THE ENTOMOLOGIST. = 
A NEW FORM OF TAJURIA (LEP. RHOP.) FROM 
CEYLON. 
By N. D. Ritey. 
Tajuria jehana ceylanica, ssp. nov. 
* 
3. Differs from typical jehana in the greater extent of the blue 
area on the fore wing above. In typical jehana this extends from 
inner margin to vein 2, and, in the cell, from the base to just beyond 
vein 2. In ceylanica it extends in the cell to beyond vein 3 and 
from the inner margin to vein 3, with a few scattered blue scales in 
area 3, and approaches the hind margin more closely as well. On 
the hind wing the black marginal spots in areas lc and 2 are slightly 
reduced in size. This latter feature also applies to the under-side, 
which otherwise presents no conspicuous difference. 
9. The differences are of a similar nature. The blue is of a — 
more silvery shade on both wings. It occupies the whole of the 
cell with the exception of the anterior distal quarter, extends from 
inner margin to just over vein 4, and its outer margin runs very 
evenly and almost parallel, but not very close to the hind margin. 
On the hind wing the marginal spots are as in the male, the discal 
wavy dark line very narrow. On the under-side this line is 
continued rather conspicuously (for this species) on the fore wing. 
Length of fore wing: ¢, 14 mm. (16 mm. in ¢ type of jehana) ; 
?, 15°5 mm. (the same asin the ? type of jehana). . 
B.M. Type No. Rh. 190, ¢; 191, 2, Kankasanturai, Ceylon, W. 
Ormiston. . . 
The species appears to be very rare in Ceylon, there being in 
the British Museum only, in addition to the types,1¢, 12, 
obtained by Mr. Fairlie, who first discovered the species in 
Ceylon, and 1 g from Mr. EH, HE. Green. It differs quite 
constantly from the continental Indian specimens in the British 
Museum.
