358 G. F. Hampson — Butterflies of the Nilgiri District. [No. 4, 



113. Nacaduba macrophthalma, Felder. 



2000 — 6000 ft. The male of the wet-season brood is paler in colour 

 than that of the dry-season brood, and has the areas between the discal 

 bands on both wings of a dusky black colour. The dusky patches 

 vary in extent and disposition. 



114. Nacaduba viola, Moore. 

 3000—4000 ft. April and May. 



115. Nacaduba ardates, Moore. 



1000 — 4000 ft. The tailed and tailless forms occur in both sexes 

 throughout the year, and I believe them to be distinct species. 



116. Nacaduba dana, de Niceville. 

 2000—4000 ft. Common. 



117. Nacaduba hampsoni, de Niceville. 



2000 — 4000 ft. Male fairly common, female unknown. The wet- 

 season form has dusky markings on the underside similar to those of 

 N, macrophthalma, but more variable in extent. 



118. Catochrysops strabo, Fabricius. 



119. Catochrysops cnejus, Fabricius. 

 Form patala, KoUar. 



„ hapalina, Butler. 



120. POLYOMMATUS B(ETICUS, Linn89US. 



121. Lampides ^lianus, Fabricias. 

 Form alejcis, StoU. 



1000 — 4000 ft. The former the wet-season,the latter the dry-season 

 form. 



122. Lampides elpis, Godart. 

 1000—4000 ft. 



123. Talicada nyseus, Guerin. 

 2000—8000 ft. Very common. 



124. Catap(ecilma elegans, Druce. 

 2000—4000 ft. Fairly common. 



125. Horaga ONYX, Hewitson. 



126. Horaga viola, Moore. 



2000 — 4000 ft. I have taken some thirty specimens of Soraga, and 

 all the dark ones (R. viola) are males, and all the blue ones (H. onyx) 

 females, and I believe the two forms are male and female of one species, 

 but as in Sikkim and the Himalayas both H. onyx and H. viola have the 

 sexes alike, — H". onyos male with secondary sexual characters on the 

 foiewing— the Nilgiri form would be a distinct species, but proof is 

 wanting. 



127. SiTHON indra, Moore. 

 2000—5000 ft. Very rare.
