Nemeobiinae 

 There are 5 species of N em,eohiinae in the collection. 



112. Praetaxila segecia (Hew.) 



Sosfita segecia Hewitson, Exot. Bull. ii.. Sosp., t. 1. ft'. 4-6 (1861) (Aru, Mysol). 



Herr Fruhstorfer in " Seitz " is splitting up the Abisaras and Dicallaneuras into a 

 number of local forms, but 1 consider the material available of this species is much 

 too scanty to warrant this ; although I fully admit there is much variation.

LYCAENIDAE 



There are 59 species in the collection, of which 12 species and 4 subspecies are new. 



I have not divided the Lycaenidae into subfamilies because there are still some 

 doubts as to the limits of the various sections, and have therefore contented myself 

 with arranging the genera in the order followed in the British Museum.
