Lepidoptera of Sikkim. 395 
the remainder of my series, five pairs; and shows the 
extreme effect of the dry season in reducing the size and 
dulling the colour of the under side of this species. Itis 
so different from those taken in J uly that no one would 
consider it as the same species, if it stood alone. It 
occurs at low elevations almost all the year, at least from 
January to November. 
302. Cheritrella truncipennis. 
Cheritrella truncipennis, de Nicé., P. Z. S., 1887, p. 456, 
t. Xxxix., figs: 4,5; 3, 2. 
I have only seen this rare species in Moller’s col- 
lection; it was taken by his native collectors at a low 
elevation in June. 
803. Myrina ? symira. 
Myrina symira, Hew., Ill. Lye., Suppl., p. 26, t. iid, 
figs. 107, 108 (1869). 
This very curious little species is unknown to me, 
excepting by the unique type specimen which I have 
seen in the Hewitson collection, and which ig said to 
have been collected by the late Mr. Atkinson at Dar- 
jeeling. It much resembles a small form of acte, with 
the same yellow under side, but has no white spots on 
the hind wing. Possibly it is an aberration of acte. 
304. Myrina? Cyara. 
Myrina Cyara, Hew., l. ¢., t. iii. b, figs. 109, 110 (1869). 
This, which appears to be the female of a to me un- 
known species, is also unique in Hewitson’s collection, 
and said to be from Darjeeling. The marking of the 
underside is quite unlike that of any other known to me. 
305. Myrina? Melisa. 
Myrina Melisa, Hew., l. c., t. iii., figs. 82, 83, ? (1869). 
This species also is unknown to me, except in Hewit- 
son’s collection ; the types were collected by the late Mr. 
Atkinson at Moulmein and Darjeeling,
