88. Spindasis vulcanus, Fabricius. 



This species appears in Mr. Rothney's list under its synonymic name 

 Aphnoius etolus. It is the commonest species of the genus occurring in 

 Calcutta. 



89. Spindasis tigrina, Moore. 



Mr. Moore has identified some Calcutta specimens of Spindasis as 

 this species. He has also queried other specimens of this and the 

 preceding species ; which, taken with the fact that S. vulcanus is very 

 variable and the differences given between it and 8. tigrina are very 

 slight, suggests the suspicion that the latter species is at best but a 

 doubtfully good one. 



90. Tajuria longinus, Fabricius. 



I have taken it rather plentifully in the winter on the flowers of the 

 Poinsettia. It occurs also at other seasons. 



91. Pratapa cleobis, Godart. 

 Taken with the preceding.

 Common. 



94. Mahathala ameria, Hewitson, 



Rare, always found high up amongst trees.

I took a single male specimen in the Botanical Gardens in May. 



96. Satadra atrax, Hewitson. 



Recorded from Calcutta by Mr. Moore in P. Z. S. 1865, p. 774. 

 Captain Sage has taken a single specimen in May. 



97. Amblypodia naradoides, Moore. 



I have seen a single female only of this species, which was taken in 

 the compound of the Indian Museum, Calcutta.

Subfamily Pierin^e. 



98. Leptosia xiphia, Fabricius. 



Met with commonly almost throughout the year. 



99. Terias hecabe, Linnaeus. 



Common at all seasons. The males of this, as of all the species 

 of the T. hecahe group, have the scales on both sides of a small 

 portion of the median nervure of the forewing near the base on the
