I cannot agree at all with Col. Swinhoe's statement that typical L. dorippus is variable ; I never saw a doubtful specimen. SATYRIN^E. 3. AULOCERA SARASWATI. Satyrus saraswati, Kollar in Hiig. Kaschm. iv. 2, p. 445, pi. 14. figs. 3, 4 (1848). 5, Dewal, 26th August; d $, Murree, 5th September, 1885. " Common at Murree in August. Some of those obtained towards Thundiani, though under this number (42) were noted by De Niceville as A padma."-J. W. Y. The four examples sent to us by Major Yerbury are all typical A. saraswati. A. padma is so perfectly distinct from that species, that Mr. de Niceville can hardly have mistaken one for the other; at the same time I cannot include it without proof. 4. AULOCERA SWAHA.
