48. Neptis eurynome, Wistiuood (fig. 13, underside and PI C. Fig. 12, 

 male). — Male and temale upperxUh in the dry season are black, with pure 

 white markings. Forewing : discoidal streak clavaie. apically truncate, sub- 

 apically eiiher notched or sonietimes indistirctjy divided ; Irangular spot 

 bisyond broad, well-defined acute at the apex, but not eh ngale ; discal 

 series of spots separate, not connate, each about twice as longas bread : postdis- 

 cal transverse series of small spots incomplete, but sume are always pi-esenfc. 

 Hi' dwing : subbasai band of even or nearly even width ; discal and subter- 

 minal pale lines obscure ; postdiscal seiies of spots well separated, quad- 

 rate or subquadrate, very seldim narrow. Umhrmie from pale golden 

 ochraceous to dark ochraceous, almost chocolate ; wliite markings as on 

 upperside but broader and defii ed wiih black. Forewii g : inteispaces la and 

 1 from base to near apex shaded with black, some transveise white markings 

 on either side of the transveise postdiscal series of snjall spots. Hindwirg : 

 a streak of white on costal margin at base, a more slender white streak bdow 

 it ; the discal and subterminal pale lines of ihe upperside leplaced by narrow 

 white lines with still narrower margins of black. Antennae, head, thorax and 

 abdomea black ; the palpi, thorax and abdomen beneath du&ky ■white, E.\p. 

 44 70mm. 



The wei senxon /brm differs only in the narrowness of the white markings 

 and in the slightly daiker ground colour and broader black margins to the 

 spots and bands on fclie underside. 



Lunui. — The larva is not unlike that of Ruhinda in shape, but is 

 different in aspect, being much rougher owing to more developed and 

 somewhat densely set tubercles all over the surface ; the place of the 

 points on segments 3, 4, 6, 12 is taken by bent fleshy processes, also 

 set with tubercles, each bearing a short hair, as do those of the body » 

 these tubercles somewhat, flattened and geneially cuived out ai d down- 

 wards; being flashy, they are to some extent eiectile ; the pair on segment 

 4 bemg moie than twice the length of the others, those on segment G the 

 smallest ; those of segment 4 are connected by a distinct stiaight ridge, those of 

 segments 3 and 6 also, but to a lesser degree ; the head is peihaps a little higher 

 than in the second form of Rahhuli honlonia and the vertex points are some- 

 what moie developed and sharp instead of blunt, and further apait, divided 

 by a rounded sinus, tho surface a good deal rougher tubeiculate; clypena 

 small as in the other ; the surface covered wi.h tubeicles, of which one on 

 each side of clypeus-apex and two on middle of face of upper part of each 

 lobe much larger than the rest ; all tubeicles of head and body yellowish ; 

 the colour is similar, varying a good deal in shade, generally brown with the 

 saddle suffused with grey, a suffusion of ochreous mottled with brown and 

 with tlie stiipe on the place wheie the leg is or would be on segments T), G, 7. 

 The spiracles are similar, the anal flap tumid, as in that species ; the subsi)ira. 

 cular ledge is strongly developed on segments 0, 7, 8, and the tubeicles on it 

 longer and thorn-like, though thin ; the dorsal white line is piesent, though
