THE BUTTERFLIES OF CEYLON 57 
extract from the proceedings :—-“ Nacaduba noreia, Felder 
(female). This insect, described by Felder in 1864, has 
never since been correctly determined. The name has 
usually been applied to the tailless form of N. ardates, 
The species here exhibited, however, seems without doubt 
to be the true N. noreta, Feld., with the description of which 
it very well agrees.” 
I have had four males and two females from Haldummulla 
(3,000 ft.), thirty-four males from Wellawaya (500 ft.), and two 
females from Kandy (2,000 ft.). It was originally described 
from Nuwara Eliya (6,000 ft.), so has apparently a fairly 
wide range, and it is strange it has escaped notice for so long. 
Capt. N. D. Riley has sent me a sketch of the genitalia. 
They are closely related to those of N. nora, if not identical. 
97. LamPIDES BocHus, B. and E. Jamuides bochus, M. 
and De N. 
Also found in India, Burma, Malaya, etc. 
Bingham, speaking of Indian specimens, says that the 
black border of the males, measured on the dorsum of the 
fore wing, takes up one-fourth of the wing. In my Ceylon 
specimens one-sixth is nearer the average. The female 
varies far more than the male in this respect. 
It is exceedingly abundant all over the southern half of 
the Island, and flies at Haldummulla all the year round. It 
often flights in great numbers, and these flights are usually 
composed of dwarf specimens 22-25 mm. in expanse. I have 
taken it from sea level to over 6,000 feet elevation, but have 
no notes of its capture in the North of the Island. The males 
sometimes settle on wet roads. It can usually be seen in 
quantity where Boga medelloa is planted for green manure, 
as the larve feed in the seed pods. 
98. LAMPIDES ELPIS. Also in India and Malaya. 
Common at Haldummulla, especially in March, April, and 
May. At times it becomes a pest in cardamom clearings, 
feeding on the blossoms and young seeds. 
The male varies little, and the female only in the width of 
the black border to the fore wing, and size.
