the basal and apical areas of primaries and the whole surface of the 

 secondaries are bright ochreous, only a little paler than in that 

 species. Expanse of wings 56 millim. 



$, Campbellpore, 29th and 30th May, 1885. 



It is evident that this form is regarded by collectors in India as 

 the spring brood of B. mesentina ; but, so far as I have been able 

 to ascertain, this is not an ascertained fact, whilst the existence of a 

 species representing it in Ceylon is strong evidence to the contrary. 



Though apparently commoner ia the North-west Provinces, this 

 form does occur in the East ; the male, though very like B. mesentina 

 on the upper surface, has the apical area of the primaries and whole 

 surface of secondaries on the underside of a deep cream-colour more 

 or less tinged with chrome-yellow.

This is the common form of India, of which it is possible that 

 B. mesentina may be a variety ; the latter, however, differs on the 

 under surface in the great breadth of the brown veins on the apical 

 area of primaries and the whole of secondaries. 



"Common in May, June, and July, and again in October and 

 November ; a few to be seen in December : the spring brood is much 

 the darkest. The caterpillar feeds on a caper with dark red 

 blossom {Gapparis horrida ?)." — J. W. T. 



It is a significant fact that the only male sent to us in this 

 collection should not belong to the dark form supposed to be the 

 spring brood.

The name of Mancipium canidium has been given to Major 

 Yerbury for this species. Now the name Mancipium was first 

 employed by Hiibner in his ' Teutamen,' the publication of which
