on the disc, the scarlet subniarginal band is rather narrow and even. 

 $ . Like the male, and has little resemblance to the female of hierte ; 

 it is white, all the veins accented with black, the extreme apex and 

 the snbapical band of the forewing dark gray, leaving a whitish 

 band tinged with ochreous across the apex. Below, the female is like 

 the male, the apex of the forewing is more distinctly marked with lemon- 

 yellow, and the veins and subapical band are darker, the cell marked 

 with perceptible gray lines. The brilliant lemon and scarlet hues of 

 the hindwing are transmitted through the wing appearing above as 

 creamy and pink. The two lower disco-cellulars of the forewing are less 

 oblique and more angled outwardly than in hierte, resembling those 

 of eucharis. Expanse 98 millimetres. 



Common in the Vizagapatam District, Madras Presidency (at Bobbili, 

 Parvatipuram, the Potingi Ghat, etc.), and in the Jaipur State, probably 

 extending to the Godavari ; scarce in the Ganjam District (Mahendragiri) ; 

 also seen in Southern Orissa, where it is probably rare. From eucharis, 

 in company with which I have often taken it, it is easily distinguished 

 by the absence of the dark subniarginal band on the hindwing above 

 and below. 



Family PAPILIONID^. 



20. Papilio doubledaii, var. sambilanga. 



Intermediate between doubledaii, Wallace (India and Malacca), and 

 rhodifer, Butler (Andamans). The tail is black as in doubledaii. Of the 

 discal semicircle of whitish spots on the hindwing, that on the abdominal 

 margin is very short ; those between the middle median and the radial are 

 generally absent above and quite rudimentary below. The anal orange 

 spot is large, the marginal one at the end of the middle median is joined 

 with the submarginal one between the two upper medians, both above and 

 below (very much as in rhodifer) . The female is similar, but the wings 

 are wider and the tails much shorter and broader. 



Great Nicobar, rather common. 



Family HESPERIADJE. 



21. Erionota (?) lalita, n. sp. 



<f. Above light but very bright ferruginous, slightly paler out- 

 wardly, marked with translucent ochreous spots set in black rings. 

 On the forewing, one large triangular spot near the end of the cell, 

 another larger and quadrate below it between the lower median 

 branches, a third, much smaller and rounded, slightly beyond them 

 between the upper medians. Below these, two minute ones with 

 the translucent pupil obsolescent, set obliquely in the internomediau
