160 BUTTERFLIES. 



352. MoTA MASSYLA, Hewitson. 



Mr. Otto MoUer obtained one female from Bhutan in May ; in 

 the Khasi Hills it has been obtained in fair numbers by Mr. Hamil- 

 ton's native collectors. It occurs also in Upper Burmah. 



353. Aphn^us syama, Horsfield. 



Very common at low elevations throughout the year. Found in 

 Western and Central China. 



354. Aphn^us lohita, Horsfield. 



Quite as common as A. syama, Horsfield, occurring at the same 

 places and seasons. Mr. Elwes records this species from Sikhim under 

 its synonymic name, A. himalai/anus, Mooi'e. It is found also in 

 Western and Central China. 



355. Aphn^us ictis, Hewitson. 



Mr. Elwes records this species from Sikhim under the name of 

 A. elima, Moore. As I do not consider that species to differ from 

 A. ictis, I have used the latter name, as it is the older. A, luiiuli/era, 

 Moore, was described from Darjeeling. I do not consider it to be 

 specifically distinct from A. ictis. A. ictis is a fairly common species 

 in Sikhim, occurring at low elevations. 



356. Aphn-sus eukma, de Niceville. 



The type of this species still remains unique. 



357. Aphn^us nipalicus, Moore. 



Described by Mr. Moore from Nepal and Sikhim, but unknown 

 to me. 



358. Aphn^us sani, de Nicdville. 



Occurs rarely in Sikhim and Bhutan, and flies in April, May, 

 July, and October. 



359. Aphn^us euk>iini, de Niceville. 



Rare in Sikhim, where it has been taken in May. 



360. Tajuria indra, Moore. 



Recorded by Elwes from Sikhim as " Siihon " jalindra, Horsfield, 

 desci'ibed from Java, which is the parent species. T. indra is rare in 

 Sikhim, and occurs at low elevations from September to November. 



361. Tajuria maculatus, Hewitson. 



Very rare, and occurs in May and June It has never been taken 

 in Sikhim except by native collectors. Mr. Harold S. Ferguson 

 records it from the hills of Travaucore, at Ponmudi, 1,00U feet. 

 Occurs also at Sibsagar in Upper Assam, and in the Khasi 

 Hills. It is not uncommon to the east of the Tistaat 1,500 and again 

 at 6,000 feet in May, where the varietal form figured in " The Butter- 

 flies of India, Burmah and Ceylon" is also faii'ly plentiful.
