50 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
Since writing the above I have received 2 33 from 
Wellawaya and 2 9° from Kandy. 
99. JamipEs Bocuus, M. & De N.; Lampides bochus, B. & 
E.—Also found in India, Burma, Malaya, &c. 
Varies a good deal in the width of the black border. 
Bingham says that, measured on the dorsum of the male, 
this takes up one-fourth of the wing. In my specimens one- 
sixth is nearer the average. The female varies far more than 
the male in this respect. 
It is exceedingly plentiful all over the southern half of the 
Island, and flies at Haldummulla all the year round. It 
occasionally flights in great numbers, and these flights are 
usually composed of dwarf specimens 22-25 mm. in expanse. 
T have taken it from sea level to over 6,000 feet, and it seems 
to be equally plentiful in Galle and Nuwara Eliya. I have no 
notes of its occurrence in the north of the Island. 
The male sometimes settles on wet roads, but prefers 
flowers. 
“* Caught in North-Central Province ”’ (F. M. Mackwood). 
100. LamprpEs ELPIs.—Also in India and Malaya. 
Common at Haldummulla, especially in March, April, 
and May. At times it becomes a pest in cardamom 
clearings. 
The male varies little, and the female only in the width of 
the black border to the fore wing. 
It is not given to settling on wet roads, but is usually found 
on bushes at the edge of jungle. 
I found it very common near Galle in February and March, 
but have never seen it in the north of the Island. 
101. Lamprpes corvscans.—Peculiar to Ceylon and very 
local. = 
The male varies little, but the female a great deal in the 
amount of blue on the upper side. 
I used formerly to get this plentifully near Haldummulla, 
in a jungle which is now part of Mentenne rubber estate. 
Since this was cleared it has apparently disappeared from the 
district. 
The specimens from there were rather smaller than those 
from wetter districts.
