1866.] 37 



Terias Hecale, T. Sari, T. Ueta, and T. venata. — Captured these four in Oudli. 

 T. venata being the least common. T. Bi-ona at Calcutta, common. At Saugor the 

 first four are abundant from July to December, They all fly about together, in and 

 out of hedges. 



Pievis Mesentina. — Very common at Saugor, and all the way from thence to 

 Bombay. I reared this in great abundance on the Cappa/ris pyrifolia at Lucknow. 



P. Coronis. — I have caught this all the way from Bombay to near Saugor ; also 



in Oudh and Calcutta. On the wing from June to September. P. Euchams. — 



Is just appearing (December 16th), and is very common at Saugor ; also in Oudh, 

 Calcutta, and from Bombay to Saugor. It flies from December to August. 



Papilio dissimilis. — Reared from the larva at Lucknow. P. Diphilus. — 



This is not a very common species at Saugor, yet by no means rare. Larva reared 



on Aristolochia. Flight slow and heavy. Taken also in Oudh and Calcutta. 



P. Polytes and P. Pammon. — I saw quantities of P Polytes on my march from 

 Bombay to Saugor, but not one P. Pammon. In Oudh, Calcutta, Benares, and 

 Allahabad plenty of both. At Saugor P. Pammon is scarce, P. Polytes common, but 



the season is late. P. Romulus. — Captured at Calcutta, flying round the Con- 



volvuli. P. Erithronius. — Everywhere, and at all seasons of the year. 



Danais Limniaccp. — Frequent, on the road from Bombay to Saugor. Not 



common. At Saugor, Oudh, and Calcutta. D. Plexippus. — Common almost 



throughout the year. Frequents fields, gardens, and woods alike. D. Chrysippus. 



— The common insect of India. Found all the year round. Larva feeds on 

 Calotropis. 



Euplcea Core. — Obtained all along the road from Bombay to Saugor ; also in 

 Cawnpore, Oudh, Allahabad, Benares, and Calcutta. Flies usually in the vicinity 

 of the Oleanders ; flight easy, not moving its wings much, but soars about, never 

 flying about 10 feet from the ground. 



TelcMnia Violas. — Extremely abundant at Saugor, though I did not see one 

 during the whole journey from Bombay. August to November. Flies close to the 

 ground, not swiftly, but rather lazily, settling for a short time on a flower, moving 

 afterwards to another, and so on. Also at Lucknow, Allahabad, and Calcutta. 



Pyrameis Cardui. — Plentiful at Saugor. 



Junonia Lemonias, Onone, Orithyia, and Asterie. — Common everywhere, and 

 appear on the wing the greater part of the year. J. Almxina. — Calcutta. 



Atella Plmlanta. — Plentiful at Saugor, Oudh, Calcutta, and Bombay. Its rapid 

 flight makes it easily known ; it does not bounce about like a true Argynnis, but 

 it is very restless. Larva reared on Flacourtia sapida. 



Ergolis Coryta. — Captured only at Calcutta, where it is common. 



Diademo Bolina. — Very common nearly the whole year. D. Auge. — Also 



very common at Saugor, and is fond of woods and gardens. I found the larva in 

 my compound feeding on the ' Makhuya ' {Rostellaria procumiens.) 



Cyllo Leda and Banhsia.— At Saugor, C. Banksia is the more common of the 

 two. They fly at sunset under the Neem trees, resting for a long time motionless 

 on the ground, and will not move until you almost tread upon them, when they 

 will fly away in great haste and return to the same spot, chiefly some favourite 

 stone.
