388 Mr. H. J. Elwes’ catalogue of the 
274. Nacaduba dana. 
Nacaduba dana, de Nicé., J. A. S. B., 1888, p. 78, t.1., 
fig. 15. 
This species is easily distinguished when fresh by the 
violet shade of the upper side and absence of tails, 
though, as ardates is sometimes tailless, I do not see 
why, as de Nicéville suggests, this should remove it 
from the same genus. It occurs from the Terai up to 
7000 ft., but is not common, from April to October. 
Doherty found it in Kumaon up to 5000 ft. The female 
of dana has recently been procured by Moller in late 
autumn.

N. plinioides, Moore, P.Z.8., 1883, p. 524, t. 48, 
fig. 8. 
A not uncommon species in the low valleys up to 
2 or 3000 ft. from April to October. De Nicéville’s name 
was published on March 6th, according to him; Moore’s 
on April Ist; so the former has priority.
