 Neptis coenobita synetairus Fruhstorfer ; Stichel, 1909 : 174 partim. 



Examples from northerly areas tend to be small, and this tendency reaches its 

 maximum in Southern Kamchatka. Two pairs from Awatscha Bay are very small 

 (fore wing length 19-5 mm. in male, 22 mm. in female), the markings are narrow, 

 the under surface ground colour is darker than usual and the hind wing discal band 

 is prominently outlined with black. A single male from Shigansk (on the Arctic 

 Circle north of Yakutsk) is a little larger but otherwise similar.

 Korea, North China (as far south as Kansu and Pekin). 



N. rivularis bergmani Bryk stat. n.

Judging by Bryk's description the Kurile Is. have been colonized from Northern 

 Japan and not from Kamchatka.
