332 ZOOLOGICAL GEOGRAPHY. [PART II. 
a genus of Ceciliade, is peculiar to the Khasya Hills; Tylo- 
tritron (Salamandride) to Yunan in Western China, and perhaps 
belongs to the Palearctic region. 
Of the tail-less Batrachians, Glyphoglossus is found in Pegu; 
Xenophys in the Eastern Himalayas; while Callula, Izalus, 
Rhacophorus, Hylurana, Oxyglossus, and Phrynoglossus, are com- 
mon to the Himalo-Chinese and Malayan sub-regions. 
Of the lizards, Colotes, Barycephalus, and Hinulia,—and of 
the Batrachia, Bufo—are found at above 11,000 feet elevation in 
the Himalayas. 
Insects—So little has been done in working out the insect 
faunas of the separate sub-regions, that they cannot be treated 
in detail, and the reader is referred to the chapter on the dis- 
tribution of insects in the part of this work devoted to Geogra- 
phical Zoology. A few particulars may, however, be given as to 
the butterflies, which have been more systematically collected in 
tropical countries than any other order of insects. The Hima- 
layan butterflies, especially in the eastern portions of the range— 
in Assam and the Khasya Hills—are remarkably fine and very 
abundant; yet all the larger groups extend into the Malayan 
sub-region, many to Ceylon, and a considerable proportion even 
to Africa and Austro-Malaya. There are a large number of 
peculiar types, but most of them consist of few or single species. 
Such are Neope, Orenoma, and Rhaphicera, genera of Satyride ; 
Enispe (Morphide) ; Hestina, Penthema, and Abrota (Nympha- 
lide) ; Dodona (Erycinide) ; Ilerda (Lycenide) ; Calinaga, Teino- 
palpus, and Bhutanitis (Papilionide). Its more prominent fea- 
tures are, however, derived from what may be termed Malayan, 
or even Old World types, such as Huplea, among Danaide; 
Amathusia, Clerome, and Thaumantis, among Morphide ; Euripus, 
Diadema, Athyma, Limenitis, and Adolias, among Nymphalide, 
Zemeros and Taxila among Erycinide; Amblypodia, Miletus, 
Llerda, and Myrina, among Lycenide ; Thyca, Prioneris, Dereas, 
Iphias, and Thestias among Pieride; and Papilios of the 
“ Amphrisius,” “ Coon,” “ Philoxenus,” “ Protenor,’ “ Paris,’ and 
“ Sarpedon” groups. In the Himalayas there is an unusual 
abundance of large and gorgeous species of the genus Papilio,
