296 Mr. H. J. Elwes’ catalogue of the 
12, or about 10 per cent., are peculiar to the Himalayas 
and Indo-Malay subregion. 
5, or about 4 per cent., are characteristic of the Hima- 
layo-Chinese subregion, though one of them— 
Lethe—extends to Malayana. 
12, or about 10 per cent., are peculiar to the Hima- 
layas, some extending, however, to the mountains 
of Assam and Tenasserim and K. Tibet. 
6, or about 5 per cent., are peculiar to or characteristic 
of the Palearctic region. 
2 are apparently confined to the Indian subregion. 
Of the genera which I consider specially characteristic 
of Sikkim are as follows :— 
Anadebis.confined to Eastern Himalaya. 
Zophoessa extends to Tenasserim. 
Orinoma extends to Assam. 
Raphicera extends to E. Tibet. 
Cyllogenes extends to Bhutan. 
Neurosigma extends to Assam. 
Abrota confined to Sikkim. 
Dodona extends to Tenasserim. 
Camena extends to Khasia. 
Ilerda extends to Java, Borneo, and E. Tibet. 
Teinopalpus confined to Sikkim, and probably West 
Bhutan. 
We have also three monotypic genera of Hesperide 
which at present have only been taken in Sikkim, viz. :— 
Capila jayadeva. 
Pizzola zennara. 
Dharpa hanria. 
The genera which I find represented in largest numbers 
in Sikkim, and which are most abundant in species also, 
are the following :— 
Lethe, with 23 species, a genus well-represented 
nowhere but in Himalaya. 
Zophoessa, with 9 species; only one or two known 
elsewhere. 
Neptis, with 17 species ; very numerous in the Indo- 
Malay countries. 
Euthalia, with 15 species. 
Charaxes, with 10 species. 
Amblypodia, with 21 species.
