yellow, margined with brown ; body light rose, covered with tiny star- 

 topped stems, so arranged as to make diagonal whitish lines to each 

 segment ; a subdorsal line on the back ; anal segment nearly square ; 

 the margin of the body clothed with light-coloured and longish hair. 



Pupa of the usual form, covered with stiff erect hair; colour light rose, 

 with a black patch on the second segment and centre of thorax ; it has 

 also a dark dorsal line, and the lower segments are smudged with black. 



93. Catochrysops cnejus, Fabricius. (No. 745.) 



This butterfly we have found in similar places and times to Cato- 

 chrysops strabo, Fabricius, but it is hardly as common. 



The larv33 and pupte we have found indistinguishable from the 

 lastj and on the same plants. 



94. Catochrysops pcmdava, Horsfield. (No. 750.) 



One of the commonest butterflies in Karwar during the rains, and 

 noticed at other seasons. Its larvas may be found any month from 

 May to November, and probably at all other seasons when its food 

 plants have young shoots. Its commonest food is the jamha (Xylia 

 dolabrlformis)^ but we have occasionally taken it on Wagatea spicata. 

 The larva is of the usual woodlouse form, smooth, and much flattened 

 underneath ; it is usually of a darkish green, with a broad dorsal 

 band, narrowing towards the head ; the sides have a number of faint 

 oblique pinkish lines ; the head is small and dark green. It is 

 attended by ants. 



The pupa much resembles that of L. celeno, Cramer, but is smaller, 

 much narrower, and less flattened ; it is of a darkish green as a rule, 

 with a darker dorsal tand. 



95. Tarucus theopkrasfAis, Fabricius. (No. 752.) 



Is a rare butterfly in Canara, a few only being seen in the cold weather 

 in the east of the district and along the opener portions of the coast. 



The form we get here is the very small one which has been 

 separated as T, nara, Kollar. 



We have reared this in Bombay on Zhypkus jvjnha, as mentioned 

 in our former paper. 



96. Tarucus jd-hiius, 'Fahricins. (No. 758). 



Also an uncommon butterfly in Canara, We look two or three 

 specimens in Juno on the top of a hill near Karwar. These are the 

 only si)ecimens of which we have records. <^""
