margin. The marginal scries of black spots arc smaller, more regular 

 in size, and the third from the anal angle not cons]Dicuously crowned 

 with orange as in G. pwndava. 



I have taken numerous specimens of both sexes in the cold weather 

 in Calcutta, and Mr. Nevill took it at Moisraka. It occurs also in 

 Sikkim. 



76. POLYOMMATUS B^TICUS, LinnSBUS. 



Common. 



77. Lampides iELiANUS, Fabricius. 

 Common. 



78. Lampides elpis, Godart. 

 Rare. 



79. Ieaota mj:cenas, Fabricius. 



Rare. Occurs amongst trees, especially the banian-tree, on which 

 the larva feeds. 



80. Deudorix dieneces, Hewitson. 



Taken only in the winter on the flowers of Poinsettia pulcJierrima. 



81. Baspa melampus, Cramer. 



I have taken a male and two females only. 



82. Rathinda amor, Fabricius. 



Recorded from Calcutta by Mr. Moore in P. Z. S. 1865, p. 776, 

 under the name of Mijrina triopas, Cramer. 



83. YiRACHOLA ISOCRATES, Fabricius. 



Common in the winter on the Poinsettia. Larva bred in March 

 from the fruit of the pomegranate. 



84. Rapala schistacea, Moore. 



Very common throughout the year. I have bred the larva from a 

 plant growing in the Botanical Gardens, Calcutta. The larva and 

 pupa ao-ree exactly with the figures of an undetermined species given 

 in Horsfield and Moore's Cat. Lep. Ins. Mus. E. I. Co. pi. xii, figs. 

 4 4a. and which is probably Papala varmia, Horsfield, a Javan 



species. 



85. Rapala orseis, Hewitson. 



A single male specimen taken in April on the flowers of Diospyros 

 wontana. P. lazulina from Ceylon is very closely allied to this species, 

 but unlike my specimen it is not glossed with purple on the underside, 

 which Hewitson gives as a distinguishing character of his B. orseis. 



86. Spindasis khurdana, Moore. 



A single male has been so identified by Mr. Moore. 



87. Spindasis trifurcata, Moore. 



There is a single male specimen in the collection of the Indian
