158 BUTTERFLIES. 



has been procured since the type was caught, I think it more than 

 probable that it is an aberration or "sport" only of the next species. 



335. Zephyrus duma, Hewitson. 



Occurs in forests at 6,000 to 8,000 feet from June to August. 

 The male is rather common, the female very rare. 



336. Zephyrus ataxus, Doubleday and Hewitson. 



Mr. Moore has recorded this species from Darjeeling, but I have 

 never seen a specimen from thence. It occurs in the Westex'n Hima- 

 layas and Western China, and is very rare there. 



337. Zephyrus syla, Kollar. 



Very rare in Sikhim (common in the "Western Himalayas), and 

 occurs from 8,000 to 10,000 feet elevation in the rains. 



338. Zephyrus pavo, de Niceville. 



Excessively rare. I described the species from a single example 

 taken near Buxa in Bhutan. Mr. W. Doherty obtained another 

 specimen at Margherita in Upper Assam, 



339. Chrysopeanus phl^as, Linn.Teus. 



Recorded by Mr. Moore from Darjeeling (which is certainly 

 incorrect) and Bhutan. It is not improbable that this species does 

 occur at high elevations in the interior, but, of recent years at any 

 rate, no collector has caught it in Sikhim, Bhutan, or Western China. 



340. Ilerda SENA, Kollar. 



Recorded by Mr. Moore from Darjeeling, but this is surely 

 an error. It may perhaps occur in the interior of native Sikhim. 

 It is a very common species in the Western Himalayas. 



341. Ilerda epicles, Godart. 



The commonest species of the genus in Sikhim, and found 

 throughout the year at low elevations. The " Thecla '' phoenicoparyphiis 

 of Holland, described from Hainan island off the China coast, is, as 

 it deserves to be from the portentous length of its name, a synonym 

 of this species. It occurs in Western China also. 



342. Ilerda moorei, Hewitson. 



Occurs at considerable elevations in native Sikhim, and has 

 been recorded also from Bhutan under the name of I. tamu, Kollar. 



343. Ilerda androcles, Doubleday and Hewitson. 



Recorded by Mr. Moore from Darjeeling, but I think incorrectly. 

 It is found in the Western Himalayas from Cashmere to Kumaon, and 

 again iu the Khasi Hills. 



344. Ilerda vieidipunctata, de Niceville. 



This species is confined in India (as far as I know) to Kumaon and 

 Sikhim. It has been recorded in error from Sikhim by Mr, Elwes as
