Lepidoptera of Sikkim. 453 
only two bad specimens from Shanghai and one from 
Japan, is probably of this genus, and may be identical 
with TJ’. jhora, but fresh and perfect specimens are 
necessary to decide this point. 
485. Thanaos kali. 
Thanaos kali, de Nicé., J. A. 8. B., 1885, p. 128, t. ii., 
fig. 3. 
Rare at about 8 to 4000 ft. from April to October. 
486. Thanaos jhora. 
Thanaos jhora, de Nicé., l. c., p. 122, t. ii., fig. 4, 2. 
Both these species are found in the beds of the deep 
valleys below Darjeeling at about 3—4000 ft,, and appear 
not uncommon. I have also taken what I believe to be 
T. jhora at Shillong, in the Khasia hills, where it 
frequents damp spots near water at 4—5000 ft. The 
absence of the brand on the fore wing in the male 
distinguishes it from 7’. stigmata, to which it is otherwise 
very close. 
487. Cyclopides subvittatus. 
Cyclopides subvittatus, Moore, P. Z.8., 1878, p. 693. 
C. subradiatus, Moore, J. c., p. 692. 
A common species in the Tista and Rungit valleys up 
to 2000 ft. from April to October. I have also taken it 
in the Khasias at 8—4000 ft., and cannot distinguish 
that form which Moore names subradiatus from the 
Sikkim one. The size and the yellow mark on the fore 
wing above are both variable. The species also occurs 
in Bhotan and the Salween district. 
488. Halpe sikkima. (Pl. XI., fig. 3, 3). 
Halpe sikkima, Moore, P. Z. 8., 1882, p. 407. 
This species, which I first procured from my native 
collectors, and which was described with the Chumbi 
butterflies, proves to Le common at low elevations up to 
about 5000 ft. in Sikkim, and occurs from April to 
November. In one male, which I took near Mongpo, 
1200 ft., on May 28th, the spot in the cell is absent, and 
there are three instead of two near the apex of the wing. 
This may be a distinct species, so I give a figure of it
