92 Mr. A. G. Butler ow Rhopalocera 



There can be no question that, whereas the male described 

 and figured by M^nltrids is a Pararge allied to P. deidamia 

 and P. dejanira, the female is a Neope not verj widely sepa- 

 rated from iV^ Gaschkevitsehn ; it is far more nearly allied to 

 the succeeding species than to the male associated with it. 



Neope callipterts, n. sp. 



(^ . Bronzy olive-brown ; external area smoky brown ; 

 outer border paler, lunated : primaries with a discal series of 

 ochraceous spots, forking above the third median branch ; the 

 veins upon the central region densely clothed with dark brown 

 scales, especially the submedian vein and the three median 

 branches ; two dusky streaks across the apical half of the cell : 

 secondaries with six ochraceous spots, the first, second, fourth, 

 and fifth oval and enclosing large, ovate, black spots, the last 

 small, ti'ansverse, enclosing two small black spots : body bronzy 

 brown 5 thorax reddish in front, greenish in the centre. Wings 

 below altogether paler, sandy yellowish; external area dusky :

 colour ; three pale subapical spots, the uppermost trifid, the 

 second ocelliform ; a lunulated submarginal stripe : secondaries 

 with the basal area slightly dusky, three pale-edged dusky lines 

 from the costal nervure across the cell; a lunated and angulated, 

 diffused, brown, discal line bounding the ocelli internally ; six 

 ocelli, the first and fifth large, the third extremely minute, the

 spots of the same colour close to the margin ; edge of margin 

 black ; fringe white-varied : body below sordid whitish ; legs 

 ochreous. Expanse of wings 2 inches 7 lines. 



From the same locality as the preceding species, to which 

 it is allied. 



Neptis ludmiUa, Herrich-SchafFer. 



This species, which was taken at the same locality with the 

 preceding species, is new to Japan. 



Vanessa hamigera^ n. sp. 



Allied to V. agni and V. comma. 



Wings above bright orange tawny ; basal area bronzy 

 brown ; outer border golden brown, flecked with black ; fringe
