“ Not common ; some half-dozen specimens, nearly all damaged, 
taken at Murree (th and 11th August), all on the trunk of the 
same tree—a species of willow. Two or three seen on the wing: 
the flight appears to be particularly rapid.’—J. W. Y.

“Common at Murree, August and September ; seen as far as 
Thundiani.”—J. W. Y. 
The following species was sent under the same number and name 
(N. mahendra), but is perfectly distinct both in pattern and color- 
ation, being more nearly allied to NV. nandina of Darjiling and 
Nepal, which it apparently represents in Western India. 
17. NEPTIS YERBURII, Sp. n. 
3. Wingsabove of the size, form, and general aspect of N. mahendra, 
but the discoidal streak and spot beyond it as in N. duryodana, 
which it also resembles in having a pale irregular line across the 
primaries between the discal and submarginal spots, and a pale sub- 
marginal line on the secondaries. It differs from both species in 
having a complete submarginal series of white spots on the primaries, 
and a pale line through the centre of the black belt on the secon- 
daries ; further, it differs from N. mahendra in the greater obliquity 
of the subapical discal spots of the primaries: on the under surface 
the markings are very different, corresponding in almost all respects 
with those of NV. nandina ; the brown colouring, however, is olivaceous 
instead of rufous, and the brown belt across the secondaries does not 
taper towards the costa as in the Darjiling insect. Expanse of wings 
54 millim. 
Murree, 16th August, 1885. 
As we possess Moore's types of N. nandina, and as this species 
is certainly confounded with others in at least one large collection, 
it may be useful to point out that it is more closely allied to NV. soma 
(the types of which we also have in the Museum) than to any other 
named species ; in fact it differs from the latter only in its broader 
and yellower whitish bands and larger spots (of the same colour); 
the ground-colour below is a shade darker, but of a similar rufous 
hue. It is a larger, longer-winged species than NV. yerburii, has 
narrower bands and spots on the upper surface, and these markings 
are of a sordid yellowish tint instead of being snow-white.
