Lepidoptera of Sikkim. 407 
352. Amblypodia (Acesina) paraganeesa. 
Amblypodia paraganeesa, de Nicé., J. A. S.B., 1882, 
p- 63. 
A. ganeesa, Hew., Cat. Lye. B.M., t. vii., fig. 72 (nec 
Moore). 
Not so rare as the last, at the same elevation and 
season. It is very distinct from ganeesa, and occurs 
also in the Khasia hills. 
PAPILIONIDA. 
PIERINAE. 
358. Pontia xiphia. 
Papilio xiphia, Fabr., Sp. Ins., ii., p. 48 (1781). 
P. nina, Fabr., Ent. Syst., iii., 1, p. 194 (1793). 
Not common in Sikkim, but I have taken it below 
Mongpo in June, and it occurs up to 4 or 5000 ft. from 
April to October. 
054. Delias pasithoe. 
Papilio pasithoe, Linn., Syst. Nat., ii., p. 755 (1767). 
Not uncommon up to about 8000 ft. from April to 
December. 
305. Deltas pyramus. 
Thyca pyramus, Wall., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1867, 
p. 347. 
Pieris thisbe, Gray, Lep. Nepal, p. 8, t. vii., f. 1, 3; 
P. thisbe, 3, Boisd., Sp. Gen., p. 449, @. 
Wallace separates the Indian form from the Chinese 
species (thysbe, Cram.), but I have been unable to make 
a comparison on account of the rarity of Chinese insects, 
which seem to come to Hurope much less frequently 
than they did formerly. Itis an extraordinary thing that, 
as far as I know, no modern entomologist has seriously 
collected the insects of South China, which would have 
the greatest scientific value, as the types described by 
old authors are now often difficult to identify. 
356. Delias eucharis. 
Papilio eucharis, Drury, Ins., ii., t. x., f. 5, 6; Cram., 
201, B, c, 202, c (nec Fab.). 
Occurs at low elevations from April to October, but 
an insect of the plains rather than the hills.
