18. Lampides kandarpa. 



Lyccenu kandarpa, Horsfield, Cat. Lep. E. I. C. p. 82, n. 17 



(1829). 



Kurrachee, July 1882. 



19. Catochrysops cnejus. 



Hesperia cnejus, Fabr. Ent. Syst. Suppl. p. 430 (1798). 

 Large type, plentiful in August and September. 



20. Catochrysops contkacta. 



Lampides contractu, Butler, P. Z. S. 1880, p. 406, pi. xxxiv. 

 f. 3. 



Plentiful in August and September. 



I believe this form to be only a seasonal variety of C. cnejus ; 

 but Mr. A. Gr. Butler, whose authority is much to be respected, 

 thinks otherwise (P. Z. S. 1880, p. 407). I tried to breed them, 

 but failed. 



21. Catochrysops ella. 



Catochrysops ella, Butler, P. Z. S. 1881, p. 606. 

 A few specimens taken in December and January. 



22. Tarucus nara. 



Lyccena nara, Kollar, Hug. Kaschm. iv. 2, p. 421 (1848). 



Appears in great plenty at latter end of April and lasts until about 

 the middle of August. 



This species appears to be replaced in the north of Sind by the 

 variety Tarucus theophrastus, Fabr., which has all the markings 

 below in distinct and separate spots ; all the examples received by 

 me from Sukkur and Bhikarpoor being of this type. 



23. Tarucus pltnius. 



Hesperia plinius, Fabr. Ent. Syst. iii. 1, p. 284, n. 92 (1793).

Polyommatus karsandra, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 505, pi. xxxi. 

 f. 7. 



The commonest Lyccena in Kurrachee. It occurs in great plenty 

 in April and May, a few in August, and then again in countless 

 numbers throughout November and December. 



25. Zizera mora, u. sp. (Plate XLVII. fig. 2.) 



Similar in shape and colour above and below to Z. karsandra, 

 but larger ; the markings below are very different and quite 

 distinct. Fore wings with a black spot within the cell and a black 

 mark at the end of the cell, and beyond this a row of six black thick 

 longitudinal streaks between the veins, spear-shaped with the points 

 outside running from near the costa to near the hinder margin, and
