6. Melanitis leda. 



Pap. leda, Linn. Syst. Nat. i. 2, p. 773 (1767). 

 June, July ; September and October. 



7. Melanitis ismene. 



Pap. ismene, Cramer, Pap. Exot. i. pi. 26. f. A, B (1775). 

 Common during the cold weather from the latter end of October 

 to the beginning of March. I took, however, one example in June 



1882. 



8. CaLYSISME PERSEUS. 



Pap. perseus, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 488 (1775). 

 October and April. Only one example taken in the latter month ; 

 it was fairly common in October 1881. 



9. Calysisme drusia. 



Pap. drusia, Cramer, Pap. Exot. i. pi. 84. f. C, D (1779). 



I found one example of this variety of 0. mineiis, Linn., in a col- 

 lection of Butterflies taken at Mhow in 1881 by Major Yerbury, 

 R.A. It is smaller and paler than the types in the British Museum, 

 but is otherwise identical. 



Cramer's type came from China, but I have typical examples in 

 my collection from the Kangra valley and from Darjiling. 



10. Ypthima inica. 



Tpthima inica, Hewitsou, Trans. Ent. See. ser. 3, vol. ii. p. 285 

 (1865). 



Mhow, December ; Depalpore, November. 



This is said to be an African insect, but the examples taken as 

 above are identical with Hewitson's type. 



11. Ypthima alkibie, n. sp. 



Upperside dark brown, with the ocelli as in T. inica, but the 

 general coloration is darker and brighter. Underside pale whitish 

 brown, thickly covered with short delicate pale reddish-brown strigae, 

 which are uniformly disposed, but paler on the costa and margins of 

 the fore wings in most specimens, and both wings with a marginal 

 brown line and submarginal brown, slightly sinuated fascia ; the ocelli 

 as in T. inica, but one or other of the three minute ocelli on the 

 hind wings is often more or less obsolete. Hind wings with three 

 pale reddish-brown speckled zigzag bands, and can easily be distin- 

 guished from r. inica because the inner discal band curves outwardly, 

 whereas in the type of Y inica this band curves inwards. 



Expanse of wings Iyjj-Ix^ inch. 



Mhow, November to March, very plentiful ; Depalpore, January 

 and February.
