23. dilecta Moore, P. Z. 8. 1879, p. 139. 
This is a well marked species as occurring in continental India, 
but I find in the Tring Museum unquestionable dilecta from 
Borneo, Luzon, and Java. 
The group to which it belongs is very puzzling, chiefly perhaps 
because I am loth to recognise here unnamed species of which I 
know little more than the actual specimen, and the appendages 
of which differ by comparatively sight but apparently constant 
differences. 
There are some differences in Indian dilecta, due possibly to 
slightly varied softening and pressing in mounting the specimens. 
23 a, from Borneo, is exactly the same as some Indian specimens, 
others from India are like 23. 
236. A specimen from Perak has appendages closer to cosswa 
than to anything else, the under side agrees closely with dilecta, 
but the upper side has a darker blue and a dark border along the 
hind margin. 
23. A specimen labelled cossa (cossea 2) in the British Museum 
belongs to this group, but the appendages differ from any named 
species I have. 
My material is too meagre to justify me in naming these two 
forms.
