Expanse: 6 6 1-56"— 1-72" ; $$ 1-63"— 1'65". 



Z. dumoides has only been taken in Manipur on Kabru, 8,400 feet. 



Z. intermedia is not uncommon in Manipur where it has been taken on 

 Kabru, 8,400 feet, and on Suroifui, 8,000 — 9,000 feet, in July. It occurs 

 rarely in the Naga Hills where a few specimens, 1 6 and 3 $ 5 ; were taken 

 at Kirbari, 7,000 feet, in July. 



Z. dwna, a closely allied species, is the prevailing form in the Naga Hills, 

 it extends into Manipur where it is very rare, only two males being taken 

 on Kabru in three years. 



Zephykus DUMA, Hewitson. 



Specimens from the Naga Hills agree exactly with specimens from Sikkim. 

 It is by no means uncommon and has been taken on several separate ranges 

 at elevations of 7,000 feet and over from June to September. As before 

 mentioned it is very rare in Manipur. 



Z. duma can always be separated from both Z. dumoides and Z. intermedia 

 by the green being of a more brassy shade and also from the former by the 

 much narrower terminal border, and from the latter by its larger size. On 

 the underside it is much paler and more silvery and on the hindwing the 

 basal area as far as the postmedian band is not conspicuously darker than 

 the area between the postmedian and subterminal bands, which is a very 

 marked feature in other two closely allied forms. 



Zephykus kabkua, n. sp. (PI. IV, Fig. 41, S)- 



Male. Upperside : both wings brassy green as in Z. dicma. Forewing : 

 costal margin near apex, apex and terminal margin narrowly black, very 

 narrow near the tornus. Hindwing : costal margin broadly and terminal 

 margin narrowly black ; a terminal narrow blue line on either side of the 

 tail, dorsal margin brown. Underside : pale silvery fawn colour. Forewing : 

 discocellulars marked with brown ; a post discal brown band reaching vein 

 2 ; a pale silvery broad subterminal band from costa to vein 2 broadest at 

 costa ; a terminal brown band divided by a marginal rather indistinct pale 

 silvery line. Hindwing: a brown line closing the cell often joined to the 

 median brown line at vein 4 ; a median brown line commencing at the costa 

 and continued as a straight line to vein 2 where it forms a " W" and re- 

 curves ending near the middle of the dorsal margin ; this band is sometimes 

 broken at veins 4 and 7 and the lower portion often appears to be in conti- 

 nuation of the discocellular brown line , a broad costmedian pale silvery 

 band ; a subterminal broad brown band irrorated outwardly with silvery 

 scales ; a terminal fine white line outwardly bordered by an anteciliary 

 brown line ; a black submarginal spot in interspace 2 ringed with orange ; 

 anal lobe black crowned with orange, which colour is extended for a short 

 distance along the dorsal margin and inwardly lined with silvery. Cilia 

 greyish-brown. Female. Upperside : brown. Forewing : three orange 

 spots on disc beyond the cell and in interspaces 2 and 3, the lower spot 

 rather indistinct. Hindwing: unmarked. Underside: very similar to 

 Z. duma $ but no pale markings near the base of interspace 7 or on the 

 discocellulars. 



Expanse : 6 6 1-33"— 1-67" ; $ 1-46". 



Many males were taken on Kabru peak, Manipur, 8,400 feet, in June and 

 July, and at Phesima Naga Hills at 7,000 feet, in July and August ; a single 

 female taken at Takahama, Naga Hills, 7,000 feet, in August. 



This form can at once be distinguished from Z. duma and Z. dumoides by its 

 very much smaller size and by the silvery fawn colour of the underside 

 which entirely lacks on the hindwing any mark in interspace 7, nearly
