50 LEPIDOFTERA INDICA. 



the band as occur in the Wet, Dry and E;dra-Dr n iovms are therefoi'e endemic, 

 occurring only in those produced in the same area, and are consequently distinct 

 local species. 



Some specimens are found with a very slightly defined subapical patch on tlie 

 underside of the forewing, this being an indication of a brood, or an emergence 

 intermediate between the end of the Wet sfason and the commencement of the 

 Dry. Other specimens also occur, indicating a brood, or an emergence between 

 the period of the Ordinary Dry and the Extreme-Dry season. 



In the N.W. Himalayas and drier areas of Western India — especially in the 

 Punjab Plains and its desert tracks, we note the absence or paucity of specimens of 

 the Wet form, in comparison to the large number of the Dry form, occurring in the 

 following locally restricted species, viz., Purreea, excavata, fimbriata, irregularis, 

 apicalis, JEsiojjeoides, Sivinhoei, Asphodelus and Narcissus. 



Of these various allied local species that have been described — the type 

 specimens of most of which are in our own Collection, or, we have personally 

 compared the originals — -those species of the Northern, or drier areas, also produce 

 the Wet and Dry form only, whereas, in the more Southern and South Eastern 

 areas, where the seasons are more prominentljr defined, a characteristically-marked 

 Extreme Dry foi-m is also produced.
