﻿46 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



December on a Peak 5000 feet near Potingi, Jaipur State, Eastern Gliats ; a female 

 without locality in Col. A. M. Lang's collection, and another from Cannanore, South 

 India, in Col. J. H. McLeod's collection, and Mr. E. T. Atkinson records it as rare 

 from the Outer Himalayas of the North-West Provinces" (Butt. ind. ii. p. 18). 

 Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 124) records "two females from Jhulaghat, 

 East Kumaon." Mr. H. J. Blwes (Tr. Eut. Soc. 1888, 335) says "this species 

 rarely occurs in the Sikkim Hills, but in the Terai, and as far out in The Plains as 

 Jalpaiguri, it has been taken by Mr. A. V. Knyvett and Mr. Otto Moller, in July, 

 August, and September." Mr. L. de Niceville (Sikkim Gazetteer, 1894, 132) says 

 " this is one of the rarest of the butterflies of Sikkim. The male is always rarer 

 than the female." Major C. H. E. Adamson (List Butt. Burm. p. 11) records "the 

 capture of four males and one female in the Bhamo District ; males taken in October 

 and November, on the Sinkan River, and female in May." Mons. G. A. Poujade 

 (Nouv. Arch, du Mus. 3rd ser. iii. p. 263, pi. ii. fig. 3) records and figures a female 

 taken near Bankok, Siam. 



Mimicry. — The males probably mimic the Limnaine butterfly Tirumala Lhnniace, 

 and it is suggested by Mr. L. de Niceville (Butt. Ind. ii. 18) that the females 

 probably mimic species of the protected Pierine genus Thyca.
