136 BUTTERFLIES. 



135. JuNONiA ATLiTES, Linnseus. 



A plains' rather than a hill butterfly, common in the Terai, rarer 

 in the outer low hot valleys. 



136. JuNONiA LEMONiAS, Linnjeus. 

 Occurs up to 5,000 feet, and is not rare. 



137. JuNONiA HiEETA, Fabricius. 



Occurs somewhat rarely at low elevations west of the Tista river, 

 but is very common at 1,500 feet to the east. 



138. JuNONiA OEiTHYiA, Linuseus. 



The commonest species of the genus occurring in Sikhim, and 

 is found from the level of the Terai up to 10,000 feet elevation. He 

 is a lively little fellow, loves paths and roads, up and down which 

 he continually flies. 



139. Neptis (Rahinda) hordonia, Cramer. 



A common species throughout the year at low elevations. It 

 is seasonally dimorphic, true iV. hordonia being the rains' form, 

 N. plariiosa, Moore, occurring in the dry-season. 



140. Neptis radha, Moore. 



A very rare species in Sikhim, and I have only caught it once 

 at about 4,000 feet elevation in October. Probably occurs through- 

 out the warm months. Mr. Dudgeon has captured it several times at 

 5,000 feet, and finds that it is extremely fond of pitching on the same 

 bush for several consecutive days. Its elevation extends to 7,000 

 and 8,000 feet, and he doubts its occurrence below 3,000 feet. 



141. Neptis miah, Moore. 



The males are very commonly met with sucking up the moisture 

 from the sand in the bedb of the hill streams at low elevations 

 throughout the warm months. Found also in Western China. 



142. Neptis ananta, Moore. 



Very local in Sikhim, where I have never seen it on the wing. 

 Mr. Elwes says it is found in the forests at 5,000 to 6,000 feet and 

 at lower levels. He took it on the road to Pashok above Lopchu in 

 June. Very common at 4,000 feet and upwards in Daling. It is 

 found also in Western China both typically and as a local race which 

 has been named var. chinensis by Leech. 



143. Neptis viraja, Moore. 



Very rare, occurs in the Terai and low valleys, probably through- 

 out the summer. 



144. Neptis zaida, Doubleday and Hewitson. 



Rare. Mr. Elwes took it in June and July in the forest above 

 Rangbi, at about 6,000 feet.
