542 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE BUTTERFLIES OF MALACCA. 



Columella Group. 



6. Neptis columella, {Papilio columella) Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. pi. 2,96. figs. A, B 

 (1782). <S ? ., Malacca. 



Tiga Group. 



7. Neptis lobelia, n. sp. (PL LXVIII. fig. 3.) 'Papilio heliodore, Fabricius (nee 

 Cramer nee Moore), Mant. Ins. ii. p. 52. n. 516 (1787). S ? , Malacca. 



The type of the Fabrieian species differs from the examples of N. tiga in the Horsfield 

 Cabinet from Java in having a single instead of a double central arched line across the 

 under surface of the secondaries ; this line is, in some examples, slightly thickened. 



8. Neptis tiga, Moore, Proe. Zool. Soc. p. 4 n. 3 (1858). <? ? , Malacca. This 

 species agrees with an example in the Banksian cabinet, but not with the Pabrician 

 type ; there are two central brown curved lines across the underside of the secondaries, 

 partially or wholly filled in with paler brown. 



9. Neptis pabaka, n. sp. (PI. LXTIII. fig. 2.) Almost exactly like N. horclonia 

 above, but brighter in colour, and with the tawny bands rather broader ; the submarginal 

 tawny streak of primaries deeply bisinuate so as to form two wide arches, and intersected 

 by a black line. "Wings below ochre-yellow, the black portions of the upper surface 

 represented by brownish stains, and partially blotched with grey : the basal area of 

 secondaries crossed by two blaek oblique liturse ; the centre band bordered by two inter- 

 rupted black lines ; the outer border intersected (above the indication of the submarginal 

 tawny line of the upper surface) by a slightly waved black line. Expanse of wings 1 inch 

 7 to 10 lines. $ ? , Malacca. The typical ffl, helioclora very nearly resembles this 

 species on the upper surface ; but below it is very different. 



10. Neptis dindinga, n. sp. (PI. LXVIII. fig. 6.) Larger than W. heliodora, the 

 bands broader, particularly the eentral band of secondaries, which is twice as broad and 

 extends nearly to the base; subapical patch of primaries twice as wide, and deeply 

 indented in the centre of its inner border ; submarginal tawny streak replaced by pale 

 brown (but intersected by the black line) in the primaries, tawny but extremely slender 

 in the secondaries. Differences below much as above ; discal band of secondaries broad 

 and black, and intersected by a whity-brown streak. Expanse of wings 2 inches. 



? , Malacca. 



We have a specimen in the British Museum from Moulmein, which measures 2 inches 

 2 lines in expanse. It is a well-marked species. 



11. Neptis hordonia, (<?, Papilio hordonia) Stoll, Suppl. Cram. pL. 33. figs. 4, 4 D 

 (1790). ? , Malacca.
