NOTES ON INDIAN BUTTERFLIES. 37 
hewitsoni tavoyana, Doh., Burma. 
4-a. (1-b). @ upf. cell all blue. 
4, (5). @ uph. lower part cell and all space 4 blue ; green rather than blue. 
2 pale blue obscurely shot with violet, black areas asin ¢ but apical spotting 
more developed; uph, sub-marginal dark spots prominent. Below pale 
cinnamon, but sometimes smoky grey in @. 
A. Apical spotting well developed, especially spots beyond cell in 9. In ¢ 
blue colour always extends into 3 upf. 
geta geta, Faw., North Burma to Tavoy. 
B. Apical spotting much reduced, @ spotless and 2 only with sub-marginal 
spots in 2 and 3. In ¢ blue colour does not extend into 3 upf. 
geia regia, nov. Mergui. 
5. (4). @ uph. lower part cell and basal half space 4 black; blue rather 
than green ; upf. the lower edge of the cell is narrowly black from the middle 
to the outer end and the blue colour extends into 3, apex only obscurely spotted; 
uph. marginal spots and sub-marginal dark fascia better developed than usual. 
© rather pale blue with a green tinge, when looked at sideways ; extent of blue 
area and spotting as in male, but latter much more developed ; upf. base dusky, 
leaving a prominent blue spot in middle of cell; uph. costal margin dusky 
and there is sometimes a blue spot in 5 near the margin. Below creamy white, 
catenulated bands rather faint. 
dawna, noy. Eastern Dawnas, 1000 feet. 
6. (1-a). @ uph. cell and whole of space 4 black; rich royal blue with no 
tinge of green, thus presenting an entirely different appearance to the rest 
of the genus; upf. a narrow blue streak inside the cell from the extreme 
base of the lower edge to the middle ; the spotting on the black apex is usually 
very well developed (in the Javan race the apical and the discal blue areas 
merge) but specimens occur, which are entirely black on both wings except 
for a few blue spots. above dark brown with an orange yellow discal 
patch upf. and a discal fascia uph of very variable extent, also uph. some 
more or less obscure orange sub-marginal patches and an ochreous sub-terminal 
line. Below ¢ smoky grey; 2 creamy white. 
erycinoides phraatica, Hew., Burma, 
Key to Simiskina. 
Note.—Males are very alike above, but the pattern is quite differont to Pori- 
tia ; black with brilliant blue or green markings. Upf. a streak from vein 1 
to vein 4 along and below the median vein, outwardly irregular and produced 
outwards in space 2 ; 2 or 3 spots beyond the end of the cell and a complete 
sub-marginal series curved inwards at the upper end; a short diagonal streak in 
the middle of 1-a with a small spot above its outer endin1. Uph. a streak in 1 
from the base to the disc and discal spots above its lower end in 2 and 3; sub-mar- 
ginal spots in 1, 2 and 3, the former being the largest and sometimes conjoined 
to the streak in 1; costa broadly pale brown. Below there is a dark line at 
the end of the cell on both wings, a curved discal and a similar post discal line. 
1. (2-a). Below a white band across both wings in both sexes. @ above 
markings brilliant green. 2 above brown with a prominent white discal spot 
upf. 
phalena, Hew. Assam to Burma, 
z-a. (1) Below no white band. 
2. (3). @ above markings brilliant green; Unf. apex only slightly if at 
all paler. 2 uniform dark brown above. 
pediada, Hew., South Burma. 
3. (2). @ above markings brilliant blue, sometimes tinged with green: unf. 
apex conspicuously paler than the rest of the wings. 2 orange yellow; upf. apex 
and termen dark brown and sometimes with dark brown shading of varying
