44. Neptis jumbah, Moore. 



Common. It has a m^ucli bolder and stroncrer flight than the other 

 species of Neptis occurring in Calcutta, and differs from every species of 

 the genus known to me in having a small round brown spot near the 

 base of the hindwing on the underside. 



45. Neptis kamarupa, Moore. 



The commonest Neptis occurring in Calcutta, and on the wing 

 throughout the year. 



46. Neptis varmona, Moore. 



There are three specimens of this species in the Indian Museum, 

 Calcutta, but I have never taken it here. It is recorded from Barrackpore. 



47. Neptis (Rahinda) plagiosa, Moore. 

 Somewhat rare, taken in the cold weather only. 



48. Athyma perius, Linnaeus. 



Two specimens only taken in the cold weather. 



49. EUTHALIA GARUDA, MoorC. 



Very common. Larva feeds on mangoe. 



50. EuTHALiA LUBENTINA, Cramer. 

 Rare. I have taken females only. 



51. Symph^dra nais, Forster. 



A single specimen taken by Mr. R. E. S. Thomas in Calcutta, which 

 is probably its extreme eastward range. Common in the Rajmahal Hills. 



52. Charaxes fabius, Fabricius. 



Somewhat rare. I have taken nearly all my specimens in the cold 

 weather, sucking up the juice from the date-palms when cut for toddy. 

 It occurs also in the rains. 



53. Charaxes prox. hindia, Butler. 



I took a single female specimen in a garden at Alipur in the cold 

 weather which agrees fairly with G. hindia. It has a narrow rufous 

 outer margin to the upperside of the forewing, and the outer black 

 macular fascia on the hindwing less conspicuous than in that species. 



Family LEMONIID^. 

 Subfamily Nemeobiinj]. 



54. Abisara suffusa, Moore. ^^ 



Common at all times except in the three coldest months. Has a 

 very quick flight, but settles often on the upperside of a leaf in the shade 

 with half-expanded wings. 



Family LYC^NID^. 



55. Spalgis epius, Westwood. 



Taken on two occasions only in August in the Botanical Gardens 

 flying about a pomegranate bush.
