BUTTERFLIES. 159 



/. androcles, Doubleday and Hewitson. It is a common species from 

 6,000 to 9,000 feet, and flies throughout the warm months and as late 

 as December. It is found also in Western China. 



345. Ilekda beahma, Moore. 



This is, in my opinion, one of the most lovely butterflies 

 in the world, and the colouring of the upperside of the male is unique. 

 Luckily in Sikhim it is a common species, especially so at an elevation 

 of about 4,000 feet, but it is found from 3,000 to 6,000 feet, and from 

 February to December. It occurs also in Kumaon, the Naga Hills, and 

 at Bernardmyo and Momeit in Upper Burmah, and again in Western 

 China, 



346. Camena cippus, Fabricius. 



Mr. Dudgeon has two males from Daling taken in August, and it 

 has been found near Buxa in Bhutan. Recently Messrs. E. H. 

 Aitken and J. Davidson have taken it quite commonly at Karwar, North 

 Kanara, in the Bombay Presidency. Lieutenant E. Stokes Roberts, r.e., 

 has taken it at Kolar in the Nilgiri hills in November. I have caught 

 it in North-East Sumatra. It has been recorded from Borneo. It is 

 an erratic species and appears in the most unexpected places. 



347. Camena ctesia, Hewitson. 



The males are quite common at low elevations from April to 

 October. Mr. Elwes has figured a female taken as high as 6,000 feet. 

 I possess another from the Khasi Hills received from the Revd. Walter 

 A. Hamilton, which are the only specimens of that sex known to me. 

 It is also found in Western China. 



348. Camena deva, Moore. 



Rare in Sikhim. Mr. Otto Moller possessed three males and 

 four females taken in August and November. The male is found in 

 the Terai and low valleys, but the female occm-s rather plentifully on 

 Rissoom in Daling at 6,000 feet. 



349. Camena icetas, Hewitson. 



Mr. A. V, Knyvett obtained three male specimens of this species 

 near Darjeelincj, and Mr. Dudgeon has two males from Rhenok, Sikliim, 

 6,000 feet, taken in May. It is common in the Western Himalayas, 

 and is found in Upper Burmah, and in Western and Central China 

 also. The lolaiis contractus of Leech is a synonjnn of this species. 



350. Camena cotys, Hewitson. 



Rare in Sikhim, and has been taken in the Rungeet Valley in May 

 and August. 



351. Maneca bhotea, Moore. 



Very rare; has been taken on the Observatory Hill, 7,500 feet, m 

 the station of Darjeeling, by Mr. A. V. Knyvett in May. It occurs 

 also at Senchal in the same month.
