ISBARTA. CALLAMESIA. 



277 



In Coll. B. M. is a specimen of /. pieridoides, H.-S., labelled Dar- 

 jiling, but as it is a Bornean species and an excellent mimic of 

 Idiopsis daos, which does not occur in Sikhim, and as the specimen 

 was bought at an auction, the locality is almost certainly wrong.
