Neptis
''Neptis'' is a large genus of butterfly, butterflies of Old World tropics and subtropics. They are commonly called sailer butterflies or sailers, or more precisely typical sailers to distinguish them from the related blue sailer (''Pseudoneptis''). Description The head is rather broad and moderately hairy on the forehead. The eyes are large and prominent. The palpi are short, acute, slender, hairy, and do not rise above the level of the forehead. The antennae are moderately long, terminating in an elongate, gradually-formed club, flattened on its upper surface. The thorax is not robust and it is as broad as the head and slightly hairy posteriorly. The wing characters are: forewings elongate, rather truncate; costa only slightly arched; apex not acute, but well marked; hind margin slightly convex and sinuated; anal angle distinct; inner-margin convex near base, slightly concave about middle. Hindwings large, rounded; costa strongly arched; hind margin moderately dentate; inner ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Neptis Agatha
''Neptis agatha'' is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Sierra Leone, Abyssinia East Africa and Natal. It is the nominotypical member of the ''Neptis agatha'' species group In biology, a species complex is a group of closely related organisms that are so similar in appearance and other features that the boundaries between them are often unclear. The taxa in the complex may be able to hybridize readily with each oth .... The forms of this group may be at once recognized by the underside of the hindwing having 2 or 3 continuous white transverse bands at the base (cf. agatha underside, 48 d) and by the cell having white dots or being only striped with white at the anterior margin. Some of the numerous forms are very nearly allied. The group members are : *''Neptis agatha'' Stoll, 1781 *'' Neptis laeta'' Overlaet, 1955 *'' Neptis serena'' Overlaet, 1955 *'' Neptis kiriakoffi'' Overlaet, 1955 *'' Neptis morosa'' Overlaet, 1955 *'' Neptis jordani'' Neave, 191 ...

Neptis Sappho
''Neptis sappho'', the Pallas' sailer or common glider, is a nymphalid butterfly found in Central Europe, Russia, India and other parts of temperate Asia and Japan.

Two white, wedge-shaped spots are also found between the band and the wing base. The underside is rusty brown and otherwise shows the same white markings as the upper side. The upper side of the hind wings is also black or black-brown in colour with a broad inner and a narrow outer band, each white with a white band, which are only broken by the dark veins.

Type Species
In International_Code_of_Zoological_Nomenclature, zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological Type (biology), type wiktionary:en:specimen, specimen (or specimens). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name with that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have suc ...
