140 BUTTERFLIES. 



169. Aegynnis (Brenthis) pales, Wiener Verzeichniss. 



Mr. Elwes had three bad specimens brought him by natives from 

 Chumbi and Bhutan, where it, doubtless, occurs at high elevations. I 

 have never seen an example of this species from Sikhim. 



170. DiCHORRAGIA NESIMACHUS, Boiscluval. 



This species has a wide range, from Kulu, Kumaon, Nepal, Sikhim, 

 Bhutan, Assam, Burmah, the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, 

 the Philippine Isles, Celebes, to China and Japan. In Sikhim it occurs 

 somewhat rarely throughout the year at low elevations. Mr. Grose 

 Smith has recently described an allied species from Western China as 

 D. ncsseus. 



171. Calinaga BUDDHA, Mooro. 



One of the rarest of the Sikhim butterflies, and has never, I believe, 

 been caught by a European in that region. Mr. A. Grahame Young 

 has, however, captured seven himself in the Western Himalayas ; and 

 seen at least fifty on the wing. It appears to be single-brooded and 

 to occur in the sjDring in native Sikhim. 



172. Penthema lisarda. Double day. 



Occurs in thick forest. Major J. F. Malcolm Fawcett has taken 

 it at 2,000 feet at Singla in May, and Mr. Dudgeon at 1,500 feet in 

 Daling during May and June commonly. It is single-brooded. I 

 possess specimens from Upper Burmah. 



173. Neurosigma doubledaii, Westwood. 



Rare in Sikhim and Bhutan at low elevations, and is apparently 

 double-brooded, occurring in April and May and again in October. 

 The species is better known perhaps as iV. siva, Westwood. 



174. Lebadea ismene, Doubleday and Hewitson. 



Not rare up to the 3,000 feet throughout the warm weather. 



175. LiMENiTis danava, Moore. 



The male is rather rare, but is found from April to October from 

 1,500 to 7,000 feet. The female is excessively scarce. It occurs also 

 in Western and Central China. 



176. LiMENiTis DARAXA, Doublcday and Hewitson. 



Occurs from 1,000 to 8,000 feet, and throughout the warm months. 

 The female is very rare, and does not differ from the male except in 

 the green macular band on the upperside of both wings being somewhat 

 broader, and the submarginal series of oval black spots (especially 

 those on the hindwing) being more prominent. Found also in 

 Sumatra. 



177. LiMENiTis ZAYLA, Doubleday and Hewitson. 



Occurs not uncommonly in dense forests at 6,000 to 8,000 feet 

 from June to August. It swarms on the Labah range in Daling.
