Xepth DHnjoihnui, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858, p. 10, u. 21, t. 1!), f. 8. 



Female. Wiugs above dark fuscous. Anterior wings with the following white spots and markings :— 

 a long basal cellular streak gradually widening and terminating aliout apex of cell ; this is followed by a 

 long subtriangular spot placed between the lower discoidal and the first median nervules ; two large 

 subapical spots placed obliquely, divided by the upper discoidal nervule and preceded by two very small 

 subcostal spots ; two rounded discal spots divided by the second median nervule ; two smaller spots on 

 inner margin divided by the submedian nervure and a submarginal series of small spots directed obliquely 

 inward at apex, which are outwardly and inwardly margined with black; fringe alternately white. 

 Posterior wings with the following white markings :— a nearly straight transverse fascia near base and 

 a series of small subquadrate spots on outer third of wing, which are divided by the nervules, w'ith 

 the innermost obliquely detlexed towards anal angle; between these transverse white markings is a very 

 narrow pale fascia, and there is also a narrower and greyish submarginal one ; * fringe alternately white. 

 Wings beneath much paler and more or less olivaceous ; white markings as above, but larger ; on anterior 

 wings the submarginal series of spots are preceded and followed by grey lines, the inner one very strongly 

 waved ; the posterior wings have the basal costal margin white, an additional subbasal narrow whitish 

 fascia, the narrow discal intermediate fascia much paler and the submarginal one nearly white. I^ody 

 above fuscous, beneath greyish ; legs greyish, the intermediate and posterior tibiie and tarsi brownish. 



Exp. wings, 2 54 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Province Wellesley (coll. Dist.) ; Malacca (Brit. Mus.) — Borneo (Brit. Mus.). 



I have compared the female specimen here figured and described with the Bornean type 

 in the British Museum, and find the following slight varietal differences :— On the underside of 

 the anterior wings the cellular streak is not so strongly divided from the adjacent and following 

 spot; the broad white fascia on the posterior wings reaches the costal margin,! and the colour 

 beneath is also darker, but this is an inconstant character. 



11. Neptis charon. 



Netitis Cliaron, Butler, Ann. Nat. Hist. ser. 3, vol. xx. p. 400, t. i», f. 1 (1867). 



At present my whole knowledge of this species is represented by Mr. Butler's figure and 

 description, both of which are here reproduced.

 * In the figure here given this submarghial fascia is not sutiicieutly pale in hue. 



\ In another Malaccan specimen in the British Museniu this fascia does not extend to the cistal margin, thus agreeing 

 with the typical form of the species. 



X Sex not stated, but, from appearance of figure, probably female.
