310. Rapala scintilla, DeN. 
An uncommon species, found sparingly on Pagaye hill, 600’, during the 
latter part of January. No females were secured. 
311. Rapala varuna, Hors. 
Common on the hills during December and January. Numerous speci- 
mens of both sexes were taken at Pagaye, Wagon, Sabataung and Kambauk. 
312. Rapala subguttata, El. Q No. XV in plate. 
This appears to be a very local butterfly and has so far been found only 
on the top of Pagaye hill, 600’. It flies during December and January and 
is not to be seen for the rest of the year. In all over twenty males have been 
taken within the last three years, all during December and January. Only 
one female has been secured, and it was taken on 30th December 1917. | As 
the female is up to the present unknown, I give a description of the same. 
Female :—Expanse 1-3 inches. 
Upperside: Both wings brown with a purple gloss, much as in the same 
sex of Rapala petosiris, Hew. 
Underside : Both wings brown with a pale purple tinge, the outer margins 
of both wings and the inner margin of forewing somewhat ochreous. 
Forewing: A large oval spot in the cell, about its middle, a spot at the 
end of the cell with two spots just beyond separated by the middle discoidal 
nervule, two similar spots in the same interspaces, about midway between 
the apex of cell and outer margin ; two round spots on the disc, on each side 
of the median nervule, all these spots are dark brown with pale borders. 
Hindwing : With three basal spots, the one near the costa about 
twice as large as either of the other two, alarge spot below the costa 
about the middle of the margin; a very large spot at bend of cell ; a series 
of six spots across the disc, placed in pairs, commencing on the costa and 
ending on abdominal margin, all these spots dark brown with light 
borders. The discal series have light brown centres in addition. A small 
tail from the tip of the first median nervule, black tipped with white; 
anal lobe black, crowned with yellow ; a black spot on margin in the first 
median interspace, broadly crowned with yellow, a similar spot in the 
interspace below, sprinkled with grey scales, a short black streak placed 
along the abdominal margin, bordered with grey. Thorax and abdomen 
above dark brown, below pale ochreous. 
313. Rapala petosiris, Hew. 
A very common butterfly, found all over the district in heavy jungle. 
314. Rapala suffasa, Moore. 
Fairly plentiful on the hills from November to May. Several specimens 
of both sexes were taken at Pagaye, Sabataung and Wagon during Decem- 
ber and January. 
315. Rapala jarbas, Fab. 
Exceedingly common everywhere; most plentiful during December and 
January, females are rather scarce. 
316. Rapala xenophon intermedia, Std. 
Males plentiful on hill tops from November to January but females are 
scarce. This butterfly varies much on the undersides from pale yellow to dark 
brown. 
817. Dacalana vidura burmana, Moore. 
An uncommon species and difficult to get in good condition. Taken 
sparingly at Pagaye, Sabataung, Kambauk and Wagon during December 
and January. It feeds on the flowers of a species of Loranthus and was 
rather plentiful at Wagon, 1,000’, during the latter part of December 1919. 
Females were more numerous.
