Lepidoptera of Sikkim. 319 
52. Zophoessa dura. (Pl. IX., fig. 1). 
Zophoessa dura, Marsh., J. A. 8. B., 1882, pt. i1., p. 38, 
t. iv., fig. 2; Butt. Ind., i., p. 165. 
I have two male specimens procured by Mr. Gammie’s 
native collectors somewhere east of the Tista River in 
1884 and 1885, which are certainly distinct from Z. swra, 
and agree very closely with the description of Z. dura. 
There are, however, five instead of four spots on the pale 
border of the hind wing, and it is possible that this 
species, when compared with the type of Z. dura from 
Tenasserim, will prove distinct. It is, perhaps, hardly 
to be included in the Sikkim list, but may occur in the 
forests of the interior, as do many of the species which 
I have procured from the same source. 
53. Zophoessa goalpara. 
Zophoessa goalpara, Moore, P.Z.8., 1865, p. 768 ; 
Butt. Ind., p. 165. 
I have not found this myself in Sikkim, but Mr. 
Moller took it at 6000 ft. in November, and it seems to 
be commoner than Z. sura in the forest at 6—8000 ft. 
in British Bhutan, where I took it in August near 
Rikisum. My shikaris brought it from Tendong and 
from Bhotan, and it occurs as far north-west as Simla. 
I have not seen the female. 
54. Zophoessa atkinsonia. 
Zophoessa atkinsonia, Hew., Ent. Mo. Mag., 1876, 
p- 151; Moore, Coll. Atk., p. 2, t. i.; Butt. Ind., 
p. 166. 
I found this species, which has hitherto been very rare 
in collections, not uncommon on the road to Tonglo at 
8—9000 ft. in July; and Mr. Moller’s collectors brought 
numerous specimens from the same locality in August. 
It also occurs in the interior of Bhotan and Sikkim. It 
settles on the path and flies into the forest when dis- 
turbed. The females are seldom taken, and differ but 
very slightly from the male.
