Adolias epiona (Gray), Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. v. 
Frequents oak-forests, at altitudes of 6000 to 8000 feet, in the 
Himalayas during the rainy season, July and August. It flies very 
swiftly over the tops of the trees, with a skimming flight like a Swal- 
low. Two or three may be seen chasing one another in and out of 
the shade, among the branches of the trees. They pitch abruptly, 
often with expanded wings, basking in the sunlight, until some pass- 
ing insect—another Adolias or a Neptis floating near—tempts the 
quarrelsome insect to dash off, buffet the passer-by, and, after a rapid 
skim, return to pitch again suddenly near its former resting-place, 
and bask again. It soon gets battered, and is difficult to capture. 
76. NyMPHALIS ATHAMAS, Drury, Ill. i. t. 2. ses Pers 
An insect of extremely rapid flight, flashing like lightning up 
and down rocky-bedded streams in Himalayan glens, 3000 to 5000 
feet. It pitches on rocks in mid-stream, and flashes off again if ap- 
"proached. It is not common, and very difficult to capture ; yet one 
very hot day in June I saw seven individuals sitting with closed wings 
motionless on a foul spot (by the damp sandy margin of a stream), 
so close together that I might have put my hat on all of them. Ex- 
cept on that occasion, I have never seen more than one at a time. 
SATYRIDZ. 
77. Desis EUROPA, Fabr. (Cram. Pap. t. 313. f. E, F, d; t. 79. 
f. C, D, 2). 
A common species, obtained at Kussowlie (6000 feet), frequenting 
grassy slopes in the shade or near hedges ; constantly pitching under 
bushes or at roots of trees, and lying perdu. 
78. Desis ROHRIA (Fabr.). 
Satyrus isana, Kollar, Hiigel’s Kaschmir, t. 16. f. 3, 4, p. 448. 
This frequents another region, 200 miles from Kussowlie, in 
damp glens, where tall rocks cast a shadow all day : this insect affects 
the shade, pitched on the rocks or at their foot, or in the rank vege- 
tation near, never seeking the broad sunshine. 
79. DEBIS VERMA. 
Satyrus verma, Kollar, Hiigel’s Kaschmir, t. 16. f. 1, 2, p. 447. 
Frequents the same region as Debis rohria, but is more autumnal, 
and affects trees in preference to rocks, pitching on the trunks of 
rhododendrons and oaks.
