340 Mr. H. J. Elwes’ catalogue of the 
112. Apatura chevana. 
Athyma chevana, Moore, P. Z.8., 1865, p. 768, t. xli., 
fig. 1. 
Apatura chevana, Butt. Ind., p. 52. 
This very beautiful species is seldom found at low 
elevations between April and October. The only female 
I have seen is in Méller’s collection. It is much larger 
and yellower in tint than the male, and quite devoid of 
blue gloss. 
113. Apatura parvata. 
Apatura parvata, Moore, Cat. Lep. E.1.C., p. 202, 
t. vi. a, 6 (1857), ¢; Butt. Ind., i, p. 53. 
Very rare in Sikkim, where I do not know its habitat 
or season, but common at Buxa. 
114. Apatura sordida. 
Apatura sordida, Moore, P. Z. §., 1865, p. 765, t. xli., 
2, ¢5 Butt. Ind., i, p..52. 
Also a very rare species, which has been taken by 
Messrs. Moller and de Nicéville at low elevations in 
Sikkim from June to October. 
115. Apatura parysatis. 
Apatura parysatis, Westw., Gen. Di. Lep., ii., p. 805 
(1850) ; Butt. Ind., i., p. 54, t. xx., fig. 92, 2 2. 
The male of this small and curiously-coloured insect 
is the blackest butterfly I know. The female, which is 
much rarer, 1s, however, very unlike it on the upper 
side. It occurs up to 6000 ft. from April to November. 
116. Hestina nama. 
Diadema nama, Doubl., Ann. Nat. Hist., 1845, p. 232; 
Gen. Di. Lep., il., t. xxxix., fig. 2. 
Hestina nama, Butt. Ind., ii., p. 56, t. xxii., fig. 99, 2. 
Very common up to 6000 ft., but most abundant at 
3 or 4000 ft. from March to December. Mr. de Nicé- 
ville says that it exactly mimics Danais tytia, but I 
cannot see the resemblance myself, as the flight of the 
latter is so different that I could distinguish it at a
