40. AzANUs URANUS, sp. n. (Plate XXXV. fig. 1.) 

 c?. Allied to A. zena, but differing from all specimens in the 

 Museum series, or that of Mr. Moore's collection, in the much 

 brighter and more uniform lilac colour of the upper surface \ in the 

 brighter blue at the base, the browner tint of the under surface, on 

 which the white-edged markings are consequently less well defined, 

 and in the obsolete character of the black spots, which are either 

 reduced to minute points or wholly absent. Expanse of wings 

 21-22 millim.

41. AzANUS UBALDUS. 



Lyccena ubaldus, Cramer, Pap. Exot.iv. pi. 390. figs. L, M (1782). 



$, near Attock Bridge, Khairabad side, 15tli November, 1885. 



This species was unidentified, and specimens of A. uranus indi- 

 cated as A. ubaldus, whilst others of the same species were simply 

 recorded as ^' Lyccena sp." 



42. Tarucus nara. 



Lyccena nara, KoUar in Hiig. Kaschtn. iv. 2, p. 421 (1848). 



iS , Campbellpore, June; id.? (worn), 17th November, 1885. 



"Tarucus theopJirastus, very common May and June; it is pro- 

 bable that T. nara was also among some of the captures placed under 

 this number." — /. W. T. 



T. theophrastus is an African species ; the Butterflies so named 

 by Col. Swinhoe probably represent two or more new species, of which 

 the following is one : — 



43. Tarucus extricatus, sp. n. (Plate XXXV. fig. 2.) 

 Paler than T. nara above, varying in size even more than T. hal- 

 kanica ; readily distinguished on the under surface by the much 

 greater regularity of the markings, those of the primaries being 

 arranged nearly aa in T. theophrastus (i. e. the central stripe is often 

 unbroken, the subcostal spot beyond sometimes confluent with it so 

 as to form a ^-shaped marking ; the dashes beyond the central 

 stripe placed transversely and always confluent instead of forming 

 an interrupted <-shappd character) ; the markings of the secondaries 

 vary in colour from rust-red to black, but correspond in character 

 vrith those of T. nara. Expanse of wings, S 15-25 millim., 

 $ 28-30 millim. 



d, Campbellpore, 31st May, 1885. 



"We have two females of this species from Kurrachee, collected by 

 Col. Swinhoe, and a male collected by Sir John Hearsay at Landoor ; 

 thirteen other specimens also representing the T. theophrastus of 

 Indian lists, but apparently belonging to another unnamed form, 

 are in our collection. 



^ In A. zena it is chiefly confined to the centre of the wings, and has ahnost 

 the appearance of a brand.
