130 W. Doherty — A List of Btitterflies taken in Kumaon. [No. 2, 



Budhi in Byans (9,000 feet), and down to 3,000 feet. It frequents drier 

 and more open ground than the other species. 



146. Ilerda TAMU(?), Koll. Upper Sarju, Pindari, and Kali valleys, 

 5 — 9,000 feet, scarce. 



147. Ilerda coeuscans, Moore. Same localities. This species is 

 shining greenish-blue well beyond the cell, and to the hind margin of the 

 forewing, and over the disc of the hindwing. The preceding species is 

 merely powdered with the same colour, which does not extend on the 

 forewing beyond the cell or to the hind-margin, and is nearly obsolete on 

 the hindwing. As in other Ilerda, these species are easily distinguished 

 by their prehensores, the clasp of coruscans, seen from the side, being 

 truncate and apparently unarmed, while in tamu{?) it is very broad and 

 rounded at the end, with a line of strong, bent hooks. The uncus of 

 tamu seen from the side is shorter than in coruscans, and its branches 

 are more bent. I name the preceding species with great doubt, being 

 unable to distinguish between tar}iu, androcles, moorei, and langii. It 

 is so difficult to describe, and so impossible to figure the colouring of 

 an Ilerda, that I think it will be very hard for the student to separate 

 the four species mentioned, except by examination of the prehensores, 

 which ought to be figured. 



148. Ilerda epicles, Godt. Eastern Kumaon, in the Kali valley, 

 2—4,000 feet, at Askot (5,000 feet) and the Dhoaj Mountain (6,000 

 feet). This genus is very close to Ghrysophanus, the prehensores being 

 generically the same, though each species has its characteristic form. 



149. Chrysophanus TiMiEUS, Cram, {timeus). Naini Tal, 6 — 7,000 

 feet, above Garbyan, and at Kalapani, N". E. Kumaon, 11 — 15,000 feet. 

 Comparing the prehensores of my specimens with those figured by 

 Dr. White, I should suppose the species distinct from the European 

 phlceas (phlmax ?). 



150. Chrysophanus pavana, Kollar. Kumaon generally, 4,500 — 

 13,000, local. 



151. SuRENDRA quercetorum, Moore. Bagheswar, Lower Ram- 

 ganga, Gori, and Kali valleys, 2—4,000 feet. The egg clearly shows 

 that the genus is near Thecla and remote from Amblypodia. 



152. Thecla (or Zephyrus) birupa, Moore. Outer Himalayas, 

 Pyura and Ramgarh, 4,000—7,000 feet. 



153. Thecla syla, Koll. Dhankuri, 9—11,000 feet, N. W. 

 Kumaon. 



154. Thecla icana, Moore. Dhankuri, 9 — 11,000 feet, N". W. 

 Kumaon, also in Chaudans in N. E. Kumaon. 



155. Thecla mandara, n. sp. Allied to icana, but whereas that 

 species is metallic over the disc of the hindwing and most of the
