N. nata smedleyi ssp. n. 



Neptis soma (Moore) ssp. ; Corbet, 1942 : 619. $ Sipora. 



$ intermediate between sspp. agathyllis and gononata on the upper surface ; the fore wing 

 cell streak is narrower than the former, wider than the latter, the discocellular bar is well 

 marked and the streak beyond cell is of normal length. The fore wing upper and lower post- 

 discal bands are almost as continuous as in agathyllis. The hind wing discal band is narrow 

 and the postdiscal band is a little wider. On the under surface the ground colour is the same 

 shade of brown as agathyllis , but it differs from the latter as on the upper surface and also in 

 that the discal band reaches the costa, the portion of the band in space 7 being even wider than 

 the portion in space 6. The only known specimen is in poor condition, but is so distinctive that 

 it seems best to name it. 



Holotype $. Mentawi Is. : Sipora, x.1924 (C. B. Kloss & N. Smedley). Unique.
