40. AZANUS URANUS, sp.n. (Plate XXXV. fig. 1.) 
3. Allied to A. zena, but differing from all specimens in the 
Museum series, or that of Mr. Moore’s collection, in the much 
brighter and more uniform lilac colour of the upper surface’, in the 
brighter blue at the base, the browner tint of the under surface, on . 
which the white-edged markings are consequently less well defined, 
and in the obsolete character of the black spots, which are either 
reduced to minute points or wholly absent. Expanse of wings 
21-22 millim. 
Hassan Abdal, 13th October; Campbellpore, 17th and 29th No- 
vember, 1885. 
41. AZANUS UBALDUS. 
Lycena ubaldus, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. pl. 390. figs. L, M (1782). 
Q@, near Attock Bridge, Khairabad side, 15th November, 1885. 
This species was unidentified, and specimens of A. uranus indi- 
cated as A. ubaldus, whilst others of the same species were simply 
recorded as ‘“‘ Lycena sp.” 
42. TARUCUS NARA. 
Lycena nara, Kollar in Hiig. Kaschm. iv. 2, p. 421 (1848). 
3, Campbellpore, June; id.? (worn), 17th November, 1885. 
“ Tarucus theophrastus, very common May and June; it is pro- 
bable that 7’. nara was also among some of the captures placed under 
this number.”—J. W.Y. 
T. theophrastus is an African species; the Butterflies so named 
by Col. Swinhoe probably represent two or more new species, of which 
the following is one :— 
43. TARUCUS EXTRICATUS, sp.n. (Plate XXXV. fig. 2.) 
Paler than 7. nara above, varying in size even more than 7’. dal- 
kanica; readily distinguished on the under surface by the much 
greater regularity of the markings, those of the primaries being 
arranged nearly as in 7’. theophrastus (i. e. the central stripe is often 
unbroken, the subcostal spot beyond sometimes confluent with it so 
as to form a F-shaped marking; the dashes beyond the central 
stripe placed transversely and always confluent instead of forming 
an interrupted <-shaped character); the markings of the secondaries 
vary in colour from rust-red to black, but correspond in character 
with those of Z. nara. Expanse of wings, ¢ 15-25 millim., 
Q 28-30 millim. 
3d, Campbellpore, 31st May, 1885. 
We have two females of this species from Kurrachee, collected by 
Col. Swinhoe, and a male collected by Sir John Hearsay at Landoor ; 
thirteen other specimens also representing the 7. theophrastus of 
Indian lists, but apparently belonging to another unnamed form, 
are in our collection. 
In A. zena it is chiefly confined to the centre of the wings, and has almost 
the appearance of a brand,
