BUTTERFLIES. 139 



has recently been obtained in the rains at Bankipur in Behar, by 

 Mr. S. Robson. 



159. PSEUDEEGOLIS WEDAH, KoUar. 



Not uncommon at the level of the Terai to about 6,000 feet, from 

 March to November. In the Western Himalayas this species occurs 

 almost entirely in the beds of hill streams, in Sikhim it is found there 

 commonly, less frequently in forests. In Mussoorie the larva feeds on 

 Dehregeasia hicolor^ Wedd. It is found also in Western and Central 

 China. 



160. Stibochiona nicea, Gray. 



Occurs throughout the warm months at low elevations. It is 

 found also in Western China. 



161. Hypolimnas bolina, Linnajus. 



A low-level butterfly occurring nearly all the year round com- 

 monly. It is found in Western China. 



162. Hypolimnas misippus, Linnteus. 



Very rare in Sikhim. The only females from thence that I have 

 seen have been of the first form (named diocippus by Cramer). 



163. Aegynnis nipiie, Linn?eus. 



Occurs almost in every month in the year, most usually at an 

 elevation of 4,000 feet. I have bred the larva at Tukvar, where it 

 was found feeding on wild violets amongst the tea bushes. 



164. Argynnis ghildeeni. Gray. 



Occurs commonly at Tonglo at 9,000 to 12,000 feet, about mid- 

 summer. It is found also in the Khasi Hills, and in Western, Central 

 and Eastern China. 



165. Argynnis latona, Linnaeus. 



Very common in the interior, and has been taken as low as 5,000 

 feet in the station of Darjeeling during the winter. It occurs all along 

 the road from Kalimpong to Pedong, and is found also in Western 

 China. 



166. Argynnis gemmata, Butler. 



Apparently very common in July at high elevations in native 

 Sikhim. Mr. Elwes has seen it on the high Chola Range. 



167. Argynnis (Brenthis) claea, Blanchard. 



Mr. J. Claude AVhite obtained a single specimen at a high eleva- 

 tion in native Sikhim in 1891. 



168. Argynnis (Brenthis) altissima, Elwes. 



Very rare ; has only, I believe, been obtained on two occasions by 

 Mr. Elwes' native collectors in native Sikhim at an even higher eleva- 

 tion than that at which A. gemmata is found.
