Text
Page 18, 1st column, 2nd paragraph, line 12: “Sahel” should read “Sahul”.
Pages 221, 367: Jamides talinga should be Jamides talinga talinga. A new subspecies, Jamides talinga
renonga, was described from Thailand (Kimura & Saito, 2014).
Pages 248, 370: A. agaba should read A. agaba agaba. [A new subspecies, Arhopala agaba aborigina,
was described from Vietnam (Monastyrskii, 2012)].
Page 248 - second column, last sentence should read “...and hellenore has not been seen in Borneo”.
Page 254 - Neomyrina nivea periculosa: To this account add the following: Subspecies hiemalis is foundin Langkawi Island; in the male, the black bordering of the forewing apex upperside is more
extensive and more jagged on the inner edge than in periculosa.
Page 269: Genus Sukidion: ....“and is known from only two males from Borneo.” should read... “and isknown from two males and one female from Borneo; the female was described by Seki et al.
(1991).”
Pages 270, 271, 272, 374, 445, 484 (caption 299): Tajuria berensis should read berenis, which is theoriginal spelling. Seitz (Seitz, A. 1908–1928. Macrolepidoptera of the world. Vol. 9; page 972.)
spelt it as berensis, in error, which was followed by many later authors including Corbet (1940)and Eliot in C&P 4.
Page 273: Britomartis cleoboides viga: amend the last sentence to read: “A further two similar species,B. igarashii and B. bravurus, are found in Borneo.”
Page 371: Add the following note to Arhopala abseus abseus: Seki & Sasaki (2010) transferred abseusfrom genus Arhopala to Flos based on Megens et al. (2004) and the similarity of abseus’ larva
to those of Flos. Megens et al. wrote only that abseus was an ‘apparent’ sister-taxa to Flos, andhad included only one species of Flos in the study. The larva of abseus is similar to those of
Flos but several taxa of Arhopala also have larvae with markings though not identical to thoseof Flos. This renaming has not been widely adopted (e.g. Khew, 2015). Indeed, abseus has been
noted to be an unusual Arhopala as reflected by one of its common names, Aberrant Bushblue.

Page 374: Add the following note to Bullis stigmata: Seki (1997) described the populations in theCameron Highlands as a new subspecies, Bullis stigmata sylvicola, based on 2 males. Neither
Eliot & Kirton (2000) nor Eliot (2006) made reference to this new subspecies designation.
Page 386, 2nd column, 1st paragraph: Erionota hislopi is listed in error as being endemic; it is not.
Page 401: Note {175}: Add the following: Yago et al. (2005) synonmyized periculosa with nivea andraised hiemalis to species status based on wing morphology, genitalia and molecular work using
a single mitochondrial gene but this reclassification has not been widely adopted (e.g. Kirton, 2018).
Page 416: the citation of Holt et al. is missing the date, which is 2013.
