BUTTERFLIES OF LUCKNOW DISTRICT. 721 



PAPILIONED.E. 



PiERINjE. 



74. Appias paulina — Cram. Another specimen — a male — of this rare 

 species was taken in the Secunderabagh gardens in September. 



74 (a). Appias hippoides — Moore. New to the Lncknow list. It is rare, only 

 a single female — taken in September — being recorded in four years. 



78 (a). Leptosia xiphia— Fabr. — Taken for the first time in August 1903 

 at the height of the rains. It is apparently not very rare, but is extremely 

 local, which probably accounts for an earlier capture not having been recorded. 

 All I took were found in a very limited piece of damp, heavily overgrown 

 ground, in a corner of the Secunderabagh gardens. The species was only on the 

 wing a very short time — about a fortnight — and then disappeared altogether. 



Papilionin^e. 



79. Papilio aristolochi.e — Fabr. I discovered numbers of eggs, larvae in 

 all stages of growth and pupa;, of this common papilio on Various kinds of 

 Aristolochia throughout July, August and September. Owing to frequent 

 absences from Lucknow I was unfortunately unable to carry out any systematic 

 course of breeding ; it should not, however, be difficult to work out the life his- 

 tory of the species. 



83. Papilio nomius — Esper. I saw or took quite a number of these insects in 

 July and August. Though never common, it may be considered regular, and 

 my original note on the species thus needs some modification so far as its occur- 

 rence in the Lucknow District is concerned. 



HESPERID^. 



84. Badamia exclamationis — Fabr. I found the eggs and larva? of this 

 species on the Bignonia gracilis, and the imago could generally be found round 

 the plants. For reasons already given, I was, much to my regret, not able to 

 do any breeding. 



92. Udaspes folus — Cram. I took one more specimen in September. It 

 is a rare insect in the district. 



I have also to add three new " Skippers " to the Lucknow list. All are 

 apparently rare, as only single specimens of each were taken in four years. 



94. Sakangesa dasahara — Moore. One taken in October. 



95. Padraona gola — Moore. A single male in September 1903. On getting 

 the new species, I captured and examined all others of the genus I saw, in the 

 hope of finding some more of P. gola ; but I never a^ain took anything but 

 P. dara. 



96. Parnara komara — Moore (?). This was the only Parnara I ever took 

 in Lucknow, and I have not been able to classify it to my satisfaction. It does 

 not fully agree with any of those described by Watson in his " Hesperidaj 

 Indicaa " ; nor could I identify it with any of the species represented in the 

 Calcutta Museum collection. The discal series of spots on the forewing are
