SOME BUTTERFLIES FROM THE INDIAN REGION. 767 



markings from the pale discal band as is the case in all the Andaman 

 examples. 



These differences are constant in all the specimens I have examined ; and 

 I have no doubt as to the distinctness of the two. The insular race is 

 undoubtedly axion ; the N. E. India form is either the race jason, Linnosus, 

 or the parent form eurypylus, Linneeus. 



Huphina nadina. Lucas. 



Huphina andamana. Swinhoe. 



Several males I have received from the Andaman Islands are absolutely 

 indistinguishable from typical nadina, the lacuna of pale colouring in and 

 beyond the cell on the underside of the hindwing being exactly the same 

 as in nadina. This is the characteristic on which andamana has been given 

 specific rank, but it does not appear to be constant. 



Appias lagela. Moore. 



This race of A. lalage, Doubleday, has hitherto only been recorded from the 

 Arakan Coast, Lower Burma and Tenasserim. A male, agreeing exactly 

 with the description of the form in Bingham's Fauna, Butt., Vol. II, page 

 209, and with the specimens in the de Niceville collection, was taken by me 

 on the Peak, above Shillong , 6,000 feet, in October. 



The dry season form of A. lalage is exceedingly common on the higher 

 ranges of the Khasi Hills at this period of the year ; and it may be that 

 A. lagela occurs more frequently than a single capture would indicate, but is 

 overlooked in its resemblance to lalage. 



Terns silhetana. Wallace. 



I have a very quaint aberration of the wet season variety of this species, 

 taken in the Bhutan Terai. The ground colour on the upperside is a very 

 light cream — almost white — but patches and specks of the ordinary rich 

 citron yellow are scattered irregularly and sparingly about the wings, 

 giving the insect a most bizarre appearance. 



Celaenorrhinus spilothyrus. Felder. 



In a short paper on the Butterflies of the Konkan some time ago (Journ., 

 Bom. Nat. Hist. Soc, Vol. XVIII, page 884), I mentioned C. fusca, Hampson, 

 as being found in the Western Ghats. I have recently been analysing and 

 working out a key to the genus, and find that the Khandala insect is 

 C spilothyrus. 



Similarly the Coladenia tissa, Moore, I recorded from Khandala turns out 

 to be G. indrani, Moore. 



Coladenia fatih. Kollar. 



Watson sinks this to C. dan, Fabricius, as do other writers ; Mr. 

 de Nic6ville considered it distinct. I have examined a fairly long series of 

 both forms and find that the one from the Western Himalayas (true fatih) 

 has the hyaline spot at the base of interspace 3 of the forewing subtrian-
