Ind. iii. p. 143. Taken in the Naga and Karen Hills. NACADUBA KERRIANA. Nacaduba kerriana, Distant, Ann. N . H . (5) vol. xvii. p. 253 (1886); id. Rhop. Mai. p. 455, t. xiii. fig. 12 3; Butt. Ind. iii. p. 146. A pair of this species from Perak : the female differs from the male exactly as do the females of N. macrophthalma and N. atrata, which last it closely resembles, from their respective males. I also have two specimens from the Karen Hills, which have the centre of both wings above pale bluish white, and the underside pale with the markings very indistinct, except the black marginal spots and anal ocellus ; these agree exactly with N. kerriana and appear to m e to be probably a dry-season form of it. NACADUBA VIOLA \ Lampides viola, Moore, Ann. N. H. (4) vol. xx. p. 340 (1877). Nacaduba viola, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 146. Four males and two females from the Naga Hills. NACADUBA ATRATA.

Nacaduba ardates, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 153, t. xxvii. fig. 185 o* (tailless form). Both forms were taken in the Karen Hills, but only the tailed form was sent from the Nagas. NACADUBA BHUTEA. Nacaduba bhutea, de Nicev. J. A. S. B. vol. Iii. pt. ii. p. 72, 1.1. fig. 13 3 (1883); Butt. Ind. iii. p. 152. Males only from the Naga Hills, agreeing exactly with those from Sikkim.
