BUTTERFLIES. 127 



72. AuLOCEEA cnuMBicA, Moore. 



This is a recently described species from the " Chumbi Valley, 

 Sikhim-Tibet." 



73. AuLOCEEA LOHA, Doherty. 



In Sikhim Mr. Elwes took this species on the Singalela range at 

 from 10,000 to 12,000 feet in July. It occurs also in Kumaon and 

 Western China. 



74. AuLOCERA PADMA, Kollar. 



Mr. Moore does not record this species in his " Lepidoptera 

 Indica " from Sikhim, but only from the Western Himalayas. 

 I believe it does occur in Sikhim, though I possess no specimen from 

 thence. It is found actually in the station of Darjeeling (all the 

 other species of the genus are only found in the interior), Mr. Elwes 

 and I having both seen a specimen on the north side of Birch Hill. 

 There is one specimen from Sikhim in Mr. Otto Muller's collection. 

 It occurs also in Bhutan and in Western China. 



75. AuLOCERA SARASWATi, Kollar, 



Restricted to the Western Himalayas by Mr. Moore. It certainly 

 occurs far in the interior of Sikhim also; many specimens from 

 thence have passed through my hands. 



76. Pargeneis sikkdiensis, Staudinger. 



This butterfly has hitherto been recorded from India as (Eneis 

 pumihis, Felder. Mr. Elwes (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1893, page 459) 

 says that it " is unquestionably an Aulocora.''^ However, Mr. Moore 

 has made a new genus for it, which may perhaps stand, as P. jmmilus, 

 and its numerous named forms difiEer greatly in fades from the 

 butterflies hitherto placed in Aidoccra. P. sikkimcmis is excessively 

 rare, and I believe has only been obtained twice by some plant 

 collectors sent into the Chumbi valley by Messrs. J. Gammie and 

 H. J. Elwes in 1881 and 1884. 



77. YpTiiiMA BALDUS, Fabricius. 



Hitherto known from India as F. philomela, Johanssen. It is 

 common in Sikhim at low elevations. The ocellated, wet-season 

 form is true Y. hahhs ; the dry-season form is Y. marshallU, Butler. 



78. Yi'TiiiMA METHORA, Hcwitson. 



The rainy-season form of this species has alone been named. It 

 is very rare in Sikhim, occurring probably at rather low elevations at 

 Pashok and in the interior. Mr. Dudgeon has captured it at 3,000 feet. 



79. Ypthima sakra, Moore. 



The commonest species of the genus occurring in Sikhim, found 

 everywhere from 2,000 to 8,000 feet elevation. It has only one 

 (ocellated) form. Mr. Leech records it from Western China.
