142 BUTTERFLIES. 



187. Atuyma cama, Moore. 



Males common, females rare. Found at the same time of the 

 year and at the same elevation as the two preceding species. 



188. Athyma inara, Doubleday and Ilewitson. 



A. inarina, Butler, may be dropped, that species probably being 

 a fictitious one. A. inara is common in Sikhim at low elevations all 

 through the summer. 



189. Abrota mirus, Fabricius. 



Whether this species (= A. ganga, Moore) is really distinct from 

 the next cannot, I fear, be conclusively determined until one or the 

 other or both have been bred. In the male of A. mints the four 

 black bands on the upperside of the hindwing are at equal distances 

 apart. Dr. J. Gr. Pilcher once had brought to him a pair of this species 

 ■which had been caught in copula. The female was olive-green on the 

 upperside. Both sexes are much rarer than A. jumna, Moore. 



190. Abrota jumna, Moore. 



In this species the male has the two median black bands on 

 the upperside of the hindwing placed close together, the two outer 

 bands far removed from them. Its female has the bands _ yellowish 

 on the upperside. Both species occur together in Sikhim at low 

 elevations from May to August, are by no means common, and appear 

 to be confined to Sikhim. The only other known species in the 

 genus is A. pratti, Leech, from Western China. 



191. Euthalia (Symphasdra) N.us, Forster. 



A butterfly found commonly in the plains, but very rarely in 

 the hills. It occurs very sparingly in Sikhim, but Mr. G. C. Dudgeon 

 has taken it on the outer spurs in Daling facing the Western Duars. 



192. EuTHALiA (Lexias) dietea, Fabricius. 



Has been recorded from Nepal, and is common in Bhutan, but 

 is very rare in Sikhim, which lies between the two. ^^ Sgrnplmdra''^ 

 Masiana, recently described by Colonel Swiuhoe from the Khasi Hills, 

 is an inconstant varietal form only of E. dirtea. 



193. EuTHALiA (Dophla) IVA, Moore. 



This species was originally described from Sikhim. No specimen 

 has of recent years been obtained in that well- worked region, except 

 a single example in Mr. Dudgeon's collection from Daling, 6,000 feet, 

 taken in August. I have lately purchased a pair from Manipur. 



194:. EuTHALiA (Dophla) nara, Moore. 



This species was described from a female, its male being sub- 

 sequently described as "^r/o&s" anyte by Hewitson. It is very 

 rare in Sikhim, and is probably found only in the heavy forests. It
