Lepidoptera collected in the Shan States. 521 



41. Cethosia cyane. 



A common species from 3000— 5000 ft. The females 

 emerge about three weeks after the males. 



42. Cethosia hiblis. 



As common a species as the last, but does not extend 

 to quite the same elevation. 



43. Cynthia erota. 



An abundant species ; generally found on bushes over- 

 hanging water, and fond of settling on damp sand. The 

 females are much more rarely seen. 



44. Sephisa chandra. 



Occurs rarely at elevations of 3000 ft. I have never 

 taken the female. 



45. Dilipa morgiana. 



I have two males taken by a soldier at Fort Stedman 

 in July. 



46. Apatura pary satis. 



Not uncommon at 1000 ft., but I have never seen it 

 above 3000 ft. 



47. Hestina nama. 



Very common all the year round. In the cold weather 

 I have found it commonly on the tops of the limestone 

 outcrops, which are so common in many places in the 

 Shan States, and which rise to a height of 500 or 600 ft. 

 above the surrounding plain. I have often observed 

 that insects accumulate <^ the tops of hills, frequently 

 on the extreme summits, more especially in the cold 

 weather, when at lower elevations they are scarce or 

 absent. 



48. Herona marathus. 



One specimen in August at Fort Stedman. 



49. Precis iphita. 

 One of the most abundant butterflies, and found 

 almost everywhere. 



50. Junonia asterie. 



51. Junonia almana. 



Occur not uncommonly, but cannot be said to be 

 abundant.
