Ijiago. — Male. Foreioing elougated, subtriangular ; costa very slightly arched, 

 apex obtuse, exterior margin oblique, scalloped, posterior margin recurved ; first 

 subcostal branch emitted about one-fourth before end of the cell, second near the 

 end ; discocellulars very short ; cell open ; posterior border of the underside pale 

 glossy grey, enclosing a broad elongated greyish-brown patch of scales above the 

 submedian vein, these scales being similar to those in Phsedijma Heliodora. Hind- 

 wing broad, conically-ovate ; anterior margin very convex to the end, apex rounded, 

 exterior margin obliquely convex, scalloped, anal angle rounded; with a slender 

 glossy greyish-white basal costal baud, and a broad slightly glossed violet-grey 

 patch extending from above the costal vein to below the subcostals ; precostal vein 

 short, bent inward near its end ; costal vein long, much curved, aud extending to 

 the apex ; subcostal branch emitted from below first branch almost at the emission 

 of the latter from the costal; cell area shoi't, broad, open. Body rather stout; palpi 

 rather short, and stouter than in typical Neptis, pilose ; antennse slender ; eyes 

 naked. 



Caterpillar. — (Jumba) Somewhat fusiform, anterior and anal segments 

 narrowed, the middle segments thickened laterally ; armed with two dorsal 

 long anteriorly- divergent fleshy spiny processes on the fourth segment, and 

 two shorter posteriorly-divergent similar processes on the twelfth segment, two 

 very short dorsal spiny tubercles on the third and sixth segment. Head cleft and 

 pointed at the vertex. 



Chrysalis. — Suspended vertically. Abdomen slender, thorax much stouter 

 and broader, with sharp angular dorsal ridge ; wing cases expanded laterally ; head-
