FLETCHEE — LEPIDOPTERA. 293 



Family Lycasnidje. 



82. Zizera maha, Koll. 



Lyccsna maha, Kollar in Hiigel's Kaschmir, iv. p. 422. 



Zizera maha, Bingham, Butt. lud. ii. p. 355, t. 19. ff. 136, 137. 



Seychelles. — I have seen no specimens of this species from the Seychelles, but Mr. J. 

 A. de Gaye reports {in litt., 13 March, 1906) that one specimen caught in Mahe by 

 Viv. Thomasset was identified as Z. maha by Col. Manders. Tliis must be a rarity in 

 the Seychelles, as I find no examples in a sei'ies of nearly sixty ZizercB in the present 

 collection. 



Distribution. — India from Himalayas to Travancore ; Upper and Lower Burma ; 

 Seychelles (Mahe).

 Joannis, Ann. S. E. France, 1894, p. 428. 



Tarquhar I. — Five male examples in one place only, apparently a small garden, in the 

 village in North Island. (? Introduced.) 



Desroches, — One worn female, 15 October, 1905, in cultivated ground near the settle- 

 ment. 



Eagle I. — Four specimens (3 c? , 1 S ), 17 October. Common, but all are worn. 



Seychelles. — Fifty-seven specimens from Mah^, St. Anne, and Praslin. 



Seychelles specimens seem to be constant in having an additional spot (sometimes 

 reduced to a mere shade, but usually well-defiued and distinct) below the ocellus of the 

 cell, this latter ocellus itself being frequently duplicate. 



Distribution. — S. Europe ; throughout Africa ; Teneriffe ; Mauritius ; Reunion ; Mada- 

 gascar ; Comoro Is. ; Farquhar I. ; Amirantes ; Seychelles ; Sokotra ; Bengal ; Ceylon ; 

 Java. 



[81'. Zizera gaika. Trim.

Zizera gaika, Holland, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 1895, p. 268 ; Bingham, Butt. Ind. ii. p. 359. 



Recorded by Dr. Holland as from Providence I., Alphonse I. (Amirantes), and from 

 Mahe (Seychelles), probably in error for Z. lysimon. I have seen no Z. gaika from this 

 region, nor has it been recorded from Madagascar.] 



Distribution. — S. Africa ; Mauritius ; Aden ; throughout India ; Ceylon ; Assam ; 

 Burma ; Tenasserim ; Andamans ; Sumatra ; Java.
