 Bali. 



N. vikasi ragusa ssp. n. 



In both sexes near to ssp. vikasi, but all the markings on the upper surface are a little narrower 

 and more fuliginous, in particular the hind wing discal band which is only two thirds as wide as 

 in vikasi. On the under surface the markings are pale buff, whereas in vikasi they are whitish. 

 The general impression is of a much drabber insect which shows an approach to the dark sub- 

 species found in some of the islands of Paramalaya.
