collection. De Nicéville thinks it may be the male of 
T.. ister, Hew. It occurs also in the Nilghiri hills.

I have a single male specimen of an insect which 
agrees very fairly with what is figured under this name 
by Moore. The type, which is a female, I have seen, 
and, though said by Fabricius to have come from Africa, 
is so like the female of the Ceylon insect that I do not 
see how to separate it; but the species described by 
Horsfeld from Java as Amblypodia sugriva, which is con- 
sidered identical with phocides by Moore, has, instead of 
a narrow blue band on the outer edge of the hind wing, 
a large blue patch; and I believe it to be a distinct 
species. The specimen, which is the only one I have seen 
from Sikkim, was collected by me in July, 1870, and 
given with the rest of my insects of that year to Mr. 
Godman, in whose collection I recently found it. De 
Nicéville says it is also found near Buxa, Bhotan.

Of this rare species I have seen only the type- 
specimens, which were collected by Atkinson in Sikkim ; 
and one female, which is in Mr. Godman’s museum. 
** The male will be soon described also by Mr. de Niceville in the 
‘Journal’ of the Asiatic Society of Bengal.
