THE BOTTERFLIES OF THE I^IMAR DISTRICT. 567 



Junonia lento nias, Linn. 

 Common everywhere all the year round. In forest and open situations. 



Junonia hierta, Fabr. 

 Common. Partial to open grassy jungle. 



Junonia oritkyia, Linn. 

 Common. Prefers hot, dry, bare situations, settling as a rule on a stone or 

 on the ground. It requires some catching owing to the sharp sudden nature 

 of its flight but it quickly settles again. 



Neptis curt/nome, West. 

 Fairly common in forest areas. 



Hypolimnas holina, Linn. 

 Common, especially in gardens. 



Hyjjolimnas misippus. Linn. 

 Common everywhere in the rains and cold weather. 



The females, which are almost exact " mimics " of D. chrysippua, are not so 

 numerous as the males. 



Euthalia nais, Moore. 

 Fairly common in glades in open forest, settling on moist giound along 

 nullahs. Seldom seen in gardens or near habitations. Dry season. 



Vanessa cardui^ Linn. 

 Common in open situations from August to January, associated with Junonia 

 lemonias and orithyia, which it resembles in its mode of flight and settling on 

 rocks and stones. There appear to be a succession of broods of this species. 



Charaxes athamas. 

 Not very common. In well wooded areas generally near water, settling on 

 the moist ground in company with P. aganiemnon, Terias liecabe and several 

 species of Lycanicke. 



II.— LEMONIIU^. 



1.— Nemeobiin.^. 

 Ahisara sepecherius, StoU. 



I have seen specimens of this genus on several occasions settling on the 

 leaves of Teak tiees but never took any. I fancy they may all be referred to 

 this species.

 est of the common Lycankla., The low of jewelled spots on the underside of 

 the hind wing are very charac . eristic and exquisitely beautiful.
