42 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
83. ZIZERA GAIKA, B. & E.; Zizera pygmxa, M.—Found 
also in Africa, Arabia, India, and Malaya. 
Very common at low elevations, but gets scarcer above 
3,006 feet. It may be found all the year round at Haldum- 
mulla, but is commonest in August. Usually found flying 
over short grass. 
Localities: the low-country from Galle to Jaffna, but 
commonest in the drier districts. 
84. Zizpra INDICA, M.; Zizera otis, B.; Zizera otis indica, 
E.—Found also in India, Burma, Malaya, Hong Kong, and 
Philippines. 
Bingham says indica differs from ofts in the great size of the 
discal black spots on the under side of the fore wing. . 
These spots vary very much in size, shape, and position, 
and the two posterior ones are often obsolete. 
Very common everywhere from Galle to Jaffna, and from 
sea level to the Horton Plains. I have taken it in every 
month at Haldummulla. 
85. AZANUS UBALDUS.—Found in India and Arabia. Not 
mentioned by Moore. 
The only place where I have caught this insect is at Elephant 
Pass, in the Jaffna Peninsula. It is fairly common there in 
December, but is very likely to escape notice. It is very 
small, and settles usually at a fair height from the ground, 
at the end of a twig or thorn. If disturbed, it flies round 
quickly, but soon settles in a similar place, and is not hard to 
catch. When settled, it is very like a small specimen of the 
next species, A. jesous, but that seldom settles so high up. 
Since writing the above E¢have found it common near 
Giant’s tank in July. 
86. AzANUS JESOUS, B.; Azanus crameri, M.; Azanus 
jesous gamra, E.—Found in Africa, Arabia, and India. 
Very common in the dry low-country, and is an occasional 
visitor to Haldummulla, all caught here being males. It 
flies low, and is fond of settling at the end of .a twig or large 
thorn, whence it apparently can get a clear view round. It 
is seldom seen more than two or three feet from the ground. 
It is usually found along road sides in open country or scrub, 
very seldom in jungle.
