A LIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE KONKAN. 51 



86 Teracolus puellaris (Butler). This common Gujerat species 



occurs at the northern limits of the Konkan. 

 We have never heard of it in the neighbour- 

 hood or south of Bombay or on the hills. 



87 Do. diViaii (Fabr.). This is also a local speGies. Col. 



Swinhoe took it in Bombay during a famine 

 year, and we found it lately in great numbers 

 on Worli Hill, Bombay. It occurs — probably 

 more or less regularly — in the Tapti Valley, 

 being a common Gujerat species. 



88 Do. eucharis (Fabr.). Cap. Watson considers this a 



distinct species from the next, viz., 



89 Do. etrkla (Boisduvul). They both occur commonly in 



Bombay and everywhere in the district, but no 

 doubt are to be found locally all along the 

 coast. 



90 Ixtas marianne (Cramer). Common everywhere. 



91 Do, pi/rene (Linn.) Common everywhere. 



92 Hebemoia glancippe (Linn.) This is a local species according 



as the food-plant of the larva (a kind of caper) 

 is plentiful or not. It occurs all over the 

 hills and is not at all uncommon in Salsette, 

 while it has been seen occasionally in Bombay 

 Island. 



93 Nepluronla gcea (Felder). Quite common in Bombay and 



Salsette, especially after the rains, and every- 

 where throughout the district. 



94 Appias llbythea (Fabr.). Very common in Bombay and 



Salsette at times, especially before the rains. 



95 IlapMna phryw (Fabr.). This in its various seasonal forms 



is ver} r common everywhere. 



$Q Belenois mesentina (Cramer). More or less common every- 

 where. 

 Sub-Family — Papilionin^e. 



97 Omdhoptcra minos [Cramer). Mr. E. H. Aitken records this 



from Karanja, across the Harbour, and also 

 from Ratnagiri. It is probably carried great 

 distances by the wind.
