.4 LIST 01 BUTTERFLIES OF THE PALNI HILLS. 389 



169. Aeromachus dubius. — Fairly common above 5,000 feet in May, June, 

 August to October. 



170. Hyarotis adrastus. — Seen at 2,000 feet in September. 



171. Arnetta vindhiana. — Rare from 2,000 to 5,000 feet in September. 



172. Notocrypta restricta. — Rare in Tiger Sholah, May, June. 



173. Udaspesfolus. — Seen near the Lake in September. 



174. Cupitha purreea. — One male near the Tope, September. 



175. Telicota bambusce. — Rare at low elevations, September. 



176. Telicota concinna. — Rare in Tiger Sholah, September. 



177. Telicota yola. — Two at 2,000 feet, September. 



178. Telicota dara. — Fairly common to 6,000 feet, August to October. 

 Very variable as usual. I follow Elwes and Edwards in considering mcesa, 

 mcesoides, pseudomcesa, etc., as synonyms of dara. 



179. Halpe ceylonica. — Two specimens at 2,000 feet in September ; they 

 agree exactly with specimens I caught in Kandy. 



180. Halpe honorei. — One male at 2,000 feet in October. 



181. Halpe everskedi, n. sp. — I obtained two specimens of a Halpe in 

 Tiger Sholah in September and there is a specimen in Mr. Evershed's 

 collection ; as far as I can ascertain it is different to any species yet des- 

 cribed and as Mr. Evershed was the first to capture it I name it after him. 

 My specimens, both males, are closely allied to Halpe sitala from the 

 Nilgiris only differing in the following particulars : upperside — no ochreous 

 patch on the hindwing ; underside — apex of forewing and disc of hindwing 

 broadly ferrugineous ochreous, this area on the hindwing being crossed by 

 two rows of ill-defined black spots ; there are no traces of the white spots 

 to be seen on the hindwing of sitala on the underside. 



182. Parnara sinensis. — Males were fairly common in Tiger Sholah in 

 September but I did not see a female ; the local form differs from the North 

 Indian form in having only one, or oftener no spot on the handwing above ; 

 on the hindwing below the spot at the end of the cell is always prominent 

 but the discal row is reduced to two or rarely three spots. 



183. Farnara mathias. — Common at all elevations in May, June, August 

 to November. 



184. Farnara colaca. — Common at low elevations, August to October. 



185. Parnara bevani. — Rare, but seems to occur at all elevations in 

 September. 



186. Parnara humara. — One female in Tiger Sholah, September. 



187. Hasora chabrona. — Not rare at high elevations in September and 

 October. 



188. Hasora chromus. — Common at all elevations in September ; Dr. 

 Campbell found it rare in May and June and notes that it appears from 7 

 to 8 a.m. and from 5 p.m. to sunset. 



189. Hasora alexis. — Common at high elevations, May, June and Sep-
