CEYLON BUTTERFLIES. 58 
The male may easily be mistaken for L. celeno on the wing, 
as the colour is the same, though paler. 
It is very rare. I have taken one ¢ and three 2 on this 
estate in the tea, and one ¢ settled on leopard’s dung at 
Wellawaya. 
“ Captured at Puttalam, Lunugala, and Haragam, near 
Kandy ” (F. M. Mackwood). - 
106. CaTacHRysops cNEJUS.—Also in India, China, 
Malaya, and Australia. 
Rather a local fly. Very rare at Haldummulla, but is 
common in a few places in the low-country of Uva. Very 
plentiful in the Northern Province. 
The males can be readily distinguished from the males of 
other species of Catachrysops in Ceylon by having on the 
upper side of the hind wing two nearly equal-sized black spots, 
one each in interspaces 1 and 2. The females have both these 
spots crowned with orange. 
It is very variable in size, in the ground colour of the under 
side, and in the amount of blue on the upper side of the female. 
Var. contracta is apparently only a dwarf form and grades into 
cnejus. 
In Southern India it is frequently a serious pest to the 
gram crops. 
Localities : Hambantota, Wellawaya, Galgamuwa (North- 
Western Province), Anuradhapura, Jafina, &c. 
** Kandy and Colombo ” (F. M. Mackwood). 
107. Catachrysops pandava.—Also found in India, Malaya, 
&c. There are two very distinct forms of this in Ceylon, which 
apparently do not fly together, and might be separated as 
different races, if not species :— 
(1). The large form, or true pandara. Average about 30 mm. 
The male is a bright lavender-blue, with the veins very 
clearly marked. The fore wing with a brown terminal border 
over 1 mm. wide. Hind wing with a sub-terminal series of 
black spots, edged outwardly by a white line, the one in 
interspace 2 being sometimes inwardly bordered by red. 
Under side hind wing: sub-basal row of four black spots 
edged with white.
