NAG A HILLS BUTTERFLIES. 123 



NiPHANDA CYMBIA, de N. 



Decidedly a rare species in Manipur. Two males were taken at 

 Sebong in February and March and three females on the Irang Pdver 

 in February. 



Orihomiella poniis, Elvves, 



Nine males taken in Northern Manipur Hills at 4,000-6,000 ft. in 

 March and April and three females on Kabru, 8,400 ft. in April, May 

 and June. 



NaOADUBA BHtJTEA, de N. 



According to Bingham the female is undescribed. 



Female. Upperstde : Forewing : costal and terminal margin broadly 

 black ; the remainder of the wing lilac grey shot with brilliant light blue in 

 certain lights. Hindwing lilac grey ; termen narrowly darker ; tornal spot 

 on underside faintly showing through. Underside slightly paler than in 

 male ; otherwise similar. 



Sub-family — Poritiince. 



PoKiTiA ERYCiNoiDES, Felder. 



Many males and four females taken at Sebong, Manipur, in February and 

 March, June, October and November, and a single male at Saitu in the 

 Manipur Valley. They in no way differ from specimens I have from 

 Maymyo, Burma. 



S ub-f amily — Theclince . 



Genus Zbphykxjs, Dalman. 



Some of the forms of this genus are very hard to identify and I propose 

 giving a key which I hope will be of some use, in determining doubtful 

 forms. I have included all the known forms from within Indian limits so as 

 to make the key as complete as possible. A portion of the key relating to 

 the 7j, icana — Z. dolievty and Z. mandara, groups " C &D " has been copied 

 from de Niceville's key for want of sufficient material. Z. letlia has not been 

 included as I have never seen this species and know it only by Watson's 

 figure and description.
