NOTES ON INDIAN BUTTERFLIES. 59 
an even single ochreous streak to vein 2, continuing as a broader, 
but single, dark brown streak to vein 1; on the hindwing the two 
lines at the end of the cell are even and well separated, 
(kh) Semanga superba, Druce, Malacca and Borneo. A single female 
of this species was caught by Mr. E. Fowle on King Island, Mergui, 
and is now in my collection. It is a close ally of Catapecilma 
elegans as regards shape, size and tails; in facies it is startlingly like 
the widely separated Ilerda epicles. Above it is lilac blue with 
brown borders and there is a broad sub-marginal ochreous band 
along the lower part of the termen of the hindwing. Below it is 
ochreous yellow with a narrow brown discal line on the forewing 
and the outer half of the hindwing is reddish brown, interspersed 
with black spots and pale silver blue dashes. 
(7) Some time ago Mr. G. H. E. Hopkins sent me some specimens of 
a small Sarangesa he had captured during the cold season at St, 
Thomas Mount, Madras. It is a close ally of Sarangesa sati, De N., 
but in my opinion differs sufficiently to be accorded specific rank 
and I will call it hopkinsi. nov. Above inky black frosted 
over with minute white scales; unspotted (satt bears numerous 
small hyaline white spots). Below dark brown and spotted after 
the same manner as sati and purendra, but the spots are smaller 
and fewer. The cilia are prominently chequered. Expanse 9 to 1 
inch. 
(j) Isma purpurascens, El, Pulo Laut. Several specimens caught by 
me at the foot of the Dawnas on the East side in January. It is 
very similar to [sma protoclea, but is purple washed below. 
(k) Sepa noctis, Stg. One male at the foot of the Dawnas on the Mast 
side in January. It is a rather small plain brown skipper with a 
pointed forewing. 
(1) <Acerbas nitidifasciata, El, Labuan and Borneo, Two males obtained 
at the foot of the Dawnas on the East side. A rather large 
dark brown skipper bearing white spots on the forewing and distin- 
guished by having on the underside of the hindwing a broad curved 
silver white band with even edges from the costa to the dorsum, 
In anthea this band is very irregular outwardly ; anthea also differs 
in having no cell spots on the forewing and in having a discal white 
band on the hindwing above. 
(m) Telicota paragola, De N. King Island, Mergui. Several specimens 
were obtained in January. Above this form is exactly as typical, 
gola, but below there is a very marked difference, though it is only 
one of degree ; the ground colour is very dark brown and the yellow 
bands on both wings stand out conspicuously ; in the typical form 
the ground colour, except along the dorsum of the forewing, is over- 
laid with yellow scales so that the yellow bands are not nearly go 
“ conspicuous. ; 
38. I am glad to be able to announce that Mr. N. D. Riley of the British 
Museum has undertaken the preparation of Volume III of the Butterflies 
in the Fauna of India series. Its publication will supply a long felt want and 
I am certain that the work could not have been placed in abler hands, 
39. Swinhoe in A. M. N. H. S. 1919 describes ; 
(a) Zephyrus pavo, De N., male from Simla as an insect, which is green 
above. He is wrong. The male of pavo was obtained by Col. 
Tytler in the Naga Hills (J. B. N. H. 8, XXIV 125) and closely 
resembles the female ; I have a pair in my collection. This species 
is certainly not to be caught anywhere near Simla and Swinhoe’s 
insect: is a variety of syla, ataxus or birupa.
