904 THE KNTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. — 
water,. which in the ordinary course of events are a certain attraction, 
and it is a common sight to see dozens of Catopsilia, especially C. 
crocale, and I am not exaggerating when | say, scores of Yertas 
swarming over a patch of wet mud. At the end of three days this 
migration ceased, and the Catopsilias behaved in a normal fashion, 
and did not seem to be increased or decreased in numbers. During 
the migration the hours of flight were from sunrise to sunset, and 
during these hours the kites and mynahs levied very heavy toll, while 
after dusk the mongooses carried on the work so that the ground was 
covered with wings. 
Terias libythea, T. hecabe and T. sari.—Wete generally abundant, 
but I will not say anything about these, beyond that I took a long 
series, for so far they have beaten me in the matter of identification, 
as they vary to a considerable extent, especially 7’. hecabe, so that one 
species overlaps the other, and until I get time to examine the 
genitalia, I should not like to give a definite opinion as to which is 
which. The other species, 7’. laeta, was rare, but is easily identified by 
the different shape of the primaries. 
Colotis amata.—Generally scarce. I only saw about half-a-dozen, 
and these were restricted to a compound with a piece of rough ground. 
Colotis eucharis.—This beautiful little insect was abundant on the 
plains and was very conspicuous on the wing, its favourite localities 
being barren country with a few thin blades of grass. It is apparently 
single brooded but is on the wing for a considerable period, viz., from 
early July to middle of September. During this period they may be 
found in every possible condition. 
Hoboiotia glaucippe race australis—Generally common flying 
swiftly round the tops of mango trees, but I was only able to secure a 
single male. 
Pareronia hippia.—A single, male only seen flying in a small wood. 
Cyaniris puspa.—A few males only taken in a small wood. 
Generally, with a few exceptions, I found the Lycenids scarce in the 
Bangalore district. I believe them to be more abundant in the hills 
round, but as I did not get an opportunity to go more than 10 miles 
from barracks, I was not able to sample that country, and could only 
look on the distant hills with envy. 
_ Zizxra maha and Z. gaika.—Both species fairly abundant on the 
surrounding plains. 
Azanus ubaldus and A. wranus.—Fairly plentiful in the district, 
although I spent considerable time working the Lycznids I could not 
find any variation, compared with that in the British species. 
Talicada nyseus.—Searce. I only saw 3 or 4 males. 
Lampides bochus.—This beautiful little butterfly, which rivals the 
Morphos in colour if not in size, was very abundant in July flying 
round acacia bloom, but difficult to obtain in good condition. 
Lampides celeno.—Abundant on any small flowers. 
Catochrysops strabo and C. enejus.—Both abundant. 
Larucus theophrastus ?—Very abundant in restricted areas flying 
round and settling on Zisiphus jubata ; it was most abundant on the 
parade ground of Baird Barracks. JI am very doubtful as to the 
‘identity of this insect, as in northern India I found another butterfly 
‘similar in appearance but averaging at least 2mm. larger in expanse. 
Also the coloration of the male of the latter is similar to that of the
