BUTTERFLIES. 163 



384. Catapcecilma elegans, Druce. 



Common in the low valleys and vip to 3,000 feet, and has been 

 taken in March, April, and October. 



385. Catapcecilma delicatum, de Niceville. 



Occurs only in Sikhim, and is very i-are. It has been taken in 

 April and May. 



386. Biduajjda melisa, Hewitson. 



Originally described from Darjeeling and Maulmain. Mr. G. C. 

 Dudgeon obtained a female in August in Bhutan. It has the costal 

 margin of the hiudwing on the upperside broadly orange-coloured 

 like the male. 



387. BiDUANDA CYAEA, Ilewitson. 



First described from Darjeeling and awaits rediscovery, as the . 

 type specimen is j^robably unique. 



388. LoxuRA ATYMNUS, Cramer. 



Common almost throughout the year in the low valleys, and is 

 found as high as 5,000 feet. 



389. Yasoda tbipunctata, Hewitson. 



Occurs from the Terai up to 3,000 feet, from April to November. 

 It is much rarer than Loxura atynums, Cramer, and only comes to hand 

 singly. Like that species it is seasonally dimorphic. 



390. Lehera eeyx, Linnajus. 



Rare ; the native collectors bring in a specimen now and again. 

 It probably occurs at low elevations only. 



391. Araotes lapithis, Moore. 



I possess a single male from the late L. Mandelli's collection 

 which probably came from Sikhim. 



392. Deudorix epijarbas, Moore. 



Occurs commonly at low elevations throughout the year. The 

 larva feeds on the fruit of the pomegranate and horse-chestnut. 



393. ZiNASPA distorta, de Niceville. 



A very rare species, the male the rarer of the two sexes. It has 

 been taken in Sikhim in March, May, July, and August at low 

 elevations. It is also found in Western China. 



394. Rapala tara, de Nicc^ville. 



Mr. G. C. Dudgeon took a single specimen of this species iu 

 Bhutan at 1,500 feet in April ; it is common in the Khasi Hills. 



395. Rapala buxaria, de Niceville. 



Has been taken at Tonglo, Sikhim, at 10,000 feet, and else- 

 where. Its range is probably from 4,000 feet upwards ; it certainly
