
FEMALE. Upperside. Dark-brown. VFore-wing: uniform 
dark-brown. Four whitish spots along the outer edge of the 
costa as in the male. MHind-wing: uniform dark-brown. 
Much more square than the male, a peculiarity which is formed 
by the extension of the third median nervule into the anal 
angle so as to suggest a rudimentary tail.1 
1. Druce remarks on A. caudatus, female, that this extension of the third 
median nervule so as to form a blunt tail, distinguishes that species (caudatus) 
from all others in the genus. Mr. Druce who kindly examined this species for 
me, remarks that it is unknown to him, so that borneensis is the third ‘‘ tailed’’ 
Allotinus to be described, for the female of A. panormis, Elwes, also has this 
peculiarity.
