140 LIEUT.-COL. C. SWINHOE ON THE LKPIDOPI'ERA [Feb. 3, 



113. CaTOPSILIA CROCALE. 



Pap. crocale, Cramer, Pap. Exot. i. pi. 55. figs. C, D (1779). 



Poona, June and October ; Ahmednuggur, June ; Belgaum, 

 September ; Bombay, August to November. 



Larvae found feeding on Sumatran Acacia. Larval stage 20 

 days. 



114. Catopsilia heera, u. sp. 



Belgaum, September ; Poona, November and December. 



cJ . Above like a small 0. crocale ; below also coloured like that 

 species, but with a gilded dot at the end of the cell in all the wings, 

 and sometimes with two gilded dots at the end of the cell on the 

 hind wings. 



5 . Above, coloured and marked like C. crocale ; below in all 

 respects like a pale female of C. catilla. 



Expanse of wings, c? $ 2/^ inches. 



This looks like a diminutive hybrid between C. crocale and 

 C. catilla ; but I have a long series from the same localities, all 

 showing the same constant characteristics, and have gone through 

 them with all the specimens of the genus in the British Museum, 

 and am of opinion it is a good species. 



115. Catopsilia CATILLA. 



Pap. catilla, Cram. Pap. Exot. iii. pi. 229. figs. D, E (1782). 



Common everywhere all the year round. Larvae found feeding 

 on Sumatran Acacia, length 1| to 2 inches, in the hot weather, and 

 from 2^ to 3 inches in the rains ; larval stage 18 to 22 days. 



116. COLIAS FIELDII. 



Col.fieldii, Men. Cat. Mus. Petr., Lep. i. p. 79, pi. 1. fig. 5 (1855). 

 Bombay in 1877. I did not observe it in 1882 or 1883. 



117. HeBOMOIA GLAUCIPPE. 



Pap. fflaucippe, Linn. Mus. Ulr. p. 240 (1764). 

 Khandalla Ghats, November and December. 

 It appears to be purely a mountain insect in these parts, and waa 

 never observed in the plains above or below. 



118. IxiAS meridionalis, n. sp. (Plate IX. fig. 5 $ .) 



Poona, June, October, and November ; Ahmednuggur, October 

 and November ; Belgaum, September and October ; Bombay, July 

 to December. 



Allied to /. marianne, Cramer, but altogether a brighter coloured 

 insect. 



cf . Above dififers in the clearer white ground-colour of the 

 wings, with the basal irrorations very thinly blue-grey, the inner 

 black margin of the apical patch of the fore wings narrower, the
