118. Appias hippoides, Moore. 



I took a siugle male in a garden at Sealdah in November. 



119. HiPOSCRiTiA iMBECiLis, Moore. 



A single male taken in February. It differs from that species in 

 having the markings of the underside more pronounced, and also in hav- 

 ing a diffused black spot on the underside of the fore wing between the 

 upper median nervnles. It is doubtfully distinct from H. indra, Moore. 



120. Belenois mesentina, Cramer. 

 Common. Feeds on Capparis Jiorrida. 



121. Nepheronia gma, Felder. 



Very common. The female is dimorphic ; the form which has the 

 base of the wings yellow is rare. Feeds on GaiiiJaris horrida. 

 *122. Nepheronia hippia, Fabricius. 



I have taken but one species of Neplieronia in Calcutta. N. hippia 

 is unknown to me ; unless it is synonymic with N. gaea, which is very 

 probable. Mr. Wallace in his paper* on Eastern FieridcB unites them as 

 one species. 



123. Delias eucharis, Drury. 



Swarms in the winter, specimens are to be met with throughout 

 the year. 



124. Delias hierte, var. indica, Wallace. 

 A single male taken in February. 



Subfamily Papilionin^. 



125. Papilio (Pathysa) • nomius, Esper. 



This species comes out in profusion in March, and is the only single- 

 brooded species in Calcutta with which I am acquainted. Larva feeds 

 on Polyalthia longifolia. 



126. Papilio (Zetides) doson, Felder. 



Appears about the same time as the preceding, and specimens may 

 be met with throughout the summer, but the spring brood is the largest. 

 Larva feeds on the young leaves only of Polyalthia longifolia. 



127. Papilio (Harimala) crino, Fabricius. 



First appears in March, individual specimens met with throughout 

 the hot weather. Very difficult to capture, and the rarest Papilio in 

 Calcutta. 



128. Papilio (Orpheides) erithonius, Cramer. 



Very common. I have bred the larva from ^gle marmelos. 



129. Papilio (Iliades) polymnestor, Cramer. 



First appears at the end of March, specimens occur throughout the 

 hot weather. I have bred the larva on pomelo {Citrus deciimana) .
