took it in Cherra Punji. ‘It is not a common species, and we have only seen it 
from Sikkim, Cachar, and Silhet. Mr. L. de Nicéville took it in the Valley of the 
Great Runjit, in Sikhim, in October ; and Mr. Wood-Mason took a single specimen 
on Nemotha Peak, Cachar, in September”? (Butt. Ind. 278). Mr. H. J. Elwes 
(Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 330) records it as ‘‘ not a common species in the low Valleys of 
Sikkim up to 3000 feet, between April and December.” 
MELYNIAS PATNOIDES (Plate 141, figs. 2, 2a, 3). 
Imaco.—Male. Upperside. Forewing comparatively narrower and more tri- 
angular in shape than typical Patna, the pale blue streaks somewhat shorter and 
narrower. Hindwing conspicuously more triangular in shape; the anterior margin 
less arched, the exterior margin being almost straight from the apex to anal angle, 
and less broadly sinuous; the submarginal bluish-white spots disposed more linearly 
in their course. Underside uniformly coloured throughout. Forewing with no trace 
of the obscure pale transverse strigee (which are always present broadly across the 
disc in Patna) ; there are also five submarginal prominent small bluish-white spots, 
two apical and three lower, the lowest being slender and disposed between the 
median and submedian veinlets. Hindwing with very prominent bluish-white sub- 
marginal spots, which, as on upperside, are disposed in a more linear course, 
Expanse, d 3,%o inches. 
Hasrrar.—Burma. 
Distrizurion.—A single male was taken at Kathapa, in February, by Major 
C. H. E. Adamson. “Two specimens of the male were also taken by Mr. W. 
Doherty in the Karen Hills, East Pegu, at 4000 feet elevation in March and April, 
1890” (H. J. Elwes, P. Z. 8. 1891, 270).
