LOBOCLA. 157 



Habitat: 9 Campbellpore ; $ Futch Khan's Bungalow; Kooteer, 

 Chittar Pahar, 2,000 to 3,000 feet. April." (Butler, I. c.) 



In describing this species from N.-W. India, Mr. Butler states that 

 it is quite unlike any other Indian Pyygus, the secondaries being alternately 

 regularly banded with brown and white ; P. evanidus, with which it has been 

 confused, differing from it in having the under surface of the hindwing 

 olive-greenish, spotted and blotched with white. The species is described 

 from specimens obtained by Major Yerbury in the above-noted localities. 



Not in collection Indian Museum, but de Niceville possesses two 

 specimens from Campbellpore which he described as H. hellas.

" Male. Forewing triangular, the edge of the costal margin slightly 

 folded over on to the upperside from near the base to end of the costal 

 vein"; the costal vein extending to three-fifths the margin ; subcostal five- 

 branched, first branch emitted at one-third before end of cell, second and 

 third at equal distances from the first ; fourth and fifth from end of the 

 cell : disco-cellular bent outward near upper end and inwardly oblique 

 hindward ; upper radial from the angle near subcostal, lower radial from 

 the middle ; cell long, extending beyond two-thirds the wing ; three 

 medians, lower at three-fourths and middle median at about one-fourth 

 before end of the cell ; submedian straight ; hindwing short, broad, apex 

 rounded, exterior margin slightly produced and angular at end of sub- 

 median vein ; costal vein extending to the apex ; subcostal touching the 

 costal close to the base, two-branched, first branch at one-fourth before 

 end of the cell ; disco-cellular very slender, almost erect ; the radial from 

 its middle; cell broad, extending to half the wing; two upper medians
