Kaschm. iv. 2, p. 418 (1848). October to February. Very plentiful in October. 39. CATOCHRYSOPS HAPALINA. Catochrysops hapalina, Butler, P. Z. S. 1883, p. 148, pi. f. 2, 3. December and January. 40. CATOCHRYSOPS ELLA. Catochrysops ella, Butler, P. Z. S. 1881, p. 606. September to November. 41. JAMIDES BOCHUS. Pap. bochus, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. pi. 391. f. C, D (1782). September to November. 42. ZIZERA MAHA. Lycamamaha, Kollar, Hiig. Kaschm. iv. 2, p. 422(1848). Mhow, April, May, and June ; Manpore, June. 43. ZIZERA CHANDALA. Polyommatus chandala, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 504, pi. 31. f. 5. November, February, April, and May. Mr. Moore, in P. Z. S. 1882, p. 245, has put this Species as a synonym to the preceding one. This I think is a mistake. He had, if 1 recollect rightly, only two examples, both males, in his collection. They were quite common at Mhow; and I found no difficulty in recognizing them, they are much paler blue than Z. maha. The females are the same colour as the males, instead of brown 'like Z. maha, and the underside in both sexes has very faint spots on|the hind wings, each spot having a whitish ring round it. 44. ZIZERA KARSANDRA. Polyommatus karsandra, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 505, pi. 31. f. 7. October to May. This insect is very variable in colour; the type is brown. Irrespective of sex, the colour varies from blue to dark brown. I have many examples from Quetta, Metazai, Sukkur, Karachi, the Punjaub, Central India, the Deccan, and also from Aden, of many shades of colour, quite impossible to separate. |
