106 a. Delias eucharis. 



Pap. eucharis, Druiy, 111. Exot. Ent. ii. pi. 10. figs. 5, 6 (1/73). 



Common everywhere all the year round. Larvae feed on San- 

 talum album, length 1^ inch, colour greenish brown. Pupa pale 

 yellow, spotted black, suspended by a thread round the body ; they 

 are much troubled by the Ichneumon, and of fifteen pupae found on 

 a gate-jjost at Poona, only one had escaped, the Ichneumon-larvse 

 being clearly visible through the skin of the pupa, there being from 

 two to seven larvas in each pupa. 



107. Nepheronia gaea. 



Nepheronia gaea, Felder, Reise Nov., Lep. ii. p. 130 (1865). 



Poona, November to April ; Bombay, October to November. 



I have two female examples taken at Poona in November, with 

 yellow on the abdominal border of the hind wings, above as in 

 females of N. happia. 



108. Nepheronia hippia. 



Pap. hippia, Fabr. Mant. Ins. ii. p. 55 (1787). 



Bombay, October, November, and December. 



The male of this species has a much deeper black border to the 

 hind wings than in the preceding species, and the female is alto- 

 gether a darker insect, and has generally a good deal of chrome- 

 yellow on the hind wings ; at least this is the case with all the 

 females of this species I have yet met with, whereas out of all the 

 numerous examples of N. gaea I have taken (much the commoner 

 species in the Deccan), I have only seen two with any yellow on 

 them at all. n
