168 BUTTERFLIES. 



433. GoNEPTERYX NEPALENSis, Doubleday. 



Mr. Moore records this species from Darjeeling, but I have not 

 seen any specimens from thence. It is probably the same as the 

 Eui'opean "Brimstone Butterfly," G. rhamni, Linnaeus. 



434. Apoeia soracta, Moore. 



Eecorded from Darjeelino^ by Mr. Moore, but confined as far as 

 I am aware to the Western Himalayas. 



435. Metapoeia agathon, Gray. 



Mr. Elwes records a single specimen obtained in 1883 by native 

 collectors fi-om the interior towards Bhutan, from whence Mr. Moore 

 recorded it in 1857. In 1892 Mr. F. A. Moller received a single 

 male from his Lepcha collectors, probably from the same locality. 



436. Metapoeia Harriets, de Niceville. 



A single pair was obtained by Mr. F. A. Moller's collectors with 

 the specimen of M. agathon, Gray, mentioned above. 



437. Mancipium dubernardi, Oberthiir. 



Eight or nine males were obtained on the Tibet frontier by a 

 native employed by Cajitain Harman, k.e. I have not seen the species, 

 and of recent years it does not seem to have been obtained. 



438. Mancipium canidia, Sparrman. 



The "Small Cabbage White" of India. Flies throughout the year 

 from 3,000 to 12,000 feet. 



439. Mancipium brassic^, Linnaeus. 



The "Large Cabbage White." Flies from March to December, 

 and from 1,000 to 12,000 feet. The Eastern Himalayan form has 

 been named ^^ Pieris'' nepalensis by Gray. 



440. Mancipium melete, M(^n(^tri^s. 



The " Green-veined White" of India. Occurs only in the interior, 

 and is very rare. 



441. Belenois mesentina, Cramer. 



A common butterfly of the plains, rare in the hills. Occurs 

 from April to October, and from 3,000 feet to the level of the Terai. 



442. HupiiiNA phrtxe, Fabricius. 



A common species in the low valleys and up to 5,000 feet. It is 

 subject to very great seasonal variability ; the form flying in the spring 

 is small and very pale, that in the rains is very large, dark, and 

 richly- coloured. 



443. HuPHiNA NADiNA, Lucas. 



Perhaps better known as S. nama, Moore. It is common at low 

 elevations from March to December. The spring or dry-season form 

 has been named amba by Wallace, and is much smaller and paler than
