76 (1012). Virachola isocrates (Fabr.). This is common enough 



near the coast wherever there are pomegranate 

 trees, in the fruit of which the larv?e feed. 



77 (1013). Do. perse (Hewitson). This apparently is not found 



near the coast, but occurs on the hills. It ia 

 common at Matheran. 



FAMILY.— PAPILIONID2E. 



Sub-Family — Pierin^e. 



78 Niehitona xipliia (Fabr.). Common everywhere. 



79 Delias eucharis (Drury). Quite common all the year round. 



80 Catopsilia pyranthe (Linn*). Common ; sometimes to be seen 



in swarms. 



81 Do. crocale (Cramer). This species, and the equally vari- 



able C. calilla (Cramer), which it is impossible 

 to separate, is by no means an uncommon butter 

 fly, especially during and after the rains, but at 

 times for months together none are to be seen. 

 At times too they migrate towards the south 

 or south-west in countless numbers. 



82 Terias hecabe (Linn.). Very common everywhere, after the 



rains appearing in swarms. 



83 Do. libythea (Fabr.). This species occurs near the coast, 



and we have specimens from Rewa Danda, 

 but it is apparently not by any means 

 common, though it mav often be overlooked 

 amongst the far larger number of the other 

 two representatives of the genus. 



84 Do. Icela (Boisduval). At times this is very common, 



especially during the cold weather, but at 

 other times none are to be seen. 



85 Teracolus Calais (Cramer). The formerly recognised local species 



T. cyprceus (Fabr.) has now been sunk as an 

 inconstant variety of the above. It is an ex- 

 tremely local species, as it never wanders far 

 from the food-plant of the larva {Sahadora 

 persica) which is a very eccentrically distributed 

 tree. Near the tree the butterfly generally 

 swarms. We have no record of it from the hills.
