The name "karsana" is probably meant for karsandra, to which species the whole series belongs. 48. CUPIDO ARIANA. Polyommatus ariana, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 504. n. 103, pi. 31. fig. 2. d 2, Murree, 8th to 11th August, and 3rd September, 1885. Major Yerbury says that he caught this and the following species flying together at Murree in August. 49. CUPIDO NAZIRA. Polyommatus nazira, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 504. n. 102, pi. 31. fig. 4. d, Murree, 5th and 11th August, 1885. 50. PLEBEIUS TROCHILUS.

Major Yerbury says that the species is "common at Murree and along the hills to Thundiani in August and September." C. timeus has been identified for him as " Cphlceas"; it appears, however, to be a tolerably constant form, so far as I can judge from our present series; on the upper surface it much resembles C. stygianus of Kandahar, but the darker colour and red band on the under surface of the secondaries at once separate it. 53.
