Lepidoptera of Sikkim. 351 
Not uncommon at low elevations between April and 
November. 
154. Calinaga buddha. 
Calinaga buddha, Moore, Cat. Lep. E.1.C.; Butt. 
Ind., ii., p. 148, frontispiece, fig. 122, 3. 
C. brahma, Butl., Ann. Nat. Hist., 1885, p. 309 (1885). 
A rare species, which probably does not occur in 
British Sikkim, but has been brought from the central 
part of native Sikkim by Moller’s collectors. I have 
four specimens in my collection from Sikkim which 
differ but little from two taken near Dalhousie in the 
North-west. I have seen the types of Mr. Butler’s 
C. brahma, which were collected by Dr. Watt probably 
in the Naga Hills, on the march from Manipur to 
Kohima, where he collected in the spring of 1884. I 
mention this, as the locality given ‘‘ near Assam” is one 
of the most remarkable that even Mr. Butler has ever 
quoted. Kohima and Manipur are certainly near Assam, 
so is Calcutta. 
155. Penthima lisarda. 
Diadema lisarda, Doubl., Ann. Nat. Hist., 1845, p. 238. 
Penthima lisarda, Butt. Ind., ii., p. 144. 
This magnificent species is not very rare in May and 
June at 2—4000 ft. De Nicéville says that it occurs in 
deep forest, but I have never seen it myself. 
156. Newrosigma doubledayt. 
Acontia doubledayt, Westw., Cat. Or. Ent., p. 76, 
$. xxxvil., fig. 4 (1848). 
Adolias siva, Westw., Gen. Di. Lep., ., p. 291 (1850). 
Neurosigma siva, Butl., P. Z.8., 1868, p. 615; Butt. 
Ind giles; pa hdl, t..c1x.,, fie. 80. 
This fine insect is rare in Sikkim, where I have 
never seen it myself. Moller, who has the female in 
his collection, gives the elevation as from 2 to 3000 ft. 
in April and May, but it must be double-brooded, as I 
have seen it in the end of September near Cherra Punji, 
in the Khasias.* 
* Moller has since obtained it in Sikkim in October.
