darles rather better defined ; the bands on the under surface 

 are (as in the male) grey, whereas in A, zena and A. uhaldus 

 they are copper-brown ; the pattern of the bands differs 

 chiefly in their more macular character.

This specimen is of about twice the size of my type, or 

 about as large as the smaller examples of T. nara. Of this 

 form we now possess six specimens.

A very distinct species, readily recognizable by the broad 

 blackish border to the wings. The four preceding forms are 

 all associated by Major Yerbury as the Tarucus theophrastus 

 of De Nic^ville ; if T. extricatus and callinara should prove 

 to be forms of T. nara.^ that species must be very variable. 

 T. venosus is distinct beyond all question, and none of them 

 is the T. theophrastus of Fabricius. Major Yerbury says 

 they are " common at Campbellpore almost all the year round. 

 Common on the lower slopes at Murree and Thundiani in 

 August and September."
