of proboscis much shorter : both are a dirty, bone- white in colour. That 

 of Tapena is very white ; of Gtipitha hght olive green with two small points on 

 vertex of head and no free end to proboscis ; that of Hesperia greenish 

 yellow with the surface covered with comparatively long, erect, white hairs. 

 The food of Gangara, Matapa is palm and bamboos respectively ; that of 

 Cupitha is the combretaceous Terminalia paniculata or Comhretum ovalifolium, 

 of Hesperia the little sterculiaceous weed Waltheria indica ; of Tapena the 

 leguminous Dalhergia ruhiginosa. 



g- Larva greyish-green, the segment-margins yellomsh ; 

 inconspicuously covered with hairs, much longer 

 and visible round dorsoventral margins, head 

 semi-elliptical, soiled yellow-green in colour 

 with a brown cheek stripe and central (dorsal) 

 brown band, with a sparse covering of simple 

 hairs. . . . . . . . . . . . . Genus Baor 



{Telicota ?). 

 A single species . . . . . . . . . . bada. 



This butterfly is difficult to difficulty. It is certain that it has no afifinity in 

 the earlier stages with the genus it is always placed in, that is Baoris. For this 

 reason it is considered here to be more comfortable in the genus Telicota but, 

 even there, it does not seem to quite fit. The pupa is stout, square in front, 

 without a raised boss or beak ; spiracular expansions fairly well-developed ; 

 colour very light, translucent-looking yellow-green on thorax and head, soil- 

 ed yellowish-white on abdomen. 



D. — Larvse naked-looking, of some shade of white or green, 

 the outer tegument or skin allowing the trachese 

 to show through as white threads ; never coloured 

 except in a single case {Halpe honorei which has 

 red, longitudinal bands) ; the bod}^ usually covered, 

 but generally very sparsely, with minute, simple, 

 erect hairs hardly visible to the naked ej^e ; heads 

 of various shapes, never furred or conspicuously 

 haired. 



a. Larvse elongated, the anal end flattened, depressed, 

 rounded, kept pressed against resting-surface ; 

 the neck very much narrowed ; the head com- 

 paratively small, dark-brown, the surface naked 

 to the eye, rough ; the whole larva naked and 

 thin-skinned with the tracheae showing through. 

 a\ Head deep-black . . . , . . . . . . Genus Udaspes. 



A single species . . . . . . . . folus. 



b^ Head deep chocolate-brown. 



a- Larva with segment 2 whitish . . . . . . Genus Sancus. 



Only a single species ... . - . . . . pulligo. 



b'. Larva with segment 2 not white . . . . . . Genus Noto- 



crypta. 

 a' Head immaculate . , . . . . . . . . feisthamelii. 



b^ Head with a lateral, longitudinal, whitish band . . restricta. 



The larvse of this group are unlike anything else but are difficult to distinguish 

 from each other. The pupse are all quite naked-grass-green with long snouts 

 and thin cremastral segments and are quite indistinguishable one from the other. 

 All the larvse feed upon Zinziberacece ; the food of Udaspes being generally 

 Curcuma, that of Sancus, as far as known, always Phrynium, that of Notocrypta 

 invariably Zinziber.
