BUTTERFLIES COLLECTED IN THE TAVOY DISTRICT. 133 
Camena creusa culta, DeN. 
Males taken very sparingly at Pagaye, 600’, during December, but no 
females were caught. 
Camena ictoides, El. 
A few males only taken on Pagaye hill, 600’ in Decomber. Those speci- 
mens are very like Camena crethus, DeN., which was described from Java 
and Sumatra but the tuft of orange coloured hairs attached to the inner 
margin of the forewings, on the underside, is small while in C. creusa it is 
large. Also the prominent orange band at the extreme base of the costa in 
C. creusa is wanting in these. It is also very near to C. carmentalis, DeN.., 
on the upperside. 
Ops eta, DeN. 
A few males and several females were taken at the foot of Sabataung and 
also at Wagon, 1,000’ during December 1919. It appears to be very local 
and was not seen anywhere else. It comes to the flowers of a species 
of Loranthus in company with Dacalana vidura burmana, Moore, and was 
fairly plentiful at Wagon, close to the P, W. D. inspection bungalow. 
Ops (Britomartis) cleoboides, El. 
A male and two females taken; the male on Pagaye hill, 600’. in Sep- 
tember, one female on Sinbo-Sinma, 4,000’, in October, and the other on 
Kalataung, 1,500’, in December. 
Ops (Bullis) valentia, Sw. 
A single male taken on Kalataung, 1500’, in December 1919. 
Tajuria longinus, Fab. 
Several specimens of both sexes were secured on Sabataung, 300’, 
during December 1919. These are larger and more strongly marked than 
is usual. 
Tajuria tyro, DeN. 
A pair only taken; the male at Marmagan and the female on Kala- 
taung in December. 
Tajuria mantra, Felder. 
Of this rare species I secured two males and one female on Pagaye hill, 
600’, in January 1920. 
Hypolycaena erylus, God. 
An extremely common butterfly, found at all elevations, throughout 
the district. 
Chliaria othona, Hew. 
Two males taken at Pagaye in April 1917. 
Chliaria merquia, Doh. 
A pair taken on Pagaye hill, 600’ ; the male in April and the female in May. 
Thamala miniata, Moore. 
Males pentiful but females are scarce. Numerous males were taken on 
Pagaye and Penaichaung hills, 500’ to 600’,during December and January 
1919-20, but no females were seen there. The few females taken were 
caught on Kalataung, 1,500’, on 21st and 22nd December 1919. A few 
males were also taken here and at Kambauk and Yeawing. They are 
generally found in company with Rapala xenephon intermedia, Std., to 
which they hear a good resemblance. 
This butterfly was most plentiful on Penaichaung where I caught 
over 25 specimens in a single day. 
Sithon nedymond, Cramer. 
A rare species and met with very sparingly. It is probably found on 
all the hill-tops as I have specimens from Pagaye, Yeawing, Maungmagan 
and Kalataung and is on the wing from October to May.
