 uniformly olivescent-browu ; both wings with the marginal rows of spots as above. 

 Forewing also with a small violet-white costal spot above end of the cell, and four

 white. 



Expanse, c? 3^ to 3f , ? 4 inches. 



Habitat. — Lower Bengal, Bombay, South India. 



For the opportunity of correctly identifying this species we are indebted to 

 Dr. Rogenhofer, the Custodian of the Imperial Zoological Museum at Vienna, who 

 kindly favoured us with a coloured drawing of Felder's type specimen of P. Kollari, 

 the locality of which was also previously unknown. In appearance it much 

 resembles, and is a mimick of, the common Crastia Core, but may be distinguished 

 by its shorter and broader wings, and by the male imssessing a, pale ochreous upper- 

 discoidal patch on the upperside of the hindwing. 



DiSTEiBDTioN. — The locality of the type specimen, described by Dr. Felder, was 

 not recorded. The first authentically-known habitat of the species was that given by 

 Mr. Gr. A. J. Rothney (Entom. Monthly Mag. 1882, 34), who captured a single 

 specimen at Barrackpur, near Calcutta, but, mistaking it, however, for a specimen of 

 the common G. Core. In the neighbourhood of Calcutta, it has since been found by Mr. 

 L. De Niceville "throughout the year," who also says (Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 1885, 

 41) that it is " by no means a rare species, and occurs in company with G. Core." 

 According to Mr. W. C. Taylor's List of Orissa Butterflies, 1888, p. 1, it is "rather 

 common at Khorda." Colonel Swinhoe (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1888, 348) " took it in 

 Bombay in August, and at Poona in September, but it is not often met with, though 

 it is not believed to be rare. It so exactly resembles C, Gore in coloration that it is 

 passed over as that species." Mr. H. S. Fergusson " took it at Calicut in September." 

 It also occurs in N. Kanara. Mr. Gr. F. Hampson (Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1888, 348) 

 records taking " two males on the northern slopes of the JSTilgiris at 3500 feet eleva- 

 tion, and three pairs at 5000 feet, on the western slopes." " Mr. Rhodes Morgan 

 obtained it in the Wynaad. Mr. H. S. Fergusson took it at Trevandrum in July, 

 and Mr. "W. T. Blanford obtained it at BhadrachuUum." 



A male specimen which Mr. De Niceville (Butt. India, p. Q'?) refers to this 

 species, taken by Mr. Otto Miiller in the Sikkim Terai, is described as " having the
