76 THE BUTTERFLIES OF CEYLON 
The male mainly differs from longinus 3 in its “‘ dull frosted 
greyish blue’”’ colour, without any of the iridescence of 
longinus. The females are more difficult to distinguish, but 
the post-discal band on the upper side of the fore wing is 
composed of fine lines for the whole of its length, whereas 
in Jonginus ¢ the anterior portion widens out into oval black 
spots. 
130 TAJURIA JEHANA CEYLONICA, ssp. nov. 
A local race of T. jehana, first discovered by Mr. F. A. 
Fairlie, and described by Capt. Riley in “The Entomologist ”’ 
for Sept. rg2r (Vol. LIV.). It differs from typical jehana 
in the greater extent of the blue area on the fore wing above. 
See Plate 2, figs. 2 and 2a. 
It is apparently confined to the Northern Province, and the 
only place that I have seen it is between Kankesanturai and 
Kirimalei on the north coast in July, August, December, and 
January. 
I found it plentiful on a hedge of Todalia aculeata, which 
was in blossom in December and January. I only captured 
a few, intending to take more later, but for the rest of my 
stay in the district the weather was so bad that I got no more. 
It was in company with T. Jonginus, but was easily distin- 
guished by the different gray of the under side, and smaller 
size. 
In July, 1916, it was very plentiful in the same place, at 
tamarind blossom. The wind was, as usual at that time of 
year, very strong, and the butterflies kept to the sheltered 
side of the trees, and were easy to catch with a long-handled 
net. | 
131. CHLIARIA NILGIRICA, E. Hypolycena nilgirica, De 
ING nis 
Also found in S. India. 
A very rare insect. The males may be taken settled on 
wet roads, or in beds of streams, at Wellawaya, and I have 
taken one female at Haldummulla. Mr. F. A. Fairlie took 
specimens at Jaffna and Mr. F. M. Mackwood gives Matale, 
Heneratgoda, Dolosbage and Puttalam, as localities,
