Pass. The female is comparatively scarce, and hardly 
differs from the male. 
58. Zophoessa molleri. (Pl. VIIL., fig. 3). 
Zophoessa mélleri, Elwes, P. Z.8., 1887, p. 445. 
Found by me on the Singalelah Range from about 
9 to 11,000 ft. in July, 1886, mixed with Z. jalaurida, 
but not nearly so abundant. The females, of which I 
took one or two only, are very rare. It is very near to, 
but quite distinct from, jalawrida, as will be seen on 
comparing the under sides. It has the same habits, and 
does not appreciably vary in the numerous specimens I 
collected. 
59. Zophoessa yama. 
Zophoessa yama, Moore, Cat. Lep. H.1.C.,i., p. 221 
(1857): ButtoInd., p. 169, t.. x, fg. 2. 
This species seems rare in British Sikkim, where I 
never saw it. It occurs on Tendong, however, at 
6—7000 ft. in June and July, and to the eastward, where 
I saw a single specimen at Rikisum in British Bhotan, in 
August. Mr. Knyvett’s collectors also found it commoner 
near Buxa, in Bhotan. These eastern specimens are 
much larger and richer in colour than those from the 
N.W. Himalaya. 
60. Neope pulaha. 
Lasiommata ? pulaha, Moore, Cat. Lep. H. I. C., i., 
p. 227 (1857). 
_ Neope pulaha, Butt. Ind., p. 170, t. xi., fig. 25. 
Not rare on the Singalelah Range at 9—11,000 ft. in 
July, and common on Tendong and in British Bhotan, 
near Rikisum, in August. It settles on ordure in the 
paths, and when disturbed flies quickly into the forest, 
but returns in a short time to the same place. Mr. 
Miller also notes its occurrence in March. 
61. Neope bhadra. 
Lasiommata ? bhadra, Moore, l.c., p. 227. 
Neope bhadra, Butt. Ind., p. 171. 
This species is found in the hot valleys from 1 to 3 or 
4000 ft. between May and December. I never saw it in 
profusion, as Mr. de Nicéville seems to have done, but
