136 MR. F. MOORE ON NEW [Feb. 4, 



Their eyes are large and brilliant, their ears large, and their hands 

 beautifully perfect, with ordinary-sized nails on each finger, except 

 the second of the hind hands, which is furnished with the long 

 scratching-claw. 



They bring forth two, and soraetiraes three at a birth ; but I have 

 had none breed in captivity.

 DANAINiE. 



Danais PERSiMiLis, n. sp. 



Nearest allied to D. exprompta, Butler (the Ceylon form of D. 

 juventa), but is much smaller in size. The markings are similar ; 

 but those from the base of the wings are very much more attenuated 

 and shorter, and the discal spots also smaller, the markings on the 

 hind wing being more attenuated than those in D. grammica. 



Expanse 2| inches. 



Hab. Petchaburree, Bankok District, Siam (April 12, 1875). 

 In coll. R. Meldola and F. Moore. 



NyMPHALINjE. 



Neptis camboja, n. sp. 



Male. Upperside — fore wing with a pale ferruginous broad longi- 

 tudinal band from the base to beyond the cell, a broad oblique sub- 

 apical and a constricted lower band ; also two very narrow indistinct 

 ferruginous marginal lines : hind wing with a broad ferruginous 

 transverse discal, and narrow slightly curved submarginal band ; also 

 a single very narrow and indistinct ferruginous marginal line. 

 Underside pale yellowish ferruginous ; bands as above, but indis- 

 tinctly defined. 



Expanse 1| inch. 



Hab. Cambodia (Mouhot). In coll. N. C. Tuely, Esq. 



AUied to N. dindinga, Butler, from Malacca. Also allied to N. 

 heliodore, Fabr., from Siam (the type specimen of which is in the 

 Banksian cabinet in the British Museum), but differs above on the 

 fore wing in the discoidal streak not extending over the median vein, 

 and in the submarginal band on the hind wing being narrower. On 

 the underside these differences also occur, and the dark interspace 

 between the bands on the hind wing is also narrower. 



Neptis sintjata, n. sp. 



Allied to N. hordonia, Stoll. Differs on the upperside in the bands 

 having deeply sinuated borders. Underside also paler; the strigse 

 less prominent, and disposed in more blotchy patches. 



Expanse, S If, $ l| inch.
