NOrJES ON INDIAN BUTTERFLIES. 763 



(25) Amatbusia phidippus, Joh. The type was described from Java ; 

 Fruhstorfer names the continental Indian race friderici. 



(26) Discophora celinde continentalis, Stdg. Fruhstorfer states that 

 celinde, StoU, is a Javan insect, specifically distinct from the Indian 

 continentalis. The latter was described from Sikkim and the Tonkin race 

 is seminecho, stich, which Fruhstorfer thinks is probably the form occurring 

 from Upper Burma to Tenasserim. Celinde has no small yellow scent patch 

 in a bare space on the internal nervure of the hindwing, which is always 

 present in continentalis. Seminecho differs from continentalis in having a 

 curved series of crescentic spots, dull yellow, running from the costal spot 

 beyond the cell as a submarginal band. 



(27) Discophora tullia, Cr., was described from South China. Fruh- 

 storfer states that the oldest name for the North Indian form is „«/, Wd., 

 the wet season form being indica, Stdg. Specimens with no blue spots on 

 the forewing above are despoliata, Stich. Stichel has named the South 

 Indian race muscina ; it was discovered at Karwar, North Kanara, by 

 Davidson, Bell and Aitken (J. A. S. B. 1900). Fruhstorfer gives a complete 

 description of muscina, but does not say how it differs from continentalis from 

 North India. 



(28) Discophora lepida, M. Stichel has named the wet season form 

 sif/nificans. Fruhstorfer separates the Ceylon race as ceylonica : the main 

 difference is that in the females the subapical pale band on the forewing 

 above is broken into spots. 



(29) Cyrestis thyodamas, Bdl. The yellow variety flying in the Hima- 

 layas with the typical form is ganescha, Koll. ; it may occur in either sex 

 but more commonly in the female. 



(30) Cyrestis periander, Fab. The typical form is confined to Siam, and 

 all Indian specimens belong to the larger race binghami, Martin ; the 

 diff'erence, however, is trifling. 



(31) Cyrestis cocies, Fab. This species occurs in three forms ; codes was 

 described from Siam and is an intermediate form, outwardly dark ; natta, 

 Swin., described from Assam, is the darkest form with sepia bases ; the pale 

 form was described as earli by Distant from the Malay Peninsula ; the 

 three forms are connected by intermediates. Andaman specimens only 

 differ in being larger ; an intermediate form between earli and cocies was 

 described by Felder as formosa : the pale form is andanianica, Wm. and 

 DeN. ; the dark form does not seem to occur. In Assam the cocies and 

 earli forms appear to fly together in the autumn, while the natta form 

 occurs by itself in the earlier months of the year, April and May. 



(32) Cyrestis risa, Db. Martin has named the larger, darker spring 

 form transiens. 



(33) Junonia iphita, Cr. Fruhstorfer separates the race from South 

 India, Ceylon and the Maldive Islands as pluviatalis, stating that it is 

 darker and lacks the paler margin of the typical form. 



(34) Junonia lemonias, L. It is rather difficult to follow Fruhstorfer s 

 treatment of this species. Lemonias is the wet season and aonis, Cr., the 

 dry season form from the Himalayas to Burma. Persicaria, Fruh., is said 

 to be a small form occurring at all seasons and in Fruhstorfer's collection 

 from Cashmere, Ceylon and Siam ; vaisya, Fruh., is a form said to occur in 

 Bombay and Luzon. From the letterpress it is not clear how the last two 

 forms are defined or whether they are races or varieties ; persicaria may be 

 a variety with a peach coloured underside and vaisya the small form. 



(35) Junonia orithyia, L. Fruhstorfer confines orithyia, the larger race, 

 with the blue apical spot on the forewing small, to China, and calls the 

 race flying from Sikkim to Tenasserim ocyale, Hub., the wet season of 

 which he names phycites. He separates off two further races from the
