372 Mr. H. J. Elwes’ catalogue of the 
Curetis thetys. 
Anops thetys, Drury, Ill. Ins., iii., figs. 8, 4 (1778). 
2 A. stigmata, Moore, P. Z. §., 1879, p. 188. 
Moller notes this as a common species up to 3000 ft. 
from March to November, but the only one I have seen 
which can be assigned to thetys is a rufous, not grey, 
female marked gloriosa 2 by Moore, and labelled by 
him “ Darjeeling, Grote.” I have similar ones from 
Barrackpore only, and think it much more likely that the 
locality of Grote’s specimen is an error, and that Moller’s 
supposed thetys is one of the forms of bulis. 
229. Curetis bulis. 
Anops bulis, Westw. & Hew., Di. Lep., t. 75, fig. 5. 
? Curetis dentata, Moore, P. Z. 8., 1879, p. 187. 
2 C. discalis, Moore, l.c., p. 188. 
3 C. angulata, Moore, l. c., 18838, p. 522, t. 48, fig. 1. 
An extremely variable species which has received 
many names from Moore, who divides it on account of 
the varied shape of the wings and the colouring of the 
upper side. I have about fourteen males and nine 
females from Sikkim, three males and a female from 
Buxa, two males and a female from Mandi, and a male 
and female from Kangra, the latter marked dentata by 
Moore, though, if I am not mistaken, the female belongs 
to C. thetys. Moller thinks he can distinguish three 
species in Sikkim of this group, which have on the 
under side in both sexes, and in both wings, but most 
conspicuous in the hind wing, a bar of raised silvery 
scales across the cell, represented on the upper side by 
a more or less conspicuous black mark. But when I 
try to divide these specimens into two or three’ species, 
which at first would seem to be possible, I find inter- 
mediate examples which are neither of one or the other. 
The form angulata seems very distinct from some which 
have the hind wings shaped as in C. thetys, but there is 
no constancy in this character. 
230. Loxrura atymnus. 
Papilio atymnus, Cram., Pap. Ex., iv., t. ccexxxi., D, E 
(1780). 
Common up to 5000 ft. from March to December. I 
found it most abundant in the Tista Valley in August.
