EURASIAN & AUSTRALIAN XEPTINI 45 



L. pata patalina (Semper) comb. n. 



Neptis patalina Semper, 1892 : 347. Mindoro. 



Neptis (Bimbisara) pata patalina Semper ; Fruhstorfer, 191 3 : 621. 



None in BMNH. 



L. pata semperi (Moore) comb. n. 

 (Text-fig. 5) 



Neptis isabellina Semper (nee Felder), 1889 : 151, }>1. 30, figs. 4 <£, 5 $. 

 Bacalora semperi Monro, 1899 : 44. S Mindanao.

 Neptis (Bimbisara) pata semperi (Moore) Fruhstorfer (syn. isabellina Semper nee Felder) ; 

 Fruhstorfer, 1913 : 621. 



Moore's name is valid, despite the claim by Fruhstorfer (1908a) that it is a nomen 

 nudum. The types are the insects in Semper's figures. 

 Mindanao. 



Lasippa viraja (Moore) comb. n. 



L. viraja viraja (Moore) comb. n. 

 (Text-fig. 4) 



Neptis viraja Moore, 1872 : 563, pi. 32, fig. 6^, ^? N.F. Bengal. Types BMNH. 

 Stabrobates viraja (Moore) Moore, 1899 : 23, pi. 298, figs. 1 larva and pupa, ia-id (J§ dry season 



form. 

 Neptis (Bimbisara) viraja Moore ; Fruhstorfer, 1913 : 620, pi. 125c J labelled ' visaya '. 

 Neptis viraja viraja Moore ; Evans, 1932 : 171. 



N.E. India (Bengal, Sikkim, Assam), Burma. 



There is a curious male specimen in BMNH with narrower orange markings 

 labelled ' Pulo Laut, Doherty '. This locality seems highly improbable. The 

 specimen matches quite well a single female from Tavoy and may have been taken 

 by Doherty in the Tenasserim Valley ; it and the Tavoy female possibly represent 

 a further minor subspecies. 



L. viraja kanara (Evans) comb. n. 



Neptis viraja kanara Evans, 1924 : 80. S. India. <J$ types BMNH. 

 Neptis viraja kanara Evans ; Evans, 1932 : 167.
