ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO CERTAIN LOCAL 



BUTTERFLY LISTS, WITH THE DESCRIPTION 



OF A NEW SPECIES. 



BY 



Capt. W. H. Evans, R. E. 



The following additions and corrections to certain local lists of butterflies 

 that have appeared from time to time in the Society's Journal may prove of 

 interest. The additions are in nearly every instance the result of personal 

 experience ; in the corrections generic names have not been altered in cases 

 where the specific name is correct. 



" The Butterflies of Chitral." Vol. XIV., p. 666. 



12. Kanetisa sp. — Is only a casual variation of the preceding species 

 Karanasa diyna. 



15. Karanasa cadesia. — Has been placed as a synonym of the preceding 

 species Karanasa huebneri. I am convinced that there are two closely allied 

 though distinct species occurring together in Chitral though Col. Bingham 

 to whom I sent a series did not agree. Mr. Doncaster, of Watkins and 

 Doncaster, classed the specimens as all leechi, Moore, also placed as a 

 synonym of huebneri by Bingham. 



26. Paralasa kalinda = female of No. 25 shallada. 



27. Paralasa sp. = JErebia mani. 



29. Melitcea robertsi = Melitcsa didyma persea. 



30. Melitcea persea = Melitcea didyma chitralensis, an insect which is, 1 

 think, entitled to specific rank. 



31. Melitcea sp. — Is probably a casual variety of No. 29 : the specimen is 

 now in the British Museum. 



32. Melitcea sp. — Melitcea saxatilis shandura, Christoph.: this was identi- 

 fied by Bingham who intended to mention it in an appendix to his vol. 3. 



55a. Vanessa egea interposita : This is the insect mentioned under No 5> 

 as common in the spring. 



56. Libythea lepita = Libythea celtis. 



57. Lyccena medon — Lyccena astrarche. 



58. Lyccena sp. = Lyccena eumedon antiqua, Staudinger. 



59. Lyccena sp. is an aberrant female of No. 58. 



61. Lyccena sp. = Lyccena cytis, Lang : not in Bingham. 



62. Lyccena persica = Lyccena icarus. 



63. Lyccena ariama = Lyccena stoliczkana. 



65. Lyccena sp. — Lyccena sarta : the orange bordered females mentioned 

 under No. 64 belong to this species. 



66. Lyccena sp. — Lyccena devanica. 



67. Lyccena sp. = Lyccena pheretes lehana. 



68. Lyccena metallica = Lyccena ompliisa.
