1872. J MR. F. MOORE ON NEW INDIAN LEPIDOPTERA. 561 



Hab. N.W. Himalaya (Simla, Masuri). In Coll. Capt. A. M. 

 Lang and F. Moore. 



Neptis varmona. 



Has much the appearance of the European N. asceris in the 

 more elongated form of the wings and in the less defined markings 

 of the upperside, which, in the male, are more like those of the 

 European species than in N. astola. The colour of the underside is 

 duller and more yellow, and the black borders of the markings are 

 still more prominent than in N. astola, the veins of the fore wing 

 being streaked with black in front of the triangular discoidal spot. 



Expanse If to 2 inches. 



Hab. Mountains of S. India (Matheran ; Neilgherries). In Coll. 

 F. Moore. 



Neptis emodes. (Plate XXXII. fig. 2.) 



Male and female. Upperside blackish fuliginous ; markings dis- 

 posed as in N. astola, but smaller, narrower, and of a brownish 

 white colour. Underside bright dark ferruginous red ; markings 

 very prominent and black bordered. 



Expanse, ^ 2, $ 2§ inches. 



Hab. S.E. Himalayas (Nepal, Sikkim, Khasia Hills). In Coll. 

 F. Moore. 



Neptis leucothoe. 



Papilio leucothoe, Cram. Pap. Exot. iv. pi. 296. figs. E, F (1792) 



Acca mututa, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 44. 



This species may be readily distinguished from N. surakarta by 

 the outer marginal row of spots on the fore wing being small or 

 nearly obsolete, and the outer lunular band on the hind wing being 

 very narrow, and suffused with brown. 



Expanse 2 to 1\ inches. 



Hab. Java, Borneo. In Coll. F. Moore. 



Note. — Cramer gives "Java, China, and Coromandel" as the 

 habitats of his P. leucothoe ; specimens from Java only, however, 

 are identical with his figure, those from China and Coromandel being 

 quite distinct species. 



Neptis surakarta. 



A large broad-winged species, similar to N. leucothoe of Cramer, 

 but with the markings of the upperside in both sexes broader, larger, 

 and of a yellowish-white colour ; the lunular spots of the outer bands 

 are also broader than in that species. Underside bright ferruginous 

 red. 



Expanse 2 to 2\ inches. 



Hab. Java. Coll. F. Moore.
