362 Col. C. Swinlioe on new Indian Butterflies. 



half ; base also slightly irrorated ; apical patch black, covering- 

 more than one third of the costa, and fining down to the 

 hinder margin, before reaching which it becomes attenuated; 

 interior margin of the patch slightly curved into the patch, 

 more or less diffuse, running in on the veins, and with a bent 

 knob on the second median branch in the female. Hind wing 

 with a pale narrow marginal band, inwardly diffuse, becom- 

 ing gradually obsolete towards the anal angle. 



Underside : fore wing white, a broad costal band and apical 

 patch pale greenish brown smeared with yellow ; a large sub- 

 apical yellow patch near the costa. Hind wing greenish 

 yellow ; median vein and a large shadowy band greenish 

 brown ; this band crosses the wing, covering the apical and 

 discal portions, and has in it some large spots of the ground- 

 colour of the wing., 



The female only differs from the male in having more 

 rounded wings and in being paler below. 



Expanse of wings, <$ 2 T \j-, ? 1-& inch.

Allied to H. remba, Moore, but is uniformly smaller ; differs 

 above in its much smaller apical patch of fore wings, its 

 nearly pure white hind wings, and in its paler and yellower 

 coloration below, particularly so in the female ; in H. remba 

 the brown band fills up the whole subcostal interspace and 

 more than one third of the cell, whereas in H. liqidda it is 

 altogether clear of the cell and is purely discal. 



I have H. remba from the Nilgiri Hills, from Calicut, and 

 from Kanara, whence the type came. 



Hesperidse.

S ? • Upperside dark vinous brown. Fore wing with three 

 semidiaphanous minute spots before the apex, the centre one 

 the innermost, the upper one the smallest; two larger spots 

 at the end of the cell (absent in the female), the upper one 

 the smaller : three spots in the disk, the largest in the first 

 median interspace, square above and pointed outwardly below 

 on the first median branch ; the second outside the first, 

 smaller, more or less square, in the second median interspace ; 

 the third minute and round, but generally larger than the 

 subapical spots, outside the second and in the lower radial 

 interspace, — the female has an additional spot in a line with 

 the others in the interno-median interspace, with its lower 

 side touching the submedian vein, and about the same size as
