BUTTERFLIES OF THARRA WADDY AND PEGU YOMA. 105 



Major W. H. Evans, R.E., who has very kiudly identified all 

 doubtful specimens and helped me in every way possible. 



Nymphalid^. 



Danaina;. 



1. Danai)> aglea melanoides, M. Very common everywhere. I have 

 obtained D. ac/leoides around Rangoon and from Bassein. In the former 

 place, at any rate, it was flying with melanoides, but it seems to reach its 

 northern limit about Rangoon and I have met with none in Tharrawaddy, 

 Toungoo or further north. 



2. D. limniace, Cr. Very common everywhere. 



3. D. plexippus, L. Very common. 



4. D. chrysippus, L. Very common. 



I have D. melanippus indicus, Fruh. From Rangoon but it comes no 

 further north. 



o. Euplcea godarti, Lucas. This is the common Eupltea of Lower Burma, 

 and it is found in profusion throughout Tharrawaddy. The dimorph, 

 layardi, Druce, seems to be rare, and I only have one from the Henzada 

 District. 



6. E. alcathoe cssatia, Fruh. Not common. I got it once in the Thonze 

 Reserve on 2nd March 1913. E. harrisi hopei should occur but I have not 

 met with it. 



7. E. mulciber, Cr. Very common. 



8. E. crasm, But. Not uncommon and probably many could be got in 

 the right place. Of four specimens that I have set, one, a rains form, might 

 probably be called masoni, Moore, while the other three which are d. s. f. 

 seem from the scanty descriptions in Seitz to be equally referable to crassa 

 apicalis, peinbertoni or hurmeisteri. 



9. E. diocletiana, Fabr. This is not common, but I obtained it in the 

 Thonze Reserve in May 1912. Like E. alcathue andcra.ssa it prefers moister 

 jungle than is usually met with in Tharrawaddy. 



Satyrince. 



10. Ypthima hubneri, Kir. Very common everywhere. 



11. Y. icatsoni, M. Fairly common in the forest and 1 obtained a good 

 series in January, February and onwards. 



12. Y. philomela indecora, M. As mentioned by Major Evans in Journal, 

 B. N. H. S., Vol. XXII, No. 2, page 282. I obtained a good series of this 

 insect in February 1913 at Yetho and Sanbok villages. I also find I have 

 it from the Henzada District. 



13. Y. baldus, Fabr. Very common. Whether I have mixed up sobrina 

 and similis among my baldus I cannot say, but it seems likely. 



14. Y. dohertyi, M. One specimen from the Kyanktada hill on the 

 Yoma, 2,640', on" 16th November 1911. 



lo. y. sat-ara, G-Smith. Common from February onwards. 1 have met it 

 in other parts of Burma where it was also common, from the Arakan Yoma 

 in Minbu District to the North Shan States close to Yunnan. 



16. Elites rotundata, de Nic. This is a local insect, but when found can 

 be obtained in numbers. Particularly frequents bamboo jungle, and flies
