168 A LIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF BORNEO. 
Lehera anna, 2? H. H Druce, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. jp. 
680, pl. XXXI. fig. 8, 9 (1896). 
Mt. Kina Balu (Waterstradt); near Juching and Mt. 
Matang—2,000 ft. (Sar. Mus.). 
Confined to Borneo. 
As the male has not yet been recorded, I append a brief des- 
cription.! Curiously enough although some dozen males 
have been captured in Saraw ak, only one female has been taken 
as yet, and that quite recently (August 24th, 1911) ; the native 
collector reported having found it settled on the underside of a 
leaf. 
Upperside. Fore-wing: rich steely purple-blue with very 
narrow dark fuscous marginal border along the costa, a wider 
hind-marginal border which broadens towards apex. JZind- 
wing: same colour as in fore-wing, with narrow fuscous border 
along the costa; broader fuscous border along inner margin 
5 thickly clothed with long fur-hke modified “scales ? 2. (as “de 
Nicéville notes in Lehera ery, 6). Anal lobe metallic green 
(in some gold-green) slightly extending up inner margin. 
Underside, emerald-green. 
Fore-wing: indistinct white line from costa to inner margin 
rather nearer to hind-margin than in female. White patch 
along inner margin does not extend above submedian nervure 
as figured in female. Hind-wing: indistinct discal band as in 
female followed exteriorly by another similarly indistinct light 
band, two small white marks at base of anal lobe, which is itself 
jet black. ‘Tail very thin filamentous, dark ‘fuscous white- 
tipped. This last feature is in curious contrast to the long 
and stout white tails of the female. 
Injury. 6, large jagged bite removing anal region of left 
hind-wing. 
530a. Lehera anna var. fulva, nov. 
A single male in the Sarawak Museum differmg from the 
type form on underside only, which is rich ochreous instead 
of emerald-green. 
Loc. Mt. Matang, 3,200 ft. Sarawak. 
Type $ in Sarawak Museum. 
Lehera anna is closely allied to the Indian species L. eryzx, 
and possibly should be regarded as a local race only of that 
species. | Wood-Mason and de Nicéville describe a single 
female under the name Lehera skinneri, which they say only 
1. Mr. Druce has since informed me that the male has been described by 
Herr Fruhstorfer ; I am unable to give the reference.
