Prefers ilex trees; scarcely ever seen on any other tree."-/. TV. Y. 34. POLYOMMATUS BJETICUS. Papilio bceticus, Linnaeus, Syst. Nat. i. 2, p. 789. n. 226 (1767). d , Campbellpore, 29th October, 1885. " Common, May, June, and July."-/ TV. Y. 35. CATOCHRYSOPS CNEJUS. Hesperia cnejus, Fabricius, Ent. Syst. Suppl. p. 430 (1798). d 2, Campbellpore, 31st May, 15th July, and 27th October ; d, Murree, 5th August. This and the following are mixed up ; one of them being identified for Major Yerbury as C. strabo, an insect to which they are by no means nearly allied. 36. CATOCHRYSOPS HAPALINA. Catochrysops hapalina, Butler, P. Z. S. 1883, p. 148, pi. 24. figs. 2, 3. d , Campbellpore, 27th October ; $ , 21st November, 1885. " Comn on on baubul bushes in October."-/. TV. Y. The female was numbered as possibly Zizera putli; but as it was unset, the difference between the two was not so easily seen as might be supposed from the mounted specimens. 37. CATOCHRYSOPS ELLA. Catochrysops ella, Butler, P. Z. S. 1881, p. 606. n. 17. 2, Campbellpore, 21st November, 1885. One beautiful specimen, confounded with the preceding, from which, however, its brighter colouring above and smoky grey under surface at once distinguish it. 38. EVERES DIPORA. Lycaena dipora, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 506. n. 108, pi. 31. fig. 8. 2 , Murree, 20th August, 1885. " Catochrysopspatalal $, rare."-/. TV. Y. I cannot understand how any lepidopterist can have given to Major Yerbury an identification so wide of the mark as the above; the very colouring of the under surface at once points out to what group of Lycaenidae the species belongs, apart from all structural distinctions. 39. AZANUS ZENA. Lycaena zena, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 505. n. 107, pi. 31. fig. 9. $ 2 . Campbellpore, 17th and 21st November, 1885. " Common on baubul bushes in October."-/. TV. Y. |
