298. Sithon mandarinus. 
Myrina mandarinus, Hew., Ill. Lye., p. 28, t. xi., figs. 
CY re ae 
This fine species is found in the Khasia, and, according 
to Moller, occasionally occurs in the low valleys of Sikkim 
during and after the rains. Perhaps this is the same as 
fabronia, Hew., but I have no Sikkim specimens for com- 
parison, and those from the Khasia hills in my own and 
the Hewitson collection are not sufficient for comparison. 
299. Camena ctesia. (Pl. VIIL., fig. 6, 2). 
Camena ctesia, Hew., Ill. Di. Lep., p. 48, t. xx., figs. 
1, 2 (1865). 
Not an uncommon insect up to 3 or 4000 ft., from 
April to October. The female, which I here figure, has 
not been, as far as I know, previously described, and was 
taken by me in August at Rikisum, 6000 ft. elevation, 
in British Bhotan. The species also occurs in the 
Jaintia hills. 
300. Cheritra freja. 
Hesperia freja, Fabr., Ent. Syst., ii., p. 203 (1798). 
Myrina jaffra, Horsf., Cat. Lep. E. I. C., p. 118, t. i., 
figs. 5, 5a, (1829). 
Not at all so common an insect in Sikkim, as it seems to 
be further east, and found only at the foot of the hills. 
801. Cheritra (Ticherra) acte. 
Myrina acte, Moore, Cat. E. I. C., i., p. 47, 2 (1877); 
Hew., Ill. Di. Lep. Lyc., p. 30, t. xii, figs. 8, 
9, d, dry season form (1863). 
Ticherra acte, de Nicé., P. Z.8., 1887, p. 457, t. xl., 
fig. 5, ¢, wet season form. 
I was on the point of describing the form figured by 
de Nicéville, when I received the MSS. of his paper, in 
which he pointed out that the marked difference in the 
colour of the under side of the two forms was probably a 
seasonal variation, and my own specimens confirm this 
opinion. I have one taken by Mr. Gammie’s collector 
on February 28th, which is at least a third smaller than
