Show 138 LIEUT.-COL. C. SWINHOE ON THE LEPIDOPTERA [Feb. 3, cell in the third median nervule, the spot at the end of this streak on the interspace between this and the second median nervule being much larger and more round, and by a spot near the hinder angle corresponding to the spot on the underside. Expanse of wings, 6" 1T 4 0- l-$>inch, $ l-nr~l"rV 104. APPIAS LlBYTHEA. Pap. libythea, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 471 (1775). Poona, October to April ; Bombay, July to December. 105. APPIAS ARES, n. sp. Poona, November to March. Allied to A. libythea, but smaller and altogether paler, and very different in the female. 6*. Above and below of the same white spotless colour as A. libythea, with the same kind of greyish irrorations on the costa above, but differing at the apex and outer border of the fore wings in being marked with only a few greyish-brown atoms, instead of the inwardly-toothed black border of A. libythea. 2 • Above white ; fore wing with the costa finely grey, a streak at the end of the cell, a deep costal band on the basal half, filling the upper third of the cell, an apical band, commencing from the first subcostal nervule, and gradually fining down the outer border of the hinder angle, iron-grey; hind wings immaculate. Below white, apex of fore wings and the entire suface of hind wings slightly suffused with chrome-yellow, darkest in the basal portion of the costa of the hind wings ; both wings quite unmarked. Expanse of wings, S 2-^0- inches, $ ly9^. 106. HIPOSCRITIA SHIVA, n. sp. (Plate IX. figs. 1 d, 2 $ .) Parbutti Hill, Poona, December to April; very plentiful, but confined entirely to this hill. Allied to H. narendra, Moore, but much smaller. J . Very much like a diminutive H. narendra above, but the hind wings are quite unmarked. Below, the fore wings have the black band limiting the apical patch much broader, and the hind wings are pale dirty bone-colour and quite unmarked. $ . Has the apical patch like the female of narendra with the costa irrorated with the same colour, but without the broad costal band of that insect; the hind wings have a black macular border. Below, it is very similar to the male, with the subapical band broader, and the hind wings irrorated with grey and a black dot at the end of the cell. Expanse of wings of H. shiva, 2y7 inches. The female of H. narendra, which has never been described, has below a broad costal black band, a broad apical black patch with the apex suffused with chrome-yellow. Hind wings chrome-vellow, deeply irrorated with dark greenish grey. Expanse of wings of H. narendra, 2-j% inches. |
