MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE BUTTERFLIES OF MALACCA. 
Columella Group. 
0. Neptis columella, {Papilio columella) Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. pi. 29 G. figs. A, B 
(1782). c? ? , Malacca. 
Tiga Group. 
7. Neptis dorelia, n. sp. (PI. LXVIII. fig. 3.) Papilio heliodore , Fabricius (nec 
Cramer nec Moore), Mant. Ins. ii. p. 52. n. 510 (1787). d ? , Malacca. 
The type of the Fabrician species differs from the examples of N. tiga in the Horsfield 
Cabinet from J ava in having a single instead of a double central arched line across the 
under surface of the secondaries ; this line is, in some examples, slightly thickened. 
8. Neptis tiga, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 4. n. 3 (1858). £ ? , Malacca. This 
species agrees with an example in the Banksian cabinet, but not with the Fabrician 
type ; there are two central brown curved lines across the underside of the secondaries, 
partially or wholly filled in with paler brown. 
9. Neptis paraka, n. sp. (PI. LXVIII. fig. 2.) Almost exactly like N. horclonia 
above, but brighter in colour, and with the tawny bands rather broader ; the submarginal 
tawny streak of primaries deeply bisinuate so as to form two wide arches, and intersected 
by a black line. Wings below ochre-yellow, the black portions of the upper surface 
represented by brownish stains, and partially blotched with grey: the basal area of 
secondaries crossed by two black oblique lituroe ; the centre band bordered by two inter- 
rupted black lines ; the outer border intersected (above the indication of the submarginal 
tawny line of the upper surface) by a slightly waved black line. Expanse of wings 1 inch 
7 to 10 lines. 3 $ , Malacca. The typical N. heliodora very nearly resembles this 
species on the upper surface ; but below it is very different. 
10. Neptis dindinga, n. sp. (PI. LXVIII. fig. 6.) Larger than K heliodora , the 
bands broader, particularly the central band of secondaries, which is twice as broad and 
extends nearly to the base; subapical patch of primaries twice as wide, and deeply 
indented in the centre of its inner border ; submarginal tawny streak replaced by pale 
brown (but intersected by the black line) in the primaries, tawny but extremely slender 
in the secondaries. Differences below much as above ; discal band of secondaries broad 
and black, and intersected by a whity-brown streak. Expanse of wings 2 inches. 
$ , Malacca. 
W e have a specimen in the British Museum from Moulmein, which measures 2 inches 
2 lines in expanse. It is a well-marked species. 
11. Neptis iiordonia, (c?, Papilio hordonia ) Stoll, Suppl. Cram. pi. 33. figs. 4, 4 D
