154 A LIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF BORNEO, 
Taken all the year round in Sarawak; only one female in a 
series of twenty specimens in the Sarawak Museum. ‘The 
undersides vary a good deal in the intensity of the brown 
colouring and the transverse line in most of the examples be- 
fore me is much straighter than in the Indian example figured 
by de Niceville in Butterflies of India.

Evidently a rare species. Distant records a single specimen 
from Penang and one unlocalised example in the collection of 
Mr. F. Moore. Druce records a single female from Sarawak ; 
and there is a pair in the Sarawak “Museum, taken in March 
1898 and April 1902 on the summit of Mt. Matang. In regard 
to the position of this genus, Distant placed it between Cheri- 
tra and Neomyrina ; de Nicéville referred it to his Thecla 
(Group, placing it next to Tajuria. Druce suggested it was 
more likely to be related to Cheritra, and the discovery of the 
male with secondary sexual characters helps to bear this sn 
De Nicéville judged from Distant’s figure that the tails wer 
not long enough for inclusion in his Wyrina (rroup, hence ee 
reason for reference to the Thecla (rroup. 
However the inner tails of the Sarawak examples reach the 
required half-inch, so I include it now in the Myrina (Cheri- 
traria, mihi) Group.

attention should be paid to the neuration depicted. as it unfortunately suffers 
from the over-zealous attentions of the reproducer.
