1898.] L. de Niceville— List of the Butterflies of the Ke Isles. 261 



32. Neptis (Phsedyma) nectens, de Niceville. 



N. (Phsedyma) nectens, de Niceville, Journ. A. S. B., vol. lxvi, pt. 2, p. 548, n. 6, 

 pi. i, fig. 3, female (1897). 



Very rare on Little and Great Ke, not known from the other 

 islands. 



33. *Neptis venilia, Linnaeus. 



Ribbe records this species from the Key Isles as " Athyma " venilia, 

 but we have never seen it from thence. 



34. Hypolimnas bolina, Linnaeus. 



Rober. Common in December and January on all the islands, but 

 single specimens are met with all the year round. The form of the 

 female occurring in the islands is that called Papilio iphigenia by 

 Cramer, Pap. Ex., pi. lxvii, figs. D, E (1775), from Batavia in Java. 

 The male is normal. 



35. Hypolimnas polymena, Felder. 



Rober as H. alimena, Linnaeus, var. heteromorpha, Rober. The 

 male of this species is typical H. alimena, Linnaeus, but the female, 

 which gives its name to the species, has been named H. polymelia by 

 Felder, from the Arm Isles, and H. heteromorpha by Rober. It is a mimic 

 of Euploea assimilata, Felder, and the other two similarly coloured 

 Euploeas found in the Ke Archipelago. It is common in the wet season, 

 and has been figured by Swinhoe in Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., Zoology, 

 vol. xxv, p. 342, pi. xvi, fig. 2, female (1896). 



36. Hypolimnas hewitsoni, Wallace. - 



Apparently rare in the Ke Archipelago, Kiihn having only obtained 

 three or four worn male specimens on Tiandoe. Both sexes of this fine 

 species were described and figured from the Ke Islands by Hewitson in 

 Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1858, p. 464, pi. liv, figs. 2, male; 1, female, as 

 Biadema pandarus, Linnaeus, and Wallace in Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 

 1869, p. 282, n. 8, named it Biadema hewitsoni from the same place. The 

 female, which we have not seen, is heavily marked with white on both 

 wings on the upperside, and doubtless mimics the three similarly 

 marked species of Euploeas found on the Ke Isles. 



37. Parthknos brdnnea, Staudiuger. 



Rober. This is quite distinct from P. sylvia, Cramer, from Java, 

 and P. salentia, Hopifer, from Celebes. Single specimens on Little Ke 

 and Great Ke are found all the year round.
