BiTTERFLIES OF THE CENTRAL PROVINCES. 325 



close to the outer margin of the wing. There is also a curved row 

 of black spots on the hindwing, and a black spot centred with pink 

 at the end of the discoidal cell. It is also fond of hedgerows and 

 ditches and settles mi damp spots. I have found it in Nagpur where 

 it is. common, but have conic across it nowhere else in the Central 

 Provinces. The female has a few black marks showing on the 

 crimson tip, which are similarly disposed as the row of spots on the 

 underside of the wing. 



105. Cattosune (Sp.?) I have several specimens of a butterfly 

 very much like 0. dan'de, but very much smaller. The colouring is 

 not so bright as in C. Janae, as the black border is wanting in both 

 wings. I captured this at Burhanpur, and have seen it nowhere 

 else. 



106. Cattosune (Sp.?) I have also several small orange-tipped 

 butterflies belonging to this genus of which I do not know the names. 

 They were taken fit Iloshangabad, Singanama, and Kesla. They 

 are most delicate lovely little creatures. 



107. Cattosune (Sp.?) I took several specimens of a Cattosune 

 in company with those taken at Burhanpur. It is yellowish-white 

 with a deep black border to the wings, and there are a few whitish 

 spots in the black border at the apex of the forewing. Underneath 

 it is yellow, and the forewing has a few black spots on it. I do not 

 know its specific name. 



SUBFAMILY II. PAPILIONIN^. 



108. Papillo polymnestor , Cramer. I begin the subfamily with 

 this butterfly as it is the largest I have captured in the Central 

 Provinces. The expanse of its wings is sometimes fully six inches. 

 Its colours are velvetty-black and azure-blue disposed on the fore- 

 wing in a band of blue commencing near the anal angle of the wing 

 near the outer margin, and running towards the upper margin where 

 it, in some specimens, curves inwards. The blue band narrows 

 rapidly as it runs upwards. The rest of the wing is pure black. 

 The hindwing is much more richly decorated. There is only a 

 triangular black patch at the base of the wing, the rest is bright azure, 

 and bear3 two rows of black spots. The spots in the upper row are 

 somewhat pear-shaped, in the lower row they are more circular.
