132 Mr. A. G. Butler on Lepidoptera 



XVI. — An Accoimt of three Series of Lepidoptera collected in 

 North-ioest India hi/ Major Yerhury. By ARTHUR G. 



Butler, F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. 



Since the publication of my paper on Lepidoptera from 

 Campbellpore and Murree (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1886, pp. 355- 

 395) Major Yerbury has forwarded to me from time to time 

 no less than three collections, containing eight hundred speci- 

 mens, accompanied by many additional notes of interest ; the 

 series thus brought together enables one to form a very good 

 idea of the fauna of Campbellpore and the neighbourhood, 

 and also of the constancy or variability of the species ; some 

 of those which were represented in his first collection by single 

 specimens are now represented by perhaps a dozen or more, 

 whilst numerous species are added *, of which one is new to 

 science. 



The following is a list of the species. 



Ehopalocera. 



Nymphalidse. 



Danain^. 



1. Tirumala limniace. 

 Papilio limniace, Cramer, Pap. Exot. i. pi. lix. D, E (1779). 

 S ? . Khairabad, 25th July, 1886. 



Var. a. Danais leopardus. 



Danais leopardus, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1866, p. o2. n. 36. 



^. Campbellpore, 30th March, 188G ; Futch Khan's 

 bungalow, 23rd April. 



Var. b. 



Like T. leopardus this has the patch on the interno-median 

 interspace of primaries divided, but the upper half is united 

 by a pedicle to the inner spot of the discal series. 



* Siuce this paper was commenced Major Yerbury has come to England 

 and has brought his private collection and numerous other spec-imens with 

 him, enabling me to introduce many additional species into this account 

 of his captures. All that were required for perfecting the Museum series 

 were most generously presented to the Trustees by Major Yerbury.
