and consequently considers that it is nearly allied to the Euphonice. 

 It is to be hoped that we shall know ere long which of these 

 statements is correct. It would be also highly desirable to ascertain 

 the structure of the stomach in the other genera placed near to 

 Euphonia, particularly that of the genus Procnias. I propose on 

 some future occasion to publish a supplementary list describing the 

 condition of the stomach in any other forms that I may have an 

 opportunity of examining.

(Plate XV.) 



The following species were collected by Dr. Watt, Professor of 

 Botany in the Calcutta University ; some of them I enumerate for 

 the sake of (he notes on habits and date of appearance which accom- 

 pany them, and others because they prove to be new to science. 



Nymphalid^. 

 Satyrin^, Bates. 



1. AULOCERA BRAHMINUS. 



Satyrus brahminus, Blanchard, Jacquem. Voy. dans I'lnde, iv. 

 Ins. p. 22. n. 18, pi. 2. fig. 4, c? . 



Aulocera werang, Lang, Ent. Month. Mag. iv. p. 247 (1868). 



Ravee Basin, up to 6000 feet. 



Mr. Moore kindly pointed out to me that the sexes figured by 

 Blanchard are referable to distinct species, the male being the 

 A. werang of Lang. 



2. HlPPARCHIA DIFFUSA, n. Sp. 



2 ■ Closely allied to H. seinele, from which it principally differs 

 in the obscured and diffused character of the ochraceous patches en- 

 closing the ocelli on the upper surface of the primaries ; on the 

 under surface the white belt is well marked, more so than in any 

 specimens oiH. semele which I have seen. Expanse of wings 2 inches 

 I line.

In pine-forests, Ravee Basin, up to 12,000 feet. 



4. Callerebia hybrida. 



Dr. Watt obtained a series of a Callerebia exhibiting intermediate 

 forms between C. annada and C. nirmala. In the coloration of the
