Typical ceylanica ( a w. s. f.) is 

 confined to Ceylon ; its. d. s.f. 

 fraterna ( =spiculifera) oc- 

 curs in S. India and Ceylon, 

 while in certain parts of S. 

 India it seems to grade with 

 hippia. Pingasa seems to be 

 a w. s. f. confined to S. India. 

 I believe that pingasa and 

 ceylanica are races of the 

 same species and possibly hip- 

 pia may eventually turn out 

 to be conspecific. More dated 

 specimens from all districts 

 are wanted, Naraka presents 

 certain constant, though small, 

 differences. 



In the arrangement of the Lycae- 

 ninse Bingham has more or 

 less been followed : Swinhoe's 

 arrangement is very different.
