Lepidoptera of Sikkim. 325 
I have seen no specimens of this species certainly 
from Sikkim, but de Nicéville says that such exist in the 
Indian Museum,.and it has been taken by Mr. Knyvett’s 
collectors in the interior of Bhutan; so it may very 
possibly occur in the drier parts of native Sikkim also.

Forma hyemale. 
Y. marshalli, Butl., Ann. Nat. Hist., 1882, p. 878; 
Butt. Ind., i., p. 217. 
The commonest species of the genus at low elevations 
in Sikkim from the Terai up to about 5000 ft. The cold- 
weather brood, which has the ocelli small or obsolete, 
agrees very well with those which de Nicéville has bred 
from eggs of philomela in Calcutta. In the rains it is more 
abundant, and the form with ocelli well-marked is then 
the only one found, but the species occurs during the 
whole year in greater or less numbers.

This occurs in Sikkim from the Terai up to about 
5000 ft. from May to September. My specimens agree 
with those from Cachar and Aracan, but I have none 
from Nepal, which de Nicéville says are probably nareda. 
71. Ypthima narasingha. 
Ypthima narasingha, Moore, Cat. E.I1.C., p. 286

This distinct species I have only seen in Hewitson’s 
and the British Museum collections. Neither Méller,
