Neptis Ampliata, Butler, " Annals and Magazine of Natural History," 

 Ser. 5, Vol. X., p. 42 (1882). 



Exp. 1\ inches. 



Male. "Allied to N. Latifasciata, Butler, from which it differs in the 

 greater size of the white spots of the primaries, and the much greater width 

 and more oval form of the central white belt of the secondaries; the outer 

 edge of this belt is strongly undulated." 



"As N. Latifasciata is a common representative of the N. HeUodora 

 (Cram.) group, occurring at Cape York, it is hardly necessary to give a detailed 

 description of the above species." 



Hab. New Britain and Duke of York Island. 



In the Collections of tlie British Museum, H. Grose-Smith, and others. 



X.— NEPTIS ELEUTHEEA. ? . Figs. 3, 4. 



Neptis Ekuthera. 



Exp. 2f inches. 



Female. Upperside closely resembles Keptis Ampliata, but the middle 

 spot in the discal row of spots on the anterior wings of that species is absent, 

 and there is no white spot in the middle of the inner margin as in ^Y. Ampliata. 

 On the posterior wings the band of white spots which crosses the middle of the 

 wings is wider and of more uniform width than in N. Ampliata, and the spots 

 are clustered more closely together ; a submarginal baud of broad white bars 

 extends round the wings, with an indication of a second band between it and 

 the central band.
