Donovan's figure (Insects of India, pi. 41. f. 3), which has been referred to as intended to 

 represent this species, is evidently the upperside of his figure 2 of the same plate, Thecla Tyrtaus 

 of Fabricius {Polyommatus Hugon of Godart), and is a very good figure, representing the 

 two tails. 



11. Deudorix Dioetas, Hewitson. Plate VII. figs. 6 14, 2 13, 15. 



Uppekside. Male. — Dark brown : the centre of all the wings pale yellow. 



Underside. Both wings crossed beyond the middle by a continuous common rufous 

 band ; its outer border white, zigzag near the anal angle of the posterior wing, and bordered on 

 both sides with silvery white near the inner margin : both wings with an indistinct submarginal 

 rufous band. Posterior wing faded : the caudal spot and the lobe black, the space between 

 them irrorated with black and white. 



Female. — Rufous brown : the centre of the anterior wing and a large por- 

 tion of the posterior wing beyond the middle rufous. On the underside it scarcely differs 

 from the male.

Upperside. Male. — Rufous brown : the centre of both wings rufous. Posterior wing 

 tailed. 



Underside rufous brown. Anterior wing with two large spots before the middle ; posterior 

 wing with two or three spots : both wings crossed beyond the middle by a band of brown, slightly 

 undulated on the anterior wing and bordered outwardly with ivhite, broken into spots on the 

 posterior wing and bordered on both sides with white : both with an indistinct band of brown 

 near the outer margin. Posterior wing with the caudal spot, the lobe, and a large spot between 

 them, which is irrorated with silvery blue, all black : a silver spot above the lobe. 



Female, which is rufous brown above, glossed with blue, does not differ from 

 the male on the underside, except that the spots of the posterior wing are smaller and of 

 somewhat different form.
