820 Mr. H. J. Elwes’ catalogue of the 
55. Zophoessa baladeva. 
Zophoessa baladeva, Moore, P.Z.8., 1865, p. 769, 
t. xli., fig. 5, d; Butt. Ind., p. 167. 
I found this species rarer than either of the last on 
the road up to Tonglo in July, a specimen was taken on 
the Goompahar in June, anda few others on Tonglo 
and Tendong in August. It occurs at from about 7 to 
9000 ft., and has the same habits as the other Zophoessas. 
My collectors also brought it from the interior in 1881 
and 1883. The female, which is rare, only differs from 
the male in being larger and paler. 
56. Zophoessa ramadeva. (PI. IX., fig. 2). 
Zophoessa ramadeva, de Nicé., J. A.S.B., May, 1887. 
Of this species, of which I have not yet seen the 
description, one specimen was procured in August, 1886, 
from the interior of Sikkim by Moller’s collectors. A 
single male, which was recognised by him as identical 
is in my collection, and was taken either by myself or 
by one of my men on Tonglo in July, 1886. It is most 
nearly allied to Z. baladeva, but easily distinguished by 
the pattern of the under side. 
57. Zophoessa jalaurida. (Pl. VIIL., fig. 4). 
Z. jalaurida, de Nicé., J. A. 8. B., 1880, pt. i1., p. 245; 
Butt. Ind., p. 106, tx, fig. 19. 
Though this species was only known from the North- 
west, where Mr. de Nicéville discovered it on the Jalauri 
Pass at 6—8000 ft. in 1879, I found it very abundant all 
along the Singalelah Range between Sikkim and Nepal 
from 9 to nearly 12,000 ft. in July and August. It is 
the most abundant butterfly here, and frequents the 
opener places in the forest, flying quickly in dull and 
rainy weather, and settling on the paths, where several 
collect together at any ordure. It settles on bamboo, 
and also on rocks, where many might be found on wet 
days and in the evening, and bottled like moths. I also 
found it on the top of the Rishilah, in British Bhotan, 
at 10,400 ft., and my shikaris brought it from Chumbi 
or Bhotan in 1884 and 1885. A large number of speci- 
mens hardly vary, and agree with one from the Jalauri
