Tiniform dark brown. The larva and pupa are figured on Plate IV^ 

 igures 7 and la, 



105. Tliaduka multzcanelata', K^pore. (Ho. 785.) 



This butterfly we have found in December and January, and also ini 

 April, at one place only, along the road from the village of !Nagar- 

 Bustikeri to Malemane, This is the road travellers to the Falls onf 

 the Gairsoppa river have to traverse. We have only taken seven 

 specimens in allj though a good deal of time has Been expended on 

 searching for them. 



106. ArAopaM cenlaunis, Fabricius. (No. 786.)* 



A very common butterfly all over Canara during the end of the- 

 Sot weather and the early portion of the rains, and occasionally at alt 

 other seasons. 



The larva was- fully described in our fonner paper (page 354 of 

 Vol. V). We have found it on Nopea, Terininalia paniculata, Xylics 

 dolabriformisj and Lagerstrcemia microcarpa, Wgt. The larva and 

 pupa are figured on Plate IV, figures 8 and 8a. 



107. Arhepala amantes, Hewitson. (Ho. 791.) 



Equally or more common than A. centaurus^ Fabricius, and found 

 at the same seasons. The larva, which feeds on the same plants, is- 

 very similar, but differs in the hairs being longer. It is a much paler 

 caterpillar, the 4th and 5th segments and the 10th having the back 

 a clear chrome-yellow instead of brown. It is usually attended by 

 masses of red ants. It is figured at No. 9 on Plate IV. The pupa is so^ 

 similar to that of A. centaunis that differences can only be discovered^ 

 by microscopic examination. 



108. ArJwpala ahsetis, Hewiison. (No. 794.) 



A single specimen of this butterfly, hitherto, we believe, only 

 obtained in Eastern India, was caught by us at Siddapur (above the- 

 ghats, in the south of the district), in the month of January. We- 

 saw anoth-er at Karwar in Jane. 



109, ArJiopala canaraica, Moore. (No. 799.) 



This butterfly is fairly common in the southern portion of the- 

 district, as far north as Kumta. It is also found sparsely in the' 

 Valleys of Supa in the north. We have never noticed it in the 

 Eeighboushood of Karwar. <?s!S^^
