BARACUS. 



Since writing the above Mr. de Niceville has pointed out to me that 

 my specimens, though possibly identical with Distant's species, are not 

 the K. gemmifer of Butler, which has a number of amethystine spots on 

 the underside of both wings, which are not present in the Toungoo speci- 

 mens, and were also presumably wanting in Distant's specimens as he 

 makes no mention of them : this last point is, however, doubtful as they 

 are only visible in certain lights and may have escaped observation.

" Upperside, dark yellowish olive-brown ; the base of the wings 

 brighter olive-brown : forewing with an oblique transverse discal irregular- 

 margined semi-transparent yellowish band, joined above by a yellow costal 

 spot ; a small narrow streak of three conjugated similar spots obliquely 

 before the apex : cilia brown, on the hindwing alternated with yellow. 

 Underside ; forewing as above, the lower portion of the oblique band 

 terminating in a suffused yellow spot ; hindwing with three transverse 

 discal series of ill-defined yellowish-olive spots : cilia as above. Antennae 

 minutely spotted with yellow at the base, and with a subapical yellowish 

 band. Palpi and thorax in front beneath yellow. Abdomen with narrow 

 yellowish segmental bands. 



Expanse : if inches. 



Habitat : Bengal." (Moore, I. c.) 



Recorded for Kumaon (Dohtrty) ; Sikkim (de Niceville). 



Mr. Elwes considers this species to be probably synonymic with 

 C. dan, but has apparently never seen a specimen of it ; while Mr. Doherty 

 notes that he is not quite certain whether the two species belong even 

 to the same genus; so apparently there is something wrong in the 

 identification of it. 



Mr. de Niceville considers the two species certainly distinct, and 

 informs me the present species should be included in Kevana.
