44 L. de Niceville — TAst of the Bufferjiies of Calcutta. [No. 1, 



Mr. Rotliney captured a single female specimen at Barrackpore. 

 I have never met witli it in Calcutta, but have received a single female 

 from Bholahat in the Malda District. 



28. At ELLA PHALANTA, Drurji 



A very common insect at all seasons. 



29. Pyrameis cardui, Linn^us. 



A single female in the Botanical Gardens in November, one male at 

 Ballygunj in March taken by Mr. T. Gr. H. Moncreiffe. 



30. JUNONIA LEMONIAS, Linn83us. 



31. JuNONiA ATLITES, Linn?eus. 



Placed under Precis laomedia in the Barrackpore list. 



32. JuNONiA (ENONE, Linnceus. 

 Common in the Botanical Gardens. 



33. JuNONiA OEITHYA, Liunceus. 

 Somewhat rare in Calcutta. 



34. JuNONiA ASTERIE, Linnseus. 



35. JuNONiA ALMANA, Linngeus. 



/. almana is almost undoubtedly the dry season and /. asterie the 

 wet season form of one and the same species. 



36. Precis iphita, Cramer. 



A single male taken in March in a garden at Ballygunj. 



37. Ergolis indica, Moore. 



Common. Larvae feed on Tagia involucrata, a twining plant with 

 hairy stinging leaves. 



Mr, Moore has lately separated this species from the Javan J57. 

 ariadne ; under which name it appeared in the Barrackpore list. 



38. Ergolis merione, Cramer. 



Common. Larva feeds on the castor-oil plant, Bicinus communis. 



39. Htpolimnas bolina, Linnceus. 



Common except in the cold weather. Mr. Moore also gives H. 

 jacintTi'a, Drury, as a separate species. I believe it, however, to be one 

 of the numerous varieties or seasonal forms of S. holina. 



40. Htpolimnas misippus, Linnaeus. 



Much rarer than H, holina. Both forms of the female occur here. 

 The larva feeds on Fortulaca meridiana in Calcutta. 



41. Limenitis procris, Cramer. 



Common, fond of settling high up in the trees with wings widely 

 spread open. Larva feeds on Aiitliocephalus cadamha. 



42. Neptis nandina, Moore. 



I have taken this insect in the cold weather only ; it is rare. 



43. Neptis ophiana, Moore. 



I have taken a single female specimen only in February.
