Lepidoptera of Sikkim. 347 
It occurs not uncommonly in Sikkim up to 4000 ft. 
from April to December. 
140. Neptis ophiana. 
Neptis ophiana, Moore, P. Z.8., 1872, p. 561; Butt. 
Ind., i., p. 205. 
Not uncommon in Sikkim at low elevations up to 
8000 ft. between March and December. It is a question 
as to whether this is really distinct from columella, 
Cram., and, until a series of Chinese specimens can be 
procured for comparison, I do not see that it is possible 
to decide the question. 
141. Cirrhochroa aoris. 
Cirrhochroa aoris, Doubl., Hew., Gen. Di. Lep., 1., 
p. 158, t. xxi., fig. 2, ¢ (1848); Butt. Ind., i, 
p. 109. 
C. abnormis, Moore, J.A.8.B., 1884, pt. i, p. 19; 
Butt. Ind., ii., p. 110. 
Common up to about 6000 ft. from April to December. 
The insect described as abnormis is no doubt a variety of 
this; no characters are given in the description by which 
it can be separated from aoris. 
142. Cirrhochroa mithila. 
Cirrhochroa mithila, Moore, P. Z.8., 1872, p. 558; 
Butt. Ind., i., p. 114. 
C. rotundata, Butl., Trans. Linn. Soe., 1877, p. 543; 
Butt. Ind., u., p. 114. 
C. anjira, Moore, P. Z.8., 1877, p. 584; Butt. Ind., 
it,3) Pa Lip. 
A fairly common species up to 4 or 5000 ft. in some 
localities, arfl agrees very well with specimens from 
Burmah and Cachar. I agree with de Nicéville in 
thinking that rotundata cannot be separated from mithila, 
and the same may be said of C. anjira, Moore. 
148. Pseudergolis wedah. 
Ariadne wedah, Koll., Hugel’s Kash., p. 487 (1848). 
Precis veda, Kirby, Cat. Di. Lep., p. 191 (1871).
