! COLADENIA INDRANI. 

 Plesioneitra indrani, Moore^ P. Z. S. 1865, p. 789. 

 Coladenia indrani, Watson, Hesp. Ind. p. 118. 



Two specimens from North Canara (Aitken, 11.7.90 and 14.8.90) differ from the 

 ordinary form in the umber-bro^ui colour of the upperside, and in the absence of the 

 subterminal series of pale markings, except the spot in cell 1 « on the fore wing below. 

 A specimen from the Nilgiris (Hampson, 8.9.84), which is probably of the same 

 species as the specimens recorded by Hampson from the Nilgiris as C. tissa, is inter- 

 mediate in appearance between the Canara specimens and the ordinary form. The 

 male genitalia afford no means of distinction between the three forms.

Coladenia tissa. 

 Coladenia tissa, Moore, Lep. Cey. i. p. 180, pi. Ixvii. fig. 6 (1881). 



This species, though otherwise closely resembling the preceding, and probably just 

 as variable in colour, may be known in both sexes by the distinct displacement inwards 

 of the middle one of the three pale spots which form the subapical series. The 

 differences in the male genitalia of the two species are merely those of degree.

6 . Upperside : fore wing fuscous or mouse-grey, with a suffiised dark terminal band 

 and an oblique white macular median band from vein 2 to the costa, composed of the 

 following hyaline spots : — one large and oblong near the middle of cell 2, one small 

 and subquadrate near the base of cell 3, not filling up the base of that cell, one large 

 and oblong across the cell, and one also oblong between the subcostal and the costa, 

 two hyaline points placed obliquely, the lower innermost, beyond the middle of cell 1 a, 

 and a small hyaline spot in each of cells 6 and 8, that usually found in cell 7 obsolete 

 or wanting ; near the basal third of cell 1 a a somewhat indistinct geminate dark spot or
