 I'ouphly following- their contour a line somewhat paler than the ground-colour, 

 followed by a band of more or less rounded dark internervulnr marks, this 

 followed agnin by three paler lines forming a hind-marginal border. Fringes 

 dotted white between the. nervules. Hind wing with a white discal band of 

 regular outline, 4 mm. wide on inner margin and rather broader in 5, thence 

 narrowing to a small spot in 7. Distal to the white band a border similar to 

 that on fore wing. 



Underside. Ground-colour paler than above. Costa white at base and as 

 far ns r-ell end. In cell a white line on subcostal curving outwards and down- 

 wards, its end pointing to origin of nervule 3. On end of cell a white trans- 

 verse line, and beyond this, indications of a second indistinct line. Discal 

 white .'^pots as above, but snbapical patch extends into 10. The border 

 ornamentation of pale lines much accentuated, owing to increased whiteness 

 of lines, and an additional fine marginal line. 



Hind wing broAvn at base, but with a conspicuous curved lohite costal bar 

 from hase. fo end of %. Two indistinct narrow whitish streaks on dark ground. 

 Discal band as above, and beyond it a border of same pattern as in fore wing.

J^eptis poiilfoni closely resembles nemetea nemefes Hew., and also, 

 but less closely, triqonnplwra Butl. From nemetes it is at once distin- 

 o-uished 1>y the curved white distal band in hind-wing underside, and 

 from trif/onopltora by the underside pattern of the hind margins of both 

 wings. The male armature is quite distinct. 



Neptis barnsi, sp. n. 



Expanse 55-60 mm. Ground-colour sepia-black with white markings. 

 Five white dots in cell of fore wing, and traces of two minute dots beyond. 

 An inner marginal white patch of two elongated spots in 1 a and 1 h, their 

 proximal edges straight, outer ends slightly separated. In 2 and 3 two white 

 marks, proximallj^ just separated by nervule 3, but distally more widely diver- 

 gent. In area 4 an obsolescent white streak (in some co-types well developed). 

 In 5 and 6 elongated spots divided by nervule 6 and distally divergent. A small 

 spot in 9 near costa. Distal to white markings and roughly following their 

 contour a fine line of bluish-grey scales which is thrown into a series of arches 

 between the nervules. Following this, three bluish-grey lines continuous 

 except at the nervules. Fringes spotted white between the nervules. 



Hind wing with a discal white band about 5 mm. wide, rather narrower 

 at inner margin, slightly projecting proximally at median, and extending to 

 area 6. Distal edge of baud indented on nervules by the ground-colour and 

 slightly powdered with black between. Three bluish-grey submarginal lines 

 as on fore wing, and midway between the innermost of these and the discal 

 band a narrow line somewhat paler than the ground-colour. 



Underside. Ground-colour paler than above. Fore-wing costa white at 

 base and nearly to cell end. In cell a series of rather complicated white
