Show 1892.] THE NAGA AND KAREN HILLS AND PERAK. 627 Cupido agnata, Druce, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1874, p. 106. n. 4, pi. xvi. figs. 2, 4 3, 3 2 - Lampides conferenda, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 5th series, vol. xviii. p. 185. n. 25 (1886). Plebeius malaccanus, Rober, Iris, vol. i. p. 57, pi. iv. fig. 3 3 (1886). In adopting the name of celeno for this species I follow M r. Salvin, who has pointed out to m e that Cramer's plate exactly agrees with what is usually known as P. alexis and H. eelianus ; for though Cramer says it comes from Surinam, his plate is unmistakable. For the synonymy I a m indebted to M r . de Niceville. It is the type of a group in which the 1st and 2nd bars of the fore wing below reach the costa though broken at the top, whilst the 3rd band extends to the hind margin and the 4th to the 2nd median nervule. A specimen of the wet-season form was sent from Perak, and some of the dry-season form from the Karen Hills. LAMPIDES PURA. Lampides pura, Moore, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., Zool. xxi. 41 (1886) ; Butt. Ind. iii. p. 170, front, fig. 132 $ dry-season form. This species, which I distinguish from the last by the very narrow, usually obsolete black border of the fore wing in the male, occurs in Perak, and Doherty took both the wet- and dry-season forms in the Karen Hills. LAMPIDES OSIAS. Plebejus osias, Rober, Iris, i. (1886, March), p. 56, t. v. fig. 17. Lyccena osias, Staudinger, Iris, ii. (1889), p. 164, t. i. fig. 4 $ . 1 Lampides subdita, Moore, 1. c.; Butt. Ind. iii. p. 166. This species I distinguish by the deep blue colour of the wings above, and dark grey ground of the underside, in which it agrees with L. optimus, Kheil, from Nias. The latter, however, is quite distinct by the pale colour of both sexes above, and double border of the fore wings in the female. Specimens from Perak agree with some from Sumatra which, I think, are L. saturata of Snellen. CATOCHRYSOPS STRABO. Hesperia strabo, Fabr. Ent. Syst. iii. pt. i. p. 287 (1793). Catochrysops strabo, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 177. Lampides lithargyria, Moore, Ann. N . H . (4) xx. p. 340 ; Butt. Ind. iii. p. 178. Sent from Margharita and the Karen and Naga Hills. I cannot see how to separate C. lithargyria, which seems to occur in the same places as C. strabo, though not so abundantly. CATOCHRYSOPS PANDAVA. Lyccena pandava, Horsf. Cat. Lep. E. I. Co. p. 84 (1828). Catochrysops pandava, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 183. Doherty sent this from Bernardmyo and Momeit only. |
