series of pale blue Arhopalas at Maymyo, all of which I at first took to be 

 aberrans, DeN. ; I found, however, on closer examination that I could easily- 

 separate them into two groups. Later I had the opportunity to compare 

 them in Calcutta with De Niceville's types of aberrans ; one group proved 

 to be aberrans, but the other group represents a new species which I 

 propose to call ellisi. 



The new species is very closely allied to aberrans ; it is slightly larger ; 

 in the male the outer black border, which in aberrans consists of a very 

 narrow line, is a good deal broader, increases in width towards the apex 

 and has the inner edge rather irregular. There is no difference in the 

 markings below, but the ground colour except at the bases is very much 

 paler, in fact practically white. 



Several specimens of the dry season were caught by Mr. Ellis at 

 Pakokku, at 4,000 feet in January 1914, flying in company with aberrans ; 

 it only differs from the dry season form in having a more washed out 

 appearance. 



17. Further changes in the list of Indian butterflies. (J. B. N. H. S. 

 XXI 982 and XXII 761). Since No. 9 of these notes was written, Fruh- 

 torfer has progressed with the Nyynphalidce in Seitz's Macro-lepidoptera 

 Indo-australica and Swinhoe has completed Lepidoptera Indica. 



The following notes are from the Macro-lepidoptera : — 



(1) Stictopthalma camadeva, Wd. Fruhstorfer says that camadevoides, 

 DeN., is common in the Khasi Hills, He is wrong as nicevillei, Rober, is 

 the Assam race, while camadevoides is, as far as I know, confined to Upper 

 Burma and is a very distinct form, which is more than can be said -for 

 nicevillei. 



(2) Apatura ambica, Koll., is confined to the Western Himalayas ; namouna, 

 Db., given as the race from Sikkim and Assam ; garlanda, Fruh. as the race 

 from Upper Burma and the Shan States. 



(3) Apatura osteria, Wd., is placed in the genus Eulaceura ; the typical 

 form is confined to Java and the Indian race given as humana, Fruh. 



(4) Apatura parisatis, Wd. The South Indian race is given as atacinus, 

 Fruh., camiba, M., being confined to Ceylon. 



(5) Sephisa chandra, M. Fruhstorfer gives the following forms of females : 

 The rarest form resembles the male ; atii/a has broad white transcellular 

 and pale blue median spots on the forewing and clear white spots on the 

 hindwing ; djalia, the commonest form, has the transcellular spots small, 

 yellowish, the median spots dark blue and the hindwing streaked with blue 

 on the disc ; veria resembles djalia, but the streaks on the hindwing are 

 reduced to dots. Fruhstorfer has adopted a completely different system 

 to that which I followed in naming the forms albina and chandrana in 

 my list ; my names have priority. 



(6) Parhestina is replaced by Diagora. Nicevillei, M., is said to be near the 

 Chinese subviridis, Leech. 



(7) Stibochiona nicea, Gray ; dry season form viridicans, Fruh, 



(8) Abrota ganga, tn.,jumna, M., probably represents the dry season form; 

 confinis, Fd., is a separate species from China. 



(9) Adolias dirtea, Fab. The typical form is confined to the Malay Pe- 

 ninsula; the Burmese race is jadeitina, Fruh., which is perhaps only the dry 

 season form of eleanor, Fruh., described from Siam. An albinotic female of 

 the race khasiana, Swin., is given as dolia, Fruh., and an aberration with the 

 spots on the hindwing fulvous instead of white, dirteoides, Fruh. 



(10) Euthalia cibaritis, Hew., is placed in Tancecia ; a form with narrow 

 markings is vinaya, Fruh. 



(11) Euthalia lepidea. But., is confined to N. E. India, the wet season 

 form of which is adustata, Fruh. The smaller, paler race from South
