﻿92 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



interspaces in tbe male being either wliitish-pointed externally or entirely sullied 

 brownist-white, and in the female these two upper interspaces are entirely white 

 and the lower discally-bordered with white lunules ; in the male, the blue band on 

 the hindwing is also comparatively broader. 



With reference to Colonel Swinhoe's Note in Proc. Ent. Society, 1890, p. xi., 

 on the identification of this species, I must point out an important error (or 

 lapsus calami) regarding the locality, there given, for Sedeva — an error which has 

 also led Mr. de Niceville (see Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, 1891, 350) into 

 fault, as regards the true habitat of Sedeva. Col. Swinhoe's " duplicates from 

 Bu.var" received by him from the Calcutta Museum, and referred to, as being 

 partly set up for his oivn cabinet and "the others given to Mr. Moore," are now before 

 me, under examination. These so termed " Buxar " specimens, above cited, and of 

 which there are about thirty before me — in about equal number of males and 

 females — are really from the Cachar District — not from Buxar, and have the place 

 and date of capture, hij Mr. Wood-Mason in 1881, on their paper envelopes, as we here 

 quote them below. All are true Sedeva. 



DisTrLiBUTioN. — Of this species we possess both sexes, labelled Silhet, Assam, 

 and several sjDecimens of both male and female, taken, as above noted, by Mr. Wood- 

 Mason " at low elevations in Cachar, this being one of the commonest butterflies, 

 and was met with between May and August in the forests around Silcuri [Silcuri, 

 May; Dm^gakuna, May; Durmkhal, June; Irangmara, Jiinuary, Julj, August], 

 both sexes being equally prevalent " (J. A. S. Bengal, 1887, 360).

Imago. — Male. Most like Cachar Sedeva. Upperside somewhat darker brown ; 

 basal marks and transverse bands similar ; the discal and submarginal band on the 

 foreiving approximated, the upper portion being of the same tint as the ground- 

 colour, and without any indication of whitish points. Hindwing with the blue band 

 broad. Underside similar to Sedeva, but with all the markings generally less defined. 



Female. Upperside similar to Sedeva ; the discal bands on the forewing 

 similarly approximated, but with the two upper interspaces both shorter and either 

 densely clouded with dark brown across the middle, leaving inner sulhed- whitish 

 lunules and small outer points, or the two spaces are more uniformly sullied-white;
