Chennellii, DeN. is placed in the new genus Bothrinia, first called 

 Bothria, but the name was found to be pre-occupied. In Bothrinia the 

 clasp is as in Everes, the neuration as in Zizera and the facies as in 

 Lyccenopsis. 



The Indian species of Lyccenopsis are given as : (1) transpecta, M. (2) 

 oreas, Leech, (3) puspa, Hors. (= cyanescescens. DeN.), (4) argiolus, L.(= 

 hueyeli, M. coelestina, Koll., victoria, Swinh, and sikkima, M. (5) albidisca, M. (6) 

 marginata, DeN., (7) limbata, M. (= placida, DeN. and jynteana, DeN.), (8) 

 dilecta, M. (9) lanka,'M., (10) akasa, Hors. (11) melaena, Doh., (12) sinyalensis, 

 Fd.. (13) alboccerulea, M. Lilacea, Hamp. is not mentioned. 



Oreas is a Chinese insect and the Indian form, of which there are a few 

 specimens from the Khasi Hills in the British Museum, has been separated 

 by Swinhoe as oreana. It is equal in size to hueyeli and sinyalensis and may 

 be recognized by the four discal spots on the underside of the hind- 

 wing being in a regular line, large, prominent and well separated from the 

 others. 



Hueyeli, ccelestina and sikkima are said to be paralleled by limhata, placida 

 and Jynteana : Zw?i6aia forms can always be separated by the third spot on 

 the underside of the fore wing being slightly oblique. The following argiolus 

 forms are described ; puspargiolus from Assam mimicking puspa ; bothrinoides 

 flying with and mimicking chennellii ; albocceruleoides, locality not given, 

 mimicking alboccerulea. These all appear to be dry season forms ; the 

 last named agrees with the dry seoson form from the Naga Hills. In my 

 list of Indian butterflies, J. B. N. H. S. XXI, 982, I have pointed out 

 that jynteana, De Niceville's and Moore's types, are forms of aryiolus and 

 not of limbata. 



Sinyalensis is said to only occur in Ceylon, Java and Sumatra. 



The paper is illustrated with excellent photographs of the genitalia of 

 the various species dealt with. 



I have generally followed Dr. Chapman's arrangement in my list, but 

 have retained the name Cyaniris and have placed his new genera as sub- 

 genera. 



5. Revision of the Zizeeriidse based on an examination of the male genit- 

 alia. Dr. T. A. Chapman, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1910, 479. Moore in describing 

 Zizera gave as his type alsus though intending the genus for karsandra, yaika 

 and indica. Dr. Chapman states that alsus is very dift'erent to these three 

 forms and, as the name Zizera must therefore be abandoned, proposes to 

 replace it by Zizeeria, type karsandra, M. In Seitz's Palsearctic Lepidop- 

 tera, minima, Fuess ( =^alsus, W. V. ) still figures under Zizera and so Dr. 

 Chapman's reasons for abandoning the name are not altogether clear. 



The group included heretofore under Zizera are called the Zizeeriidcs and 

 are split up as follows : 



(1). Zizeeria, type karsandra, M. ; other species lysimon, Hub., maha 

 KoU, ossa, Swin. Clasps soldered together for some distance basally 

 extremities broad and furnished with bold teeth. 



(2). Zizina, type labradus ; other species sanyra, M. and indica. Mur, 

 Clasps only slightly soldered together, terminal teeth minute, a solitary 

 hair, thick and clubbed arising close to the base. 



(3). Zizula, type and only known species yaika, Fab. Forewing vein 

 11, joining vein 12 and not again separating from it, i.e., it forms merely a 

 bar from the cell to vein 12. Clasps as Zizina. 



iy.s«;wre is the European and African form: karsandra the Asiatic form. 

 On the forewing below the discal row of spots in lysimon are small, even and 

 slightly curved ; in karsandra these spots are large, of varying size and in a 

 much bent row.
