as usual much more so in the female than in the male, 

 nearest in coloration to K. Hiiegeli, Kollar, but different in 

 colour to any Inclo-Malayan species ; the yellow band on 

 fore wings is more ochreous and the blue particles with which 

 the base and lower portions of fore wings are densely covered 

 and with which the whole of the hind wings is more or less 

 suffused is of a very peculiar shade of colour. The underside 

 represents the usual varieties of the dried leaf pattern.

Omei-sh an, China (iS'^evews). Five examples. 



I called Mr. Leech's attention to the distinctive character 

 of this species last November; but he has included it in the 

 species K. inacliis in his fine work on the Lepidoptera of 

 China, Japan, and Corea. No doubt the genus Kallima has 

 been split up into too many so-called species, but this insect 

 is very distinctive, and I venture to say one could at a glance 

 pick out all the examples of this species from a collection of 

 Kallimas, however large it might be. 



Genus Neptis, Fabr. 

 Neptis disopa^ sp. n. 



$ $. Upperside brown-black, bands orange-red. Fore wings 

 with a longitudinal streak from base of wing, indented above 

 at end of cell ; a subapical oblique band divided by the veins 

 into three parts ; a large discal spot with the second median 

 veinlet running through its upper portion and a band of three 

 smaller spots below it inwardly oblique, touching the hinder 

 margin and merely divided by the submedian vein. Hind 

 wings with an inner band slightly recurved and an outer band 

 nearly even with the outer margin, both bands of about the 

 same width ; a very faint indication of a submarginal line. 

 Underside dark ferruginous, with the longitudinal and oblique 

 bands on fore wings ochreous, and two submarginal grey lines 

 or thin bands. Hind wings with a thin grey band below the 

 inner band which is nearly pure white, the outer band tinged 

 with ochreous, and the submarginal line distinct and grey.

Mr. Leech, in the ' Lepidoptera of China, Japan, and 

 Corea,' calls this insect Neptis miah, Moore. 1 have a long 

 series of N. miah^ which is a species apparently confined to 

 the Indian region. This species constantly differs from 

 JV. miah in many respects, particularly in the character of the 

 bands of the hind wings above, the inner and outer bands 

 being of almost equal breadth, which is never the case in
