In'do-Malatan Allied Spjecies op Neorina. — The other known species of this 

 genus are N. Loioii, Doubleday and Hewitson. Gen. D. Lep. p. 369, pi. 61, fig. 

 4 (1851). Distant, Ehop. Malay, p. 416, pi. 37, fig. 3 (1886). Staudinger, 

 Exot. Schmett. p. 223, pi. 79, c? (1887). Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. S. Bengal, 1889, 

 124) says, " I have often observed N. Loioii in Borneo, the Malay Peninsula, and 

 Eastern Java (where, however, the local representative may be distinct). It is 

 continually changing its perch, flitting round and round the passer-by, and alighting 

 with the wings partly or wholly open. When flying, it has the strongest possible 

 resemblance to Pajnlio Helenus, and it may possibly be advantageous for a scarce, 

 rather weak-flying insect of Morphid or Satyrid aflinities to resemble a common 

 Papilio of powerful and irregular flight." Habitat. — Malay Peninsula; Nias ; 

 Sumatra ; Borneo. — N. Patria, Leech, The Entomologist, 1891, p. 25. Habitat. — 

 W. China. — N. Princesa, Staudinger, Iris, 1889, p. 36. Habitat. — Palawan.

 second branch close to end of the cell ; discocellulars concave, upper short and bent 

 close to subcostal, the upper radial from the angle, the lower radial from the middle ;
