126 BUTTEEFUES. 



(Z. j'alaurukc, de Niceville) to constitute a local race. Mr. Leech 

 records Z. jalaurida from "Western China. 



63. Lethe (ZoiDhoessa) moelleri, Elwes. 



Far rarer than L. elwcsi, Moore. Occurs on the Singalela range 

 from 9,000 to 11,000 feet in July. 



64. Blanaida bhadra, Moore. 



This species is usually placed in the genus Neope, Moore, 

 which is preoccupied through Neopus, a genus of birds. B. bhadra 

 occurs in the hot low valleys from 1,000 to 4,000 feet from May to 

 December. It flies through dense bamboo jungle, on which its larva 

 feeds. 



6o. Blanaida pulaha, Moore. 



Occurs on the Singalela range, 9,000 to 11,000 feet, in July and 

 August, rather commonly. Mr. Leech has described a local race from 

 Central China as '^ Neope pulaha, var. ramosa. 



66. Patala yamoides, Moore. 



Better known as Zophoessa yama^ Moore, which Mr. Moore now 

 restricts to the Western Himalayas. It is rare in Sikhim, and is 

 found only in the interior at Tendong, 6,00d to 7,000 feet, in June 

 and July. In Baling in suitable places it is perhaps the commonest 

 butterfly in May, swarming at 6,000 feet ; it also occurs in Bhutan. 

 Mr. Leech has described a local race of "iV^eojoe" yama as var. &erka 

 from Western and Central China. 



67. Orinoma damaeis, Doubleday. 



Rare. I have taken it twice only, once in the bed of a " jhora" 

 or hill-stream, once in forest. It occurs from 2,000 to 6,000 feet. 



68. Rhaphicera satricus, Doubleday. 



Not very common. Found in forests at 6,000 to 8,000 feet. It 

 occurs also in Western China. 



69. Rhaphicera MOOREr, Butler. 



In Sikhim it occurs only in the interior, from 9,000 to 11,000 

 feet, in July. 



70. Chonala masoni, Elwes. 



Until recently, this butterfly has always been placed in the genus 

 Lethe. It is found only far in the interior at great elevations, and in 

 Bhutan, and is rare. 



71. AULOCERA BHAHMINOiDES, Moore. 



This is the Sikhim form of A. brahninus, Blanchard. It occurs 

 at high elevations in the interior only.
