Form and pattern of P. gamhrisius^ ground-colour of the 

 wings light brassy green : fore wing with the white spots as 

 in P. cyaneus ; black markings not so prominent, but some- 

 what confluent and leaving little interspaces between the mar- 

 ginal series, the submarginal row on hind wing being very 

 broadlj conical.

Hah. Calicut, Malabar coast. In coll. F. Moore. 



Neptis sangaica. 



Male and female. Upperside black, markings white : fore 

 wing with short discoidal streak and large contiguous spot, a 

 discal transverse curved series of broad spots, and a marginal 

 row of prominent small lunular spots ; hind wing with bi'oad 

 subbasal incurved band, and a broad outer maculated band. 

 Underside dark ferruginous ; fore wing with black-bordered 

 markings as above ; hind wing with black-bordered markings 

 as above, also two short basal white streaks, an ill-defined 

 white lunular line between the two broad bands, and a 

 narrow whitish line on the extreme outer margin. 



Exp. S 2, ? 2f inches. 



Hah. 8nowy Valley, Province Chekiang. In coll. W. B. 

 Pryer and F. Moore. 



Most nearly allied to N. alompra from Assam, and quite 

 different from N. eurynome^nx^j be distinguished by the absence 

 on both the upper and underside of the hind wing of the nar- 

 row submarginal white lunular line. 



Atliyma Pryeri. 



Male. Near to A. Helmanni from the Altai, but differs from 

 the same sex of that species in its larger size, the fore wing 

 being more produced at the apex, this wing above having the 

 markings more prominent and longer, and a distinct marginal 

 row of white streaks ; the band on the hind wing is also 

 broader, and there is a very prominent marginal row of white 

 streaks. Underside similarly but more prominently marked ; 

 the marginal white streaks on hind wing also prominent (these 

 being nearly obsolete, both above and beneath, in^. Helmanni) j 

 with broader interspace between them and the median band. 



Exp. 2| inches. 



Hah. Snowy Valley, Province Chekiang. In coll. W. B. 

 Pryer. 



The markings in this form have much the appearance of 

 those in A. sulintia, Cram.
