166. Chilades laius, Cramer, {varunana, Moore). Haldwani at 

 the foot of tlie hills. 



167. Chilades putli, Koll. Everywhere up to 7,000 feet. 



168. Castalius ROSiMON, Fabr. Jhulaghat, 2,000 feet. 



169. Catochrysops strabo, Fabr. Lower Cori valley, also at Rani- 

 bagh, 1—3,000 feet. 



170. Catochrysops CNEius, Fabr. (cwejW). Kumaon'generally up 

 to 10,000 feet (Dhankuri). 



171. Catochrysops pandava, Horsf. Ranibagh, Sarju valley, 1 — • 

 4,000 feet. 



172. Nacaduba DANA, de Niceville. Kumaon and the plains, up to 

 5,000 feet, not so common as ardates. It is quite different from the 

 tailless ardates of Orissa, the hind wing being broad and truncate. 



173. Nacaduba ccelestis, de Niceville. One male, Jhulaghat, 2,000 

 feet. 



174. Nacaduba ardates, Moore. Kumaon generally up to 5,000 

 feet, common. The tailless form, which in Orissa and the Eastern 

 and Western Ghats is almost as common as the tailed, apparently does 

 not occur in Kumaon. 



An aberrant male, Ranibagh. The transverse discal band of the 

 underside is extremely broad on both wings, united with the discocellular 

 streak. This aberration occurs in many Lyccenidce. I have a remarkable 

 example of it in a specimen of Nacaduha prominens from Bassein, 

 Burma, and in one or two specimens of Zizera maha and Z. sangra^ 

 in which the discal spots are all very elongate below. Similar though, 

 much rarer variations occurs in the Argynnis and Cynthia groups of the 

 Ajpaturidce, of which I have an example in an Atella. One or two 

 species have been based on these curious monstrosities. 



175. Zizera pygm^a, Snellen. Ranibagh, 1,000 feet. 



176. Zizera sangra, Moore. Ranibagh, Jhulaghat, 1,000 — 2,000 

 feet. 



177. Zizera maha, Koll. Kumaon generally from the plains up 

 to 9,000 feet. 



178. Zizera karsandra, Moore, Ranibagh, Bagheswar, 1,000 — 

 4,000 feet. 



179. Lyc^na ariana. Moore. Naini Tal, 4,000—8,000 feet. 



180. Lyc^na astrarche, Bgstr. {nazira, Moore). Naini Tal, Dhan- 

 kuri, 6,000—10,000 feet. 



181. Cyaniris C(Elestina, Koll. Naini Tal, Jagheswar, 6 — 8,000 

 feet. 



182. Cyaniris huegelii, Moore. All Kumaon as low as Bagheswar 

 3,500 feet, as high as Garbyan, 12,000 feet.
