(Wallace) and a female from Singapore are in the Oxford University Museum. A 
male and female from Sumatra and a female from Borneo are in Mr. P. Crowley’s 
collection. We possess both sexes from Borneo ; females from Borneo and Sumatra 
are in Mr. H. Grose-Smith’s collection. A male and female from Labuan, Borneo, 
are in the British Museum. Both sexes of Omeroda differ from the Javan species, 
Vikasi, on the upperside, in the discoidal streak, and discal bands, being com¬ 
paratively narrower and of a pale fuliginous brown, in Vikasi they are sullied 
brownish-white; the discal series of spots on forewing are narrower, the lower 
spots being rounded, in Vikasi they are broadly dentate. On the underside the 
ground-colour is duller brown than in Vikasi y the streak and discal bands less 
prominent, especially in the male.— Bimbisara Kheiiii. Male. Upperside olivescent 
fuliginous-brown, with blacker interspaces between the veins. Forewing with a 
very slender sullied-white discoidal streak and point beyond the cell ; two 
prominent pure white subapical oblique spots and a lower discal rounded similar 
white spot between the middle and lower median veinlets; a very indistinct slender 
sullied brownish-whitish short outwardly-oblique streak above the latter, and an 
inner-oblique similar streak below it; two submarginal very slender sullied 
brownish-whitish sinuous lines and a marginal regular line. Hindwing with a 
prominent white inner-discal band, a very slender medial-discal and aii outer sub- 
marginal indistinct sullied brownish line, between which is a slightly more distinct 
inner submarginal slender lunulated line. Underside paler, with all the markings 
more defined. Female. Upperside as in male, with all the markings more 
prominent. Underside the same. Quite distinct from Him and Omeroda.

pi. 50. Male and female. Upperside dark olivescent fuliginous-brown. Fore¬ 
wing with a rather broad pale sullied brownish-white discoidal streak, distinctly 
indented at upper end of the cell; discal excurved series of spots broadly dentate, 
broadest in female ; a very slender inner submarginal sinuous line, a middle lunular 
line, and then an outer marginal even line. Hindwing with a moderately broad 
inner-discal and a narrow outer-discal band, also a slender less defined submarginal 
line and an obscure medial-discal line. Underside pale brown, with prominent 
dark purplish-brown interspaces between the markings, as above, which are tinged 
with purpurescent-white. Expanse, $ 2^ to 2^, ? 2 x - 0 to 2^> inches. Habitat. 
Java.— Bimbisara Celebica (Neptis Celebica, Wallace, MS.). Female. Larger than 
Java Vikasi. Upperside with all the markings obscurely defined, the upper and 
lower portions of the discal curved macular band on forewing somewhat narrower,
