1886. | LEPIDOPTERA FROM WESTERN INDIA. 367 
44, CYANIRIS VARDHANA. 
Polyommatus vardhana, Moore, P.Z.S. 1874, p. 572, pl. 66. 
fig. 5. 
3 2, Murree, 28th August, 3rd and 8th September, 1885. 
«Not uncommon at Murree at the end of August ; was for a long 
time passed over as C. celestina.”’—J. W. Y¥. 
C. vardhana is rather a rare species in collections. 
45. CYANIRIS KOLLARI. 
Lycena kollari, Westwood, Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 491. n. 69 (1852). 
Lycena ceelestina, Kollar (nec Eversm.), Higel’s Kaschm. iv. 2, 
p. 423 (1848). 
3 2, Murree, 12th August; 9, 28th December, 1885. 
“Very common, August and September.’—J. W. Y. 
This species being new to the Museum collection, I cannot 
question the identification, more especially as Kollar’s description 
would do just as well for half a dozen other species; at the same 
time Kollar’s name having been already used by Eversmann, cannot 
possibly be admitted. C. kollari is more like typical C. pseudar- 
giolus than any other species known to me; but is smaller ; it should 
probably stand next to C. levettii in collections. 
46. ZizERA DILUTA. 
3. Lycena diluta, Felder, Reise der Nov., Lep. ii. p. 280. n. 353, 
pl. 35. figs. 12, 13. 
9, Campbellpore, 17th June and 23rd July; ¢, 9th October ; 
9, Murree, 2nd, 5th, and 6th August, and 20th September. 
“ Zizera maha, De N., diluta, Swinh. Common at Murree in 
August and September.” —J. W. Y. 
In spite of Felder’s very poor figure of the upper surface, I have 
neyer seen any other than this species that could be identified with 
Z, diluta; it has hardly a feature in common with Z. maha, which 
is much nearer to Z. chandala. The specimens of this species were 
all females, with the exception of two worn ones, and one of these 
was labelled as probably a Moth; the females stand under the 
numbers 7, 72, 12 a, and 527. 
47. ZizERA KARSANDRA. 
Polyommatus karsandra, Moore, P.Z.S. 1865, p. 505. n. 106, 
pl. 31. fig. 7. 
3 @, Campbellpore, 21st May and June; 9, Murree, Ist Oc- 
tober, 1885. 
“ Zizera maha and Z. sangra apud de Nicéville; Z. decreta and 
karsana apud Swinhoe: very common in the grass and_lucerne- 
fields in May and June; though many of them differed, still they all 
seemed linked to one another, and I put them all under one 
number.”—J. W. ¥. } 
Major Yerbury was perfectly correct in so doing; 1 find only males
