Afghanistan, in May 1880. This looks much like a well-marked variety of the following species. 47. GANORIS RAP^E. Papilio rapa?, Linnaeus, Faun. Suec. p. 270, n. 1036 (1761). One specimen, Quetta, 26th March; one at Chaman, May 1880. 48. NEPHERONIA PINGASA (NO. 1). Eronia pingasa, Moore, P. Z. S. 1872, p. 365. One male. Neilgherries. The specimen sent belongs to the variety in which the upper surface exactly resembles N. Valeria S ; and the under surface shows traces of the submarginal spots, which in the female limit the outer border. The species belongs to the N. Valeria group, the females of which (unlike that of N. hippia) show no trace of yellow on the secondaries. PAPILIONIN^E. 49. PAPILIO B U D D H A (No. 3). Papilio Buddha, Westwood, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1872, p. 86, pi. 3. fig.l. One damaged specimen of this rare species. Neilgherries. P. erithonius is said to be common at Kurrachee from January to March, August and December; and P. diphilus very common in August only. HESPERIIDJE. 50. PAMPHILA MATHIAS. Hesperia mathias, Fabricius, Ent. Syst. Suppl. p. 433 (1798). One male. Kurrachee, June 1879. "Very common in February, April, May, July, September, and November," according to Major Swinhoe; but it is probable that the following species is included in this statement. 51. PAMPHILA KARSANA. Hesperia karsana, Moore, P. Z. S. 1874, p. 576, pi. 67. fig. 6. One male. Kurrachee, May 1879. The small size, golden brown coloration, and absence of hyaline spots readily distinguish this from P. mathias. 52. PYRGUS EVANIDUS. Pyrgus evanidus, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist, ser, 5, vol. v. p. 223. Nine specimens. Kurrachee. |
