188 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
larger than normal in that species, but the description of the 
under side tallies very closely. . 
98.. NACADUBA NOREIA.—Since Part I. was published I 
have received ‘sixteen 33 of this from Wellawaya, and have 
now no doubt. as to its being quite distinct from NV. ardates. 
It seems to vary very little. 
In addition to the distinctions previously mentioned, I 
notice that the cilia at the apex of the fore wing are pure 
white, and those of the hind wing are lighter than those of 
ardates. | , 
128, 129. APHNauS IcTIs and NnuBILUS.—Mr. F.--A. 
Fairlie, who made collecting trips to the Northern Province 
some years before the railway to the North was built, writes as 
follows in reference to my remarks in Part I. :— 
“Under A. nubilus you describe a butterfly I have taken 
many specimens of at Iranaimadu resthouse, about 50 miles 
from Jafina on the North road, which I think has not yet been 
named. I took it with an equal number of A. ictis, race 1, and 
it is certainly quite distinct. | 
** At Manipai, Jafina, I took races 2 and 3 of A. ictzs, also 
with race 1, and I consider these also quite distinct from 
A. ictis No. 1, and have always considered them to be A. 
nubilus. This was in July and August, 1890. 
‘“‘T sent several specimens of them to De Niceville at that 
time, and he named those without the discal spot A. nubilus, 
race 3 of your notes. Race 2 appears to me to be only a 
variety, and cannot be separated from race 3, but both distinct 
from race 1, which I eall typical A. cctis. 
“The blue irridescence on both wings of the male of 
Nos. 2 and 3 is more violet than in the Aphnzus you describe 
under A. nubilus, and spreads over a larger area of the fore 
wing in my specimens, and the under sides are paler red.” 
132. TasurIA JEHANA.—In September, 1918, I took two 
pairs of this at Pointsettia blossom in my garden (3,000 feet). 
These specimens are larger, much darker in colour, and have 
far broader wings than those from Jaffna, but agree in mark- 
ings. They were taken at the end of a severe drought in 
company with 7’. longinus. They may prove to be a new 
species.
