31. Aulocera swaha, Kollar. 



This is the commonest species of the genus found in Mussoorie and 

 in the interior, making its appearance in great numbers at the end of 

 July or the beginning of August, while a few ragged specimens are 

 still to be seen at the end of October. The larva feeds on different 

 grasses, Natural Order Graminece. It is brown, with a rough hairless 

 skin. Mr. A. Grahame Young's observations on the transformations 

 of this species in the Kulu Valley do not agree at all with ours, 

 and the food-plant he gives for it, wild blue Iris, is almost certainly 

 incorrect. 



32. Aulocera saraswati, Kollar. 



Is nearly as numerous in and about Mussoorie as A. swaha, Kollar, 

 but emerges a little later in the season. 



33. Epinephele (Maniola) cheena, Moore. 



Found only in our area by native collectors in the Baspa Valley, an 

 affluent of the Sutlej Eiver, '1n July and August, at an elevation of 

 about 11,000 or 12,000 feet. 



34. Epinephele ( Chortobius) neoza, Lang. 



It is more than doubtful if E. neoza, Lang, and E. pulchra, Felder, 

 (which latter name is the older) can be maintained as distinct species, 

 but we have followed Mr. Moore's distinctions as given in his Lep. 

 Ind., vol. ii, p. 53, in keeping E. neoza for our specimens. It is 

 very common in the higher valleys (especially the Nila Valley) 

 leading into the Upper Ganges and Sutlej valleys, from July to 

 September. 



35. Ypthima baldus, Fabricius. 



Mr. Moore notes in Lep. Ind., vol. ii, p. 62, that he has " Not 

 seen any specimens of true F. baldus from either the Western or 

 Eastern Himalayas." It undoubtedly occurs all along the Himalayas. 

 In Mussoorie and Oehra Dun the dry-season form, T. marshallii, 

 Butler, is very common in March and April, the wet-season form, 

 true Y. baldus, being found from July to October less commonly. 



36. Ypthima indecora, Moore. 



We have specimens of the dry-season brood, true Y. indecora, taken 

 in Mussoorie in March and April, and of the wet-season brood, which 

 has not been separately named, from August to October, It is not very 

 common ,
