A LIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF BORNEO. 
Arhopala shelfordi, n. sp. 
FemMaLe. Upperside. Discal patch of bright violet-blue 
bordered very broadly with brown-fuscous. Fore- -wing: costa 
well-arched ; fuscous margin broad along the costa to first sub- 
costal nervy ule, thence diagonally across the wing, closing cell 
and leaving the apical half broad fuscous and hind- marginal 
border of same. Hind-wing: small violet patch covering the 
cell and very shghtly extending above and beyond it; a “dark 
line across the end of cell; rest of the wing dark brown-fuscous. 
No tails. ‘Underside. Rich red-brown, ‘clear spotted. Fore- 
wing: three regular increasing cell-spots, a small indistinct spot 
above and below the third cell-spot ; a continuous transverse 
band slightly sinuous, composed of 6 spots; the 1st small and 
indistinct, forming with the next two a slight outward and 
convex curve, the Hth shifted outw: ard, the 5th and 6th slightly 
out again. A faint hind-marginal row of lightly-edged spots ; 
anal inner-marginal region extending to first median nerv ule, 
hight brown. Hind- -wing: a small and indistinct costal-basal 
spot; a sub-basal row of 4+ well-defined spots, the third of 
which is shifted outwards; a median row of three larger spots ; 
a long spot closing cell with small spot in the nervular angles 
immediately above and below; the transverse band composed of 
7 well-defined spots ; the 1st isolated, the next 5 continuous, of 
which the 2nd is large, the 3rd and 4th immediately below it 
and fused, the 5th and 6th fused and shghtly shifted in, the 
ith, or angular spot, long and stretching across to the inner 
margin. A continuous hind-marginal row of spots as in fore- 
wing; three dark spots at anal angle relieved inwardly with 
light iridescent blue, the outward spot separated from the 
other two. Cilla brown fuscous. 
Kap, al. 2 40 mm. 
Type. Female, near Kuching, Sarawak, January 17th 1910 
(Sar. Mus.). 
Three other examples from the same locality in the Sarawak 
Museum, and two (e coll. Sar. Mus.) in Mr. Druce’s collection. 
Examined by Messrs. Bethune-Baker and Druce, who pro- 
nounced the species as unknown to them. 
Arhopala rajah, 1. sp. 
Mae. Upperside. Lustrous violet-purple broadly margin- 
ed with glossy brown-fuscous. Rather narrow sub- acute fore- 
wings as in A, buddha, Bethune-Baker. Fore-wing: the discal 
region of lustrous purple is sharply defined by the fuseous 
border, which follows the sub-costal nervure, closes the cell 
and stretches across diagonally and rather irregularly, to form 
an even hind-marginal border 3 millim. in width and slightly 
diffuse along inner margin. A dark spot is noticeable at the 
end of cell. Hind-wing: long, bright purple discal patch, 
sharply defined as in fore-wing but more restricted in area,
