Neptis roepkei ioannis Eliot, 1959 : 374 partim (Malaya), pi. 10, fig. 4 J. 



Butler's male type is an example of L. tiga siaka (Moore). As he neither described 

 nor figured the male, but gave a good figure of the female I select the latter as the 

 LECTOTYPE. As I pointed out (1959), Malayan examples differ only slightly from 

 Burmese and Siamese examples, but as a well-known name is available it seems 

 best to retain it for a just recognizable subspecies. 



Malaya. Examples from Sumatra, Borneo and Pulo Laut are provisionally 

 placed here, though showing a slight approach to ssp. roepkei.

 Neptis heliodore sattanga (Moore) (syns. camboja Moore, kuhasa de Niceville) ; Evans, 1932 : 171. 



Assam, Burma, Siam, Malaya (Langkawi Is.). None in BMNH from the type 

 locality. Examples from the Langkawi Is. are large and brightly coloured, and are 

 strikingly different from ssp. siaka which, as far as I am aware, is the only subspecies 

 occurring in Perlis on the Malayan mainland opposite the Langkawi Is. In this 

 collective area, named Kedawi by Corbet, it is abnormal for a species to occur in 

 two strongly differentiated subspecies, and more collecting in this area and Penin- 

 sular Siam may reveal that the two forms have achieved separate species status.
