Xepti* Duryodana, Moore t Proc, Zool. Soc. 1858, p, 10, n. 21 , L 49, f. 8. 



Female. TVings above dark fuscous, Anterior wings with the following white spots and markings :— 

 a hmx basal cellular streak gradually widening and terminating about apex of cell; this is followed by a 

 long subtriangular spot placed between the lower discoidal and the first median nervules ; two large 

 subapteal spots placed obliquely, divided by the upper discoidal nervule and preceded by two very small 

 subcostal spots ; two rounded discal spots divided by the second median nervule ; two Bmaller spots on 

 inner margin divided by the submedian nervure and a submarginal series of small spots directed obliquely 

 inward at apex, which are outwardly and inwardly margined with black ; fringe alternately white. 

 Posterior wings with the following white markings: — a nearly straight transverse fascia near base and 

 a series of small guhtpmdrate spots on outer third of wing, which are divided by the nervules, with 

 the innermost obliquely dt -Hexed towards anal angle; between these transverse white markings is a very 

 narrow pale fascia, and there is also a narrower and greyish suhmarginal one;* fringe alternately white. 

 Wings beneath much paler and more or less olivaceous ; white markings as above, but larger ; on anterior 

 wings the suhmarginal series of spots are preceded and followed by grey lines, the inner one very strongly 

 waved ; the posterior wings have the basal costal margin white, an additional subbasal narrow whitish 

 fascia, the narrow discal intermediate fascia much paler and the subuiargmal one nearly white. Body 

 above fuscous, beneath greyish ; legs greyish, the intermediate and posterior tibiae and tarsi brownish. 



Exp. wings, $ 54 millim. 



Hah, — Malay Peninsula; Province Wrllrsk-y (coll. Dist.i ; Malacca (Brit. XTus.) — Borneo (Brit. Mum.). 



I have compared the female specimen here figured and described with the Bornean type 

 in the British Museum, and rind (In following slight varietal differences :— On the underside of 

 the anterior wings the cellular streak is not so strongly divided from the adjacent and following 

 spot ; the broad white fascia on the posterior wings reaches the costal margin, | and the colour 

 beueath ie also darker, hut this is an inconstant character. 



11. Neptis charon.

At present my whole knowledge of this species is represented by Mr. Butler's figure and 

 description, both of which are here reproduced.
