A LIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF BORNEO. 
Basal region fuscous. A dark fuscous band from apex to 
inner margin, a short hind-marginal band of dark fuscous, 
interrupted by the nervules, from anal angle to third median 
nervule, succeeded outwardly by thin edging of ground-colour 
along the middle of which runs a thin dark “fuscous line. 
Cilia fuscous. 
Underside, as in male; perhaps more orange-yellow than the 
yellow-buff of the male. 
Hap. al. 30 mm. 
Poritia pharyge, Hew. 
Poritia pharyge, Hewitson, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 
345 (1874). 
Labuan (Wahnes) ; North Borneo (Ind. Mus.) ; Sarawak: 
Lundu and Kuching—March to Sept.—(Sar. Mus.). 
Distribution: Siam, Perak, Penang, Sumatra and Jaya. 
‘The uppersides of two females in the Sarawak Museum are 
uniform dark fuscous in colour, and the undersides are fuscous 
agreeing well with the undersides of seven males; but a second 
female identified by Mr. Druce has the ground-colour of the 
underside a light straw colour: and the upperside has a well 
marked purple discal patch in the fore-wing, and traces of that 
colour in the disc of the hind-wing. 
Poritia pasira, sp. n. (Fig. 2). 
Mae. ..Upperside.,, Exactly like. preceding species (P. 
pharyge, Hew.) in every detail. Underside. Dull fuscous 
brown. Fore-wing: two almost imperceptible light thin 
parallel lines traverse the lower portion of the wing, one hind- 
marginal and the other discal: these two lines are continued a 
little more distinctly in hind-wing; the hind-marginal line 
becomes a little whiter towards anal angle, and is outwardly 
edged with dark fuscous. ‘The discal line remains parallel to 
hind-margin and joins the inner margin at end of abdomen. 
Below the 3rd and 2nd median nervules on this line are two 
dark brown spots; below Ist median nervule is a trace of 
another, 
FemMaLe. Upperside. Uniform dark fuscous; cilia light. 
Underside. Dull ochreous fuscous; basal region very slightly 
darker and bordered by dark ochreous line from centre of 
costa to centre of inner margin in fore-wing and continued 
across centre of hind-wing. A thin light line darkened on 
each side, runs parallel to hind-margin in both wings some 
5 mm. from discal line and 3 mm. from hind-mar gin, “slightly 
curved inwards towards costa of fore-wing. In the hind-wing, 
the discal lne is made prominent by two ochreous guttulate 
spots below 3rd and 2nd median nervules as in the male. The 
shape of the hind-margin distinguishes it from other species
