59. Lyc^na sp. 



One specimen caught in the same locality in August ; very dark velvety 

 brown or black above ; dull dark grey below. A spot at the end of the cell, 

 a spot on the costa and a straight discal row of four spots, all black with 

 pale borders and a narrow black marginal line, pale bordered on the fore- 

 wing. The base of the hindwing is powdered black and green ; there is a 

 spot at the end of the cell and a curved discal row of spots black with white 

 borders, the posterior one being geminate ; also a marginal row of orange 

 and black lunules and a narrow anteciliary line. The above two may be 

 new species. 



60, Lycena iris, Staudinger. 



Locally common at 6,000—10,000 feet from May to August, A small dark 

 butterfly of the usual Lyccena type, dark grey below with large black, white 

 bordered spots ; the two spots at the anal angle are sprinkled with metallic 

 green scales. New to India. 



61. Lyc^na sp. 



Twelve specimens caught on the shores of the Shandur Lake in July and 

 August. A small blue butterfly, rather like the preceding in shape and 

 markings, but the spots below appear quite distinctly above as well. The 

 female is brown above. New to India, and perhaps a new species. 



62. L^sc^NA PERSiCA, Butler. 



Very common at 4,000—10,000 feet from April to October. The female is 

 very variable, some are completely brown above, some blue only at the base, 

 others blue with brown or light yellow margins, 



63. Lyc^na ariana, Moore. 



Common at 6,000 — 13,000 feet. Several males obtained on the Baroghil 

 Pass were light silvery blue above. 



64. Lyo^na loewii, Zeller, 



Common from May to August at 6,000—8,000 feet. The ordinary female 

 is very constant, being brown with some orange.near the anal angle ; on both 

 wings below the margin is bordered with orange, and the two spots at the 

 anal angle are sprinkled with green. Six females were caught at 8,000 feet 

 in the Tarben nallah in August, which had orange borders to both wings 

 above, the orange being more or less diffused inwards on the forewing. 

 Underneath there is no orange margin to the forewing, and there is a 

 great deal more white about the hindwing. All the six specimens were 

 constant in their markings and colouration. One specimen was caught in 

 the same locality of a dull lead colour above with white unspotted cilia ; 

 there are a few black spots at the anal angle, surrounded with bluish 

 grey. Below, it is similar to the form just described. 



65, LYCiENA sp. 



Several insects caught on "Sanitarium Hill" near Drosh in July very 

 like L. Lcewii ; the blue colouration resembles L. Ariana; there is a spot 

 at the end of the cell. Underneath there are several prominent white 

 patches on the hindwing, and the orange and green at the anal angle is
