THE BUTTERFLIES OF TEE NORTH CANADA DISTRICT. 377 



88. Nacaduha dana, de Nicevillc. (No. 731.) 



We have only taken a few of this butterfly, and all, the localities 

 of which we have recorded, were from the Siddapur taluka, in the 

 south of the district above the ghats, or from the Supa petta. 



89. Jamides bochus, Cramer. (No. 733.) 



This is one of the most local Lycenidm in the district, but we have 

 occasionally taken it both above and below the ghats. 



The larva, which we have taken at Karwar in June, is hardly 

 distinguishable from that of Catoclirysops pandava^ Horsfield ; it is, how- 

 ever, covered with minute hairs, and is generally of an olive-green 

 colour and without the reddish suffusion so generally noticed in 

 C. pandava. The pupa is indistinguishable from that of C. pandava. 

 The larva feeds on Xylia dolabriformis, and also on the flowers of 



Butca frondosa. 



90. Lampides elpis, Godart. (No. 734.) 



Fairly common both above and below the ghats, wherever there 

 are evergreen jungles or gardens planted with cardamoms 



The larva feeds on the flowers and seeds of the cultivated cardamom 

 and also on those of KcEmpfa3ria pandurata. It is very similar to that 

 of L. celenOj Cramer, but is, of a pink hue, with well-defined stripes 

 of red dorsally and laterally. 



The pupa, which is formed inside the fruit, or in the cluster of dead 

 flowers above the fruit, is smooth and of a dull yellowish-brown, 

 marked with interrupted dorsal bands of a darker brown. In shape 

 it is similar to L, celeno. 



91. Lampides celeno, Ci-amer =ceUanus, Fabricius. (No. 738.) 



A very common butterfly everywhere in Canara. The larva, 

 which generally feeds on the Kurunj {Pongamia glabra), but which 

 we have also found feeding on the flowers and in the pods of Abrus 

 precatorms, has been fully described in Mr. de Niceville's " Butterflies 

 of India," vol. iii, at page 161. The pupa is of the ordinary 

 shape of the small blues, and is quite smooth. 



92. Catoclirysops strabo, Fabricius. (No. 743.) 



A common butterfly in the cold weather above the ghats, and 

 locally along the coast. We have net obtained it at Karwar in the 

 rains. 



. We have reared the larva on the flowers of Ougelnia dalbergioides, 

 and on Scldcichera trijuga. They are of the usual shape, head light
