A LIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE RON KAN. 47 



FAMILY— LEM0N1ID.E. 



S UB-FAMILY — LlBYTHiEINiE. 



42 (615). Abisara echerius (Stoll). After the rains very common 



on the hills and in the low jungles of the 

 Tanna district. The local form was for many- 

 years distinguished as A.fraterna (Moore). 

 Sub-Family — Lyclenid.e. 



43 (C42). Spalgis epius (Westwood). Not a common species, 



hut it occurs in Bombay and Salsette and 

 at Karanja across the harbour. 



44 (673). Chilades trochilus (Freyer). Common enough after 



the rains in Bombay and the Tanna district. 



45 (G81). Cyaniris puspa (Horsfield) Occurs on the ghats and 



at Matheran. We have no record of it near 

 the coast. 



46 (G94). Zizera malia (Kollar). A very common butterfly, 



especially after the rains. The closely allied Z. 

 harsandra (Moore) has been recorded, but all 

 our specimens would be referred to Z. maha. 



47 (702). Do. gaika (Trimon). Occurs in Bombay and 



Salsette. 



48 (703). Do. otis (Fabr :). The specimens from Bombay 



and Salsette that we have been able to 

 examine would no doubt be placed by some 

 in Z. sangra (704) or Z, indica (705), but 

 there appears to be little doubt that they are 

 merely synonyms of Z. otis. 



49 (712).* Lyccenesthes lyccenitia (Felder). Since Mr. E. H. 



Aitken wrote in Voh I of our journal that he 

 had a strong impression that he had caught 

 this in Bombay, we have no definite record 

 of its occurrence. 



50 (715). Talicada nyseus (Guorin). This peculiarly distributed 



species is found at Mahableshwar, sometimes 

 in swarms at some particular spot. It occurs 

 also at Karanja across the harbour. 



51 (733). J amides bochus (Cramer). Not uncommon in Bombay 



and Salsette, especially after the rains.
