wing from E, core^ Cramer. The caterpillars of tLese two are almost as 

 like as the butterflies, the only difference being that the tentacles of 

 E. kollari are.pink and curled at the top, whereas in E, core the front pair 

 are never curled. The marginal band is also much whiter in this specie*. 

 It feeds on several species of Ficus. The chrysallis is similarly shaped 

 to that of E. core, but o£ course larger and of a brilliant golden colour, 

 except on the wing-cases, which are sil Very-green, if that is an 

 admissible combination. The colour is probably variable, but it is 

 distinguished by three pairs of small dorsal black spotsj which ar© 

 likely to be constant. 



Subfamily Satyein^. 



9. Mycalesis mandata^ Moore. 



We have described and figured the larva and pupa of this in our 



former paper, p. 267, n. 5. It feeds on rice and various grasses. The 



butterfly may be found in damp situations at all seasons. It is mos-t 



abundant near rice lands at the end of the rains. 



10. M, mineusy Linnasus. 



The only form of this group that we have bred in Canara appears 

 to be that called M. mineus by Moore in his great work on the 

 " Lepidoptera Indica " now being published, so we give it that name. 

 It is a very common butterfly at all seasons. The transformations 

 have been described in our former paper on p. 26 7, n. 6. 



The form, or species M. visala, Moorej we found common during the 

 dry-season above the ghauts ; we have not bred it. With it, in the same 

 locality, we found the form M. perseus^ Fabricius, which is smaller, 

 and has the rounded apex to the wing in the male, whereas If. visala, 

 Moore, has the apex acute.

More local than the last two and restricted more or less to forest, 

 but common enough both above and below the ghauts. The larva, 

 which feeds on grass, is exceedingly like that of M, mineus, Linnaeus, 

 and so is the pupa. They are distinguishable to one who knows them, 

 but a description would not enable anybody to tell the one from the 

 other. The pupa is stouter and more compact, and the cremaster (stalk) 

 is more bent and never coloured red.
