1 Fruhstorfer gives two subspecies from Borneo : alcine from Pontianak 
and virgo from northern Borneo. The Sarawak series embraces the small 
differences between the two, so I place them all under the older of the two 
names. Shelford recorded it as II. lynceus druryi, a name which has now 
become logani druryi and restricted for the Sumatran form of this species. 
2 Fruhstorfer again gives two subspecies from Borneo : favorinus from 
Kinabalu, west to Pontianak, and fumata from Amuntai and Banjermasin. 
This latter is distinguished by the dorsal part of the abdomen being “brown 
instead of deep black,” and “ the roundish patches of both wings above dull 
brown-black instead of deep black.” I have examples from Kinabalu and 
Sarawak before me, agreeing well with this description of the South 
Bornean form, and I therefore merge the two names under fumata (the older). 
There appears to be some difference of opinion as to the original habitat 
of Drury’s lynceus. Thus, Drury (1773) writes: “I received it from the 
island of Johanna, near Madagascar, in the Indian Ocean ”; de Niceville 
(1882) says there is “no doubt that the large Hestias from the Wynaad 
(India) are identical with H. lynceus , Drury ” ; Moore (1890) describes 
Hestia lynceus as “ the type of the genus ; with very elongated and narrow 
wings. Occurs only in Borneo ”; Bingham (1905) writes under Hestia , 
“Type, H. lyncea, Drury, from the Malay Peninsula”; and lastly, 
Fruhstorfer (1910) says, “ The name-type lynceus , Drury, probably came 
from Sumatra.” 
The Bornean examples before me differ from Drury’s figure in the 
distinct brown shade of the ground-colour and spots as opposed to his grey 
and black insect. 
3 Shelford gives the two Bornean subspecies as Hestia belia hypermnestra 
and Hestia belia belina Fruhst. This latter is a lighter form connected by 
transitions to typical hypermnestra. Westwood originally figured hyperm¬ 
nestra and belia on the same page, numbered figs. 1 and 2 respectively, so 
hypermnestra becomes the type of the species.
