Mr. C. O. Waterhouse on new Madagascar Coleoptera. 43 
New Britain. 
As N. latifasciata is a common representative of the N. 
heliodora group occurring at Cape York, it is hardly necessary 
to give a detailed description of the above species. 
16. Neptis fissizonata, sp. n. 
Near to NV. heliodora ; like it, black, with cream-coloured 
spots, but differing’ in the greater size of the discoidal spots of 
primaries, in the presence of a basal streak on these wings, in 
the narrower and more perfectly macular central band of 
secondaries, and in the presence of a well-defined series of 
eight discal cream-coloured spots on the secondaries. Ex- 
panse of wings 60 millim. 
Solomon Islands. 
17. Neptis eblis, sp. n. 
Probably most nearly allied to N. heliopolis ; black above, 
the outer half of the disk of all the wings occupied by three 
series of oval pale brown spots, the central series with large 
white pupils. Wings below paler; the three series of spots 
lilacine, the central series being, more strictly speaking, 
white, with lilacine edges: primaries with an additional large 
white spot in the cell; internal area pale brown: secondaries 
with a large white spot at base of cell: anterior legs white in 
front ; venter with two central creamy-whitish lines. Ex- 
panse of wings 69 millim. 
New Britain. 
This is the darkest Neptis known to me. 
The collection also contains two species of Charaxes new 
to the Museum series, viz. C. demonax, from New Britain, 
and C. jupiter, from Duke-of-Y ork Island.
