not a few of the smaller Butterflies and of the Moths prove to be new 

 to science. 



Rhopalocera. 



1. Ypthima inica. 



Tpthima inica, Hewitson, Trans. Ent. Soc. ser. 3, vol. ii. p. 284, 

 n. 5, pi. 17. fig. .5 (1865). 



Mhow, December 1881 and February 1882. 



" Common here ever since November. Is, I presume, Ypthima 

 inica. I have one identically the same from Paras Pani, Mirzapore 

 district, N.W. Provinces, taken in February ; but the Deesa ex- 

 amples are marked differently on the secondaries below." — C. S. 



2. Ypthima rara, sp. n. (Plate XXIV. fig. 1.) 



Intermediate in character between Y. norma and nareda ; general 

 coloration of the former species, but like the latter in size ; smoky 

 greyish brown above, with a large bipupillated ocellus somewhat as 

 in Y. nareda, but duller, less oblique, and further from the apex ; no 

 submarginal or marginal black stripes ; secondaries with a small 

 subanal ocellus, smaller and duller than in Y. nareda ; under surface 

 grey, densely striated with creamy whitish ; no submarginal brown 

 streaks or clouds ; ocelli arranged nearly as in Y. nareda, but that of 

 the primaries and the third or subanal one of secondaries differing 

 as above. Expanse of wings 37 mm. 



Mhow, October 1881. 



" Not common here ; one taken in September and five in October. 

 Is like my Himalayan examples of Y. nareda, KoUar ; but the third 

 eye on the secondaries is much smaller, and the submarginal grey 

 streak above and below in all four wings is absent." — 0. S. 



3. Neptis eurymene, sp. n. (Plate XXIV. fig. 5.) 



Nearly allied to i\^. eurynome of Westwood, but smaller, with the 

 costal and outer margins of primaries above straighter. Colour above 

 blacker with purer white markings ; spots on the disk smaller ; 

 secondaries with an ill-defined whitish streak in the central black 

 belt and a slender white submarginal line : wings below of a purer 

 ochre-yellow colour; the white markings, excepting the discoidal 

 streak of primaries, narrower. Expanse of wings 49 mm. 



Mhow, February 1882, 



" Like my Aboo examples of Neptis astola of Moore ; common 

 here in February ; have one also from Paras Pani, Mirzapore district, 

 N.W. Provinces, taken in the same month." — C. S. 



We also possess a Neptis from Mount Aboo ; it however agrees on 

 the upper surface with N. aceris of Europe, and on the under surface 

 is yellow instead of red-brown. It is, in fact, the following 

 species. 



4. Neptis swinhoei, sp. n. (Plate XXIV. fig. 9.) 



Only differs above from N. aceris in the narrower black border
