Neptis anjana. 



N. anjam, Moore, Trans. Ent, Soc. 1881, p. 309 ; Butt. Ind. ii. 

 p. 92. 



This species seems commoa in the Karen Hills at 4000-5000 feet, 

 A. single specimen was also sent from Perak by Doherty. 



Neptis cartica, var. burmana. 



N. cartica, Moore, P. Z. S. 1872, p. 562 ; Butt. Ind. ii. p. 89. 



N. burmana, de Nicev. Butt. Ind. ii. p. 89 (1886). 



A single female, which I can only refer to this species, was taken 

 by Doherty in the Karen Hills. It differs from females of N. cartica 

 from Sikkim in the points mentioned by de Niceville, except in the 

 hind wing below, and is not, in my opinion, specifically distinct from 

 that species, though more specimens are necessary to decide the 

 question. 



Neptis amba, var. carticoides. 



N. amba, Moore, P. Z. S. 185S, p. 7, t. xlix. 4 ; Butt. Ind. ii. 

 p. 88. 



N. carticoides, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1881, p. 309 ; Butt. Ind. 

 ii. p. 90. 



Several specimens from the Karen Hills, taken at 4000-5000 feet, 

 agree with Sikkim examples in my collection, but are somewhat 

 larger. I think that this form is much nearer to amba of the N.W. 

 Himalayas than to cartica, and is hardly separable from it. De 

 Niceville says the markings of carticoides are narrower and tinged 

 with fuliginous, but I find considerable variation in both respects in 

 amba, and the range of the species appears to be continuous. 



Neptis nata. 



N. nata, Moore, Cat. E. I. C. i. p. 168, t. ir. a. fig. 6 ; Butt. Ind. 

 ii. p. 100. 



IN. khasiana, Moore, P. Z. S. 1872, p. 562, t. xxxii. 7 ; Butt. 

 Ind. ii. p. 100. 



A single female from the Karen Hills agrees with the plate and 

 description of nata very fairly and with a specimen from Moulniein 

 taken by Major Adamson. Another specimen from him, marked 

 " Akyab, March '83, rare," is intermediate between nata .«md khasi^ 

 ana, of which I have two specimens, taken by Doherty in the 

 Dhansiri valley of Upper Assam. 



Neptis duryodana. 



N. duryodana, Moore, P. Z. S. 1858, p. 10, t. xlix. 8 j Butt. Ind. 

 ii. p. 101. 



Seems common at Perak. Very like the last above, but distin- 

 guished by the basal band of hind wing below being double instead of 



single
