is extremely doubtful, and the genus (in any case) was not described 

 in that list of names ; if adopted, it should be used in the Stephen- 

 sian sense (i. e. either for daplidice or cardamines), and Westwood's 

 action would fix the type as cardamines. Secondly, the identification 

 of Papilio canidia is doubtful, and would probably apply to two 

 or three species with equal accuracy, and therefore I prefer to give 

 this species the name applied to it by Cramer. 



79. Ganoris nipalensis. 



Pieris brassicce, var. nipalensis, Gray, Lep, Ins. Nepal, pi. 6. 

 figs. 1 & 3 (1846). 



cJ, Campbellpore, 22nd and 29th May and 12th June, 1885. 



" Common in May, June, July, October, November, December. 

 The cabbages in my garden are covered at the present time (Uth 

 January, 1886) with the caterpillars of some white butterfly \ and 

 there are some half-dozen chi'ysalides on the walls of the bungalow; 

 they all probably belong to this species." 



80. EucHLOE LuciLLA, sp. nov. (Plate XXXV. fig. 4.) 

 Allied to E. charlonia of Algeria, from which, however, the 



following characters readily distinguish it : — Wings above gamboge- 

 instead of lemon-yellow ; the discocellular black patch broader, 

 regular, and quadrate ; the apical area browner, and, instead of 

 forming a triangular patch, widely excavated and diffused on its 

 inner edge and truncated at its inferior extremity ; the yellow streak 

 across it much as in E. charlonia : under surface diifering, at a 

 glance, in the absence of the apical grey-green patch of primaries, 

 the yellow instead of grey-green secondaiies, the larger pale costal 

 spots, the better marked grey-edged white discocellular sj)ot, and 

 the absence of the pale spots oa the median interspaces. Expanse 

 of wings 35 millim. 



Campbellpore, 27th May, 1885. 



" Anthocaris charlonia : rare, only three specimens taken — the 

 first on the 21st May, the second ou the 23rd, and the third 

 on the 27th. 



" Nos. 1 and 2 were found on the same plant oi Stachys parvijlora, 

 No. 3 taken on the wing about a mile away." — J. W. Y. 



I can only suppose that the name A. charlonia was given by 

 Mr. de Niceville ; yet it would seem strange that a gentleman who 

 claims to be almost an arbiter in questions relating to geographical 

 distribution, should unhesitatingly give the name of an Algerian 

 insect to a species obtained in North-western India. 



Papilionin^. 



81. Papilio cloanthus. 



Papilio cloanthus, Westwood, Arc. Ent. i. pi. 11. fig. 2 (1841). 



Murree, 10th September, 1885 (very ragged). 



' " Black : dorsal line white or yellow, spiral line yellow ; yellowish-green 

 irregular A-shaped patches speckled with black running up into the black from 

 the spiral lines, but never reaching the dorsal lines ; length about two inches."
