NOTUS ON INDIAN BUTTERFLIES. 767 



melanotic, albicans, Fruh., the albinotic and parva, Verity, a small mountain 

 form of the race viridicajis, Fruh. 



(80) Parnassius charltonius, Gray. Deckerti, Verity, is a variety with 

 very red ocelli on the hind wing. 



(81) Prioneris clemanthe, Db. Fruhstorfer calls the race flying from the 

 Shan States to Tenasserim helferi, Fd. ; darker, with the veins on the 

 underside of the forewing united by bands. 



(82) Gonepteryx zaneka, M. Verity considers this to be a race of the 

 Chinese aspasia, Men. 



(83) _ Pareronia Valeria hippia, Fab. The yellow variety of the female is 

 2)hilomela, Fab., not liviUa, Fruh., as given by me. 



(84) Lycaenesthes emoius topa, Evans. This proves to be a synonym of 

 Nacaduba hampsoni, DeN., and I regret having described it. 



(85) llerda androcles, Db. In separating the Eastern race as viridis, I am 

 sorry to say that I overlooked the fact that the typical form was described 

 from Sylhet ; the name of the race from the Western Himalayas is coruscans, 

 M., and the name viridis must be sunk. 



(86) Chpysophanus caspius evansii, DeN. Swinhoe describes this insect as 

 having a tail ; in his figure the tail is omitted and Swinhoe gives a special 

 note to say that the tail has been omitted by mistake. There is of course 

 no tail. 



(87) Chrysophanus phloeas, L. The Indian forms appear to fall into two 

 perfectly distinct races, stygianus, But., a pale form from Baluchistan to 

 Kashmir and timeus, Or., a much darker form from Kashmir to Kumaon. 



(88) Rapala buxaria, DeN. According to Swinhoe this should be called 

 rectivitta, M. 



(89) Tajuria thyia, DeN. Druce, P. Z. S. 1902, describes ^Ja^/escews, a pale 

 form from the Jaintia Hills, probably belonging to the dry season. 



(90) Tajuria drucei. Swinhoe describes this as a new species from a 

 unique female from the Shan States. Nearly allied to longinus, Fab., which 

 Swinhoe gives as cippus, Fab., paler, forewing more acute : on the fore- 

 wing the black border is very narrow at the dorsum and there is no black 

 on the hind wing : the underside is much paler. 



(91) Tajuria yajna, Doh. Swinhoe keeps istroideia, DeN., separate and 

 places his teza as the dimorphic female of it. 



(92) Tajuria jangala ravata, M. Swinhoe considers the very distinct 

 race andamanicics, Wm. and DeN., to be inseparable from ravata. 



(93) Chiiaria kina, Hew. Swinhoe keeps cachara, M. separate giving it 

 from Sikkim and Cachar ; paler, clearer colour, forewing longer and anal 

 angle hindwing produced : under forewing, 3 upper spots in line, second 

 spot not shifted inwards. 



(94) Chiiaria watsoni, Swinhoe describes this as a new species from 

 the Karen Hills, only the male known. Closely allied to merguia, Doh., but 

 above purple not blue, the black border narrow and not even, but narrow- 

 ing towards the dorsum. It would appear to be the dry season form of 

 onerguia. 



(95) Biduanda thesmia, Hew. Swinhoe gives this as fabricii, M. The 

 Indian form should stand as thesmia fabricii. 



(96) Marmessus lysias, Fab. Swinhoe records in addition moorei, Dist., 

 the Malay race, which Doherty is said to have obtained in Mergui : it 

 differs in having no red band in the male and a very narrow one in the 

 iemale. 



(97) Cherltra f reja jaff ra, But. Swinhoe keeps the Ceylon form sepa- 

 rate as psfiudo-jaffra, M.; smaller and more silvery white below. 



(98) Orthopaetus phanaeus, Hew. According to Swinhoe this insect does 

 mot occur in India and what Watson called ^Aawcews was really lalita, Doh.
