10 NYMPHALID^. — NYMPHALIN^:. NEPTIS. 



Underside. Anterior wings closely resemble those of N. AmpUata, but the 

 ground-colour is tinged with a pinkish shade. On the posterior wings the sub- 

 basal white spot in A'. Ampliata is absent, and there is a row of white lines on 

 either side of the submarginal band of broad white bars.

The anterior wings of this species are somewhat less elongate towards the apex than those 

 of N. AmpUata. Mr. Moore places N. Ampliaia and allied species in his genus Hamadryodes. 



XI.— NEPTIS EONENSIS. $ . Fig. 5. ? . Figs. G, 7. 



Neptis Eoncnsis. 



Exp. 2f inches. 



Male. Upperside dark brown, anterior wings with a rather long basal 

 streak in the cell, a quadrate spot in the middle, and a conical spot at the end ; 

 a round white spot on the disc between the two upper median nervules, and a 

 minute spot above it near the costa a little beyond its middle, a submarginal 

 row of five spots, of which the lowest but one is the largest. 



Posterior wings with a band of white spots crossing the wings a little 

 before the middle, the outermost crossing the cell, the others becoming smaller 

 and narrower to the inner margin ; a submarginal row of small white spots 

 crosses the disc. All the spots greenish-white, and for the most part irrorated 

 with greyish-brown scales. 



Underside. Anterior wings with spots as above, but larger, an additional 

 spot between the middle and lowest median nervule, and an additional outer 

 row of small spots before the outer margin. 



Posterior wings with a spot on the costa at the base, two others near the 

 base, and a grey streak below the costal nervure ; the w^hite band before the 

 middle is wider than on the upperside and somewhat diffused outwardly, and 

 there is an additional row of small white streaks before the outer margin. 



The female resembles the male, but the additional spots on the underside 

 of the male are developed on the upper-side of the female, and on the posterior 

 wings the white band before the middle is wider and more elongate, the band 

 on the underside being bordered outwardly by a row of small spots, contiguous 

 with the band.
