410 L. cle Niceville & Dr. L. Martin —Butterflies of Sumatra. [No. 3, 
bordered.” It was described from Sumatra. This adds one more to 
the twelve synonyms of N. leucothoe given by me in “Tlie Gazetteer 
of Sikkim,” p. 137 (1894). 
165. Neptis nata, Moore. 
Grose Smith. Hagen. A common species in the plains. It is a 
little variable, in typical specimens the discal white band on the under¬ 
side of the hindwing ends on the costal nervure, in others it ends on 
the first subcostal nervule. I greatly doubt if the N . gononata , Butler, 
from Malacca, is distinct from this species. 
166. Neptis duryodana, Moore. 
Grose Smith as duryodama [sic]. Snellen. A common species of 
the plains in October. 
167. # Neptis nadina, Moore. 
Grose Smith as soma. N. soma, Moore, is a synonym of N. nadina , 
Moore. It is probable that Mr. Grose Smith identified this species 
from specimens similar to those which I subsequently described as 
N. clinioides . 
168. Neptis clinioides, de Niceville. 
N. clinioides, de Niceville, Journ. A. S. 13., vol. lxiii, pt. 2, p. G, n. 5, pi. i, fig. 8, 
male (1894). 
Very rare, a few specimens only have been obtained in the 
Battak mountains and Central Plateau in June. 
169. Neptis susruta, Moore. 
Grose Smith. A common species in the low forests. 
170. ^Neptis heliodora, Cramer. 
Hagen. Probably a wrong identification. It was described from 
Amboina, and is apparently confined to the Moluccas. 
171. Neptis ophiana, Moore. 
Hagen as ophiana , var. ? Very rare, Dr. Martin lias obtained a 
single specimen. Herr Georg Semper places this species and its allies 
in the genus Phxdyma, Felder, of which N. heliodora, Cramer, is 
the type (Schmett. Philipp., p. 142 (1889). With the exception of 
N. sankara, Kollar, N. clinioides , de Niceville, and N. ophiana, Moore, all 
the black species of Neptis are common insects, occurring everywhere 
in open places, both in small jungle and in large forest, except N. susruta ,
