HupoVnnna, hoUna 1 Common during tbe rains.

P//raineis eardui— Abundant, especially during October. 



Chelndes laius — I obtained several specimens among orange trees in H. H. 

 the Rao's garden, but did not see it elsewhere. 



Ch'dades put!/ — Swarms among low herbage during the rains, I follow Col. 

 Yerbury (Jour. Bo. Natural Hist. Society, Vol. VII, p. 211, in keeping this 

 species distinct from C. trochilus. 



f Both these species were very common, but I did not

Azanus ubaldus. — A single specimen, 



Azcmus icranus.— Common among babul trees, on which the larva presum- 

 ably feeds, 



C'Jitochrijsops straho. — A single specimen in T^ebruary. 



Catoclirysiim coniracta. — Swarms all the year round. Mr. De Niceville 

 considers this only a form of C cnejus. I have taken a large number of 

 specimens of C. coniracta, both in Cutch and at Aden, and they appear to 

 me to be prefectly distinct from C. cnejus. The Aden females of C. con- 

 iracta, however, differ from the Cutch females in having more blue on the 

 upper side. C\ coniracta, which occurs in dry localities^, is generally to be 

 found near small thorn bushes, whereas C. cnejus is found chiefly in culti- 

 vation, I have taken both species at the same time of the year at Poona, 

 I never took typical C. cwjus in Cutch. 



'larucus theophrastus. - Ahund?int all the year round, 



Tai ucus pllnius. —'Noi unoommon during the rains. 



Polijommatus bcetictis. — Very common, 



Aphmeus ictis. — Six specimens taken at Charwah appear from compa- 

 rison with those In the British Museum to be of this species, but the species 

 of this genus run into one another, and are very confusing. 



AphncEus hypargyrus. — Not uncommon at the beginning of the rains ,• a 

 very quick flser, and difficult to obtain in good condition. 



Rapala melampus. — Rare. 



V'lrachoh: isocrates. — Too common, but not often seen on the wing, I bred 

 a fair number of this species from pomegranates, I think that more than 

 half this fruit never comes to maturity in Cutch owing to the ravages of 

 the larvtL' of this insect, 



Catopsilia pyranthe. — Very common. 



Appias lihyihea. — Two specimens only. 



Belenois viesentina. — Swarms round thorn bushes, on which the larva feeds, 

 I have often seen over a dozen pupa3 on one twig.
