Barkuda, zg-viii-ig ; 2-7-is-i9. 



Hab. — Sikkim, Burma, South India and the Andamans. 



Remarks. — Not so common as the preceding species. The 

 larva of this species is slender, cylindrical and greenish in colour, 

 rather paler towards the anal extremitj'', and has a pale yellow, 

 ill-defined lateral stripe which is, however, in some individuals 

 absent. It is furnished with very close, rather bristly hairs along 

 the back, and fine, short ones laterally. The head is black, or 

 ver5' dark brown, with fine, pale, in most cases scattered, hairs. 

 In the Cochin States Dr. Gravely found that these caterpillars 

 were eaten bj^ the Reduviid bug, Panthous bimaculatus. 



Colotis Calais amatus, Fab. (980).

Barkuda, 6-29-viii-r9; 3-29-ix-i9 ; 23-X-19 ; i5-xii-i9; 8- 



20-iv-20. 



Remarks. — "Amatus constantly differs from calais in that the 

 black spot on the margin near the dorsum is not detached and 

 quadrate." {Evans). The form of female in which the ground- 

 colour ranges from pale primrose-yellow to pure white has been 

 named alhina by Col. Evans. It is rare on Barkuda. The 

 species was quite common on the island among low herbage from 

 August to October, 1919. In April, 1920 it was abundant on 

 the shore aroixnd Salvador a persica, but was entirely absent in 

 June and July, and in August was not so plentiful as in 1919. 

 The Chilka Lake represents, according to Col. Evans, the extreme 

 north-eastern limit of the geographical range of this insect. 



Hcbomoia glaucippe ? australis, Bert. (980). 



1907. Nebomoia glaucippe race australis, Bing., torn, cit., p. 275. 

 1910. Hebomoia glaucippe australis, Fruh., torn, cit., p. 175. 



Hah. — Southern India and Ceylon. 



Remarks. — We have seen this butterfly on several occasions 

 in April, and from August to September, but were unable to cap- 

 ture it on account of its habit of flying very high among dense 

 growths of Euphorbia and Ficus, chiefl}' round a small pond on 

 the island. The race australis and typical glaucippe are so alike 

 that it is impossible to distinguish them on the wing, but the insect 

 we saw is probabh^ australis as this is the South Indian race of 

 the species. We cannot, however, be certain as both glaucippe 

 and australis sometimes ily together in South India.
