Subfamily — Nymphalince. 



4. Hypolimnas misippus, Linngeus, Mus. Ulr., p. 264 (1764). 

 Common tlirongliout the neiglibourhood. The females mimic 

 all the four forms of Limnas ; the mimics of L. alcippus and 

 L. dorippus being, however, comparatively rare, 



5. Jttnonia here, Lang, Entomologist, p. 206, Sept., 1884. 

 Common at Lahej, rare in .A.den. This is the Aden form of /. oritliyia. 



6. Junonia clelia, Cramer, Pap. Exot._, vol. i, pi. xxi, figs. E, F 

 (1775). A single specimen at Huswah, 24th June, 1883. 



7. Junonia cehrene, Trimen, Trans. Ent. Soc. Loud., 1870, p. 353. 

 Common everywhere. The African form of J. oenone. 



8. Pyrameis cardui, Linnseus, Syst. Nat., ed. x, p. 475, n. 107 

 (1758). The ubiquitous "Painted Lady" is common throughout the 

 neighbourhood. 



9. Rypanis ilithyia, Drury, 111. Exot. Ent., vol. ii, pi. xvii,figs. 1, 

 2 (1773), A single^speciraen at Huswah, 24th June, 1883. I was 

 shooting hares on this occasion, and sent one of the lascars I had 

 with me as beaters to fetch a hare I had shot ; the man came back 

 carrying the hare in one hand, and holding this butterfly fluttering 

 between the finger and thumb of the other. It was the only specimen 

 I ever met with. 



10. Sypanis castanea, Butler, P. Z, S., 1885, p, 759. Common 

 at Haithalhim, March, 1883. I never met with this butterfly any- 

 where in the district between Haithalhim and Aden, yet I believe 

 that the only two specimens of Hypanis seen in Aden (neither of 

 them caught) belonged to this species. It is quite distinct from 



the last.

13. Catochrysops asopus^ Hoppfer, Ber. Verh. Ak. Berl., 1855, 

 p. 642, n, 22. Common near Lahej, rare in Aden. According to 

 the diagnosis of this genus, Butt. Ind., pp. 175, 176, a slender tail 

 is one of its characteristics ; this species, however^ has no tail, its 

 removal from the genus is therefore possible. Of course the case
