(36) Bapala xenophon, Fab, is said to be Javan, the Indian race being 

 suffusa, M, What we have hitherto called xenophon, is said to be dieneces. 

 Hew, of which intermedins, Std, is the Andaman race. 



(37) Bapala melampus. Or., is confined to S. India and Ceylon and 

 jarbas, Fab, is the race from N.-E. India and Burma. Fruhstorfer, how- 

 ever, modifies his views in the reference quoted in Note 39 above, where 

 he says jarbas is quite distinct and that melampus is a very rare insect 

 only found in Mussoorie. The treatment of these two species is rather 

 a good example of the very sketchy methods adopted by Fruhstorfer. 



(38) The genera Virachola and Lehera are sunk to Deudoryx, perhaps a 

 wise step. 



(39) Deudoryx epijarbas, M., is given from S. India and Oeylon, with the 

 following races : ancus, Fruh, N.-W. Himalayas to Sikkim ; amatius, Fruh, 

 Assam to Tonkin. Perhaps he does not know that tbis species occurs in 

 the Andamans or a name would be at once forthcoming. 



(40) Deudoryx perse. Hew, is given from the N.-W. Himalayas to Sikkim : 

 race ghela, Fruh, S. India and Oeylon ; race maseas, Fruh, Andamans ; 

 smilis, Hew, was described from East India and is taken to represent the 

 race from Tenaserim and Malay Peninsula. 



(41) Deudoryx skinneri, W. M. & DeN., is considered as the name for a 

 variety of the female of eryx, L. 



21. In note 17 (J. B. N. H. S. XXIII. p. 310) I stated that I had no 

 access to the original descriptions of Papilio echo, Ehrman or Athymy gynea, 

 Swin. (1) The reference for the latter is wrongly quoted by Swinhoe in 

 Lep. Ind. and I spent some time at the B. M. searching for the description 

 in vain : I now find that Fruhstorfer in the Macrolepidoptera places it as 

 the Perak race of the Bornean ambra, Stg. (2) Papilio echo is stated to be 

 very similar to bootes, Wd, but there are no spots on the tail and all the 

 crimson markings above and below are much reduced ; the upper median 

 cell of the hindwing below bears a faint red streak in the place of the 

 white spot; the tails are longer than in janaka, M., but not so long as in 

 bootes, Wd. The type specimen is in Mr. Ehrman's collection at Pitts- 

 burg and was obtained by the late Bernhard Gerard in the Khasi Hills. 

 Jordan in the Macrolepidoptera places echo as = nigricans, Roth, the 

 W. China race of bootes. (3) In my list of Indian Butterflies .1. B. N. H. S. 

 XXI, I omitted 2 Papilios given by Jordan in the Macrolepidoptera as 

 occurring in Indian limits: they are evemon albociliatis, Fruh, from 

 Assam and the Shan States, a species between doson, Fd., and eurypylus, L. 

 (4) The second is arycles, Bdv., from the Shan States, like agammemnon, L. 

 but tailless. 



22. Col. Swinhoe has described several new forms in the Annals and 

 Magazine of Natural History. 



(1) Elymnias inerula, Swin, from Kandy. As hecate, But, N. Borneo, 

 but on the hindwing below there is a prominent whitish blue spot below 

 the middle of the costa (xvi, 171). This is sure to turn out a variety of 

 fraterna, M . 



(2) Hypolimnas curiosa, Swin, from Starn, C. P. This is obviously a 

 sport of bolina, L. (xvi, 171). 



(3) Jamides alocina, Swin., from Haipaw, Yet Sank, Shan States. It is 

 a milky white insect, tinged with lavender blue. A long description is 

 given, but nothing is mentioned as to how it difl'ers from the other species 

 in this difficult genus, (xxi, 171). 



(4). Bapala nissa nissoides, Swin,, from the same locality as the last, 

 whence a long series was obtained. The discal patch on the forewing above 

 is said to be large, bright and square in shape, while the anal ocellus on 

 the hindwing below is minute, (xvi, 171).
