African Species of the Genus Neptis. 561 
component white spots are generally cut off nearly straight, and they 
are not liable to so prominent a projection in 4 and 5. This feature 
is perhaps even more evident on the underside. 
This species was noted in the field by Dr. Neave as being 
apparently distinct from agatha. He states that it was 
decidedly local, frequenting hot dry localities, and having 
a more restless, active, and less floating flight.

Suffert’s description is as follows :— 
Length of body 16mm. Expanse 44mm. _ Body blackish above, 
grey below. Upperside. Ground-colour grey black, markings 
white. F.-w. discal band formed of six spots in 2-6 and 9, proxim- 
ally fairly straight and sharply defined from the ground-colour. 
Distally curved and not well defined. At nervule 4 on both sides 
an indentation, the nervule very black and slightly dividing the band. 
An inner marginal spot in la and 1b, 6 mm. wide at margin, rounded 
anteriorly, rather nearer the margin than the base. Three round 
dots in cell and two elongated spots at cell end. Four transverse 
submarginal lines, the first—counting from base outwards—just 
beyond discal band, very diffuse, formed of obsolescent whitish spots, 
the second consisting of eight more distinct white streaks broadly 
interrupted by the ground-colour, the third of eight narrow loosely 
connected streaks, the last very slender and scarcely recognisable. 
Fringes black, white between nervules. 
H.-w. with a discal band of seven spots in la to 5; proximal edge 
well defined, the distal in la to 2 also well defined, in 3 to 5 suffused. — 
The two first lines very indistinct, rather showing through from 
beneath, the third narrow, in le to 6 distally rounded, the outer- 
most also narrow and closely approximated. Fringes black, white 
between nervules. 
Underside. F.-w. ground-colour and markings generally as above, 
with the exception of the cell which shows seven spots, and four 
dots in base of 4 to 6 and 10, between cell end and discal band. The 
four submarginal lines heavier than above. 
H.-w. discal band and lines as above, latter more distinct. Three 
basal bands, the first extending along costa to middle of 8. The 
second from inner margin to base of nervules 7 and 8 and extending 
slightly into area 7, the outermost from la at inner margin through
