440 Mr. H. J. Elwes’ catalogue of the 
fore wing being much narrower, and the pale costal 
patch on the hind wing much more restricted. The 
female, however, is much more like the male than in 
the case of harisa. 
445. Choaspes vasutana. 
Ismene vasutana, Moore, P. Z.8., 1865, p. 782. 
Rare at the same elevations and seasons as the last 
two. The male in three cases out of five has on the upper 
side indications of the two glossy spots on the fore wing 
which are usually seen in the female, though some have 
only one, and all of my specimens show them on the under 
side. My only female specimen has the inner half of the 
wings glossed with bright, steely, greyish blue-green, as 
in harisa. The thorax is covered with hairs of the same 
colour, but de Nicéville says that in his specimens the 
upper side of both wings is clothed with rich orange 
setee, without any trace of bluish green. If. he has 
correctly identified his specimens the female must there- 
fore be dimorphic. 
446. Choaspes amara. 
Ismene amara, Moore, P. Z. §., 1865, p. 783. 
Found up to 3000 ft. during the summer months. I 
have’not seen the female, which is described by Moore 
as like the male. 
447. Ismene edipodea. 
Ismene edipodea, Swains., Zool. Il., i., t. 16, 1820—1. 
Rare in Sikkim, where it occurs with the previous 
species at low elevations. 1 have two pairs of this 
species from Hocking’s Kangra collection. The male 
from Sikkim differs from these in having the costal 
margin of the hind wing above distinctly white. The 
black velvety sexual patch is very distinct, whereas in 
the next species it is faint. This species was described 
from Sumatra, but I have not been able to compare it 
with specimens from that country. 
448. Ismene jaina. 
Ismene jaina, Moore, P. Z.S., 1865, p. 782. 
A larger insect than the last, and, like it, rare in the
