Lepidoptera of Sikkim. 327 
on the under side in the commoner cold-weather form 
are very small. But I have three specimens taken by 
myself at Pashok in Sikkim, and at Mamloo in the 
Khasia Hills, in August and September, which I take to 
be the wet-season form of this species, in which the 
ocelli of the under side are as large and distinct as in 
Y. sakra. Y.methora is, however, always distinguished 
from sakra by the striation of the under side, and by the 
band crossing both wings, which is most conspicuous in 
the female ; and my Sikkim and Bhotan females of the 
cold-weather brood, taken in February and March, agree 
with one from Burmah named methora by Moore. It is 
distinguished from philomela of Hubner by its constantly 
much larger size—about two inches and over—and, 
though in the ‘ Butterflies of India’ the size of Y. philo- 
mela is given as exceeding two inches in some specimens, 
yet I have none from Sikkim which can be confused with 
Y. methora even in the female sex. The types of 
methora which I have examined in the Hewitson collec- 
tion are three females, and agree with mine. 
75. Gineis pumilus. 
Chionobas pumilus, Feld., Reise Nov., ii., p. 490, 
t. lxix., figs. 6, 7 (1866); Elwes, P.Z.8., 1882, 
p. 404, t. xxv., fig. 3. 
Gneis pumilus, Butt. Ind., p. 238, t. xv., fig. 87, 3. 
Only occurs in the interior at great elevations, and 
not in British Sikkim. I have received others from the 
same source as those I described above, and though 
there is, as de Nicéville says, a considerable difference 
between them and Felder’s species from Ladak, both in 
the deeper brown colour and in the more conspicuous 
bands on both wings, yet all the markings are identical 
in form, and I should not like to separate the Sikkim 
from the Ladak race without seeing a large series of the 
latter. 
76. Callerebia annada.* 
Erebia annada, Moore, Cat. E. 1. C., p. 226 (1857). 
Callerebia annada, Butt. Ind., i., p. 245. 
I have no specimens taken in recent years in Sikkim, 
* C. annada was taken in 1887 by Mr. Knyvett’s native col- 
lectors in the interior of West Bhotan, near the Sikkim frontier.
