ArHOPALA PAKAMtJTA, De N. 



Rare in Manipur. A few specimens taken at low elevations in February 

 and April and a female at Imphal in July. 



Arhopala pebimuta, Moore. 



Common in Manipur at low elevations in the cold weather ; a pair also 

 taken at Sebong in July. 



Arhopala abereai^s, De N. 



Three males and two females taken at Sebong, Manipur, in January and 

 February ; and two males and numerous females taken at the same place in 

 July. 



Arhopala birmana, Moore. 



Three males (dry-season-form) taken at Sebong, Manipur, in February and 

 at April and four males and numerous females of the wet-season-foim taken 

 at the same place in July. 



? Arhopala ariel, Doherty. 



A very large series of both sexes of an Arhopala which may be ariel were 

 taken at Sebong from November to April. They differ from both Elwes' and 

 Bethune-Baker's figures in having the black border on both wings not quite 

 so broad. The underside is exactly similar to that of A. birmana. 



Arhopala zephybexta, Dohertjf. 



A single male taken at Nichuguard, Naga Hills, in May. 



Arhopala ganesa watsoni, Evans. 



A male and four females taken at Suroifui, Manipur, 7,000-9,000 feet in 

 July, and a pair near Kohima, Naga Hills, in May and July. 



Sub-family — Deudorigince. 



Deudorix epijarbas, Moore. 



Males exceedingly common in Manipur. Females appear to be rare and 

 only five were taken. The dry-season-form is much smaller than the wet- 

 season-form. 



Two males and a female of the very distincb variety diara, Swinhoe, were 

 taken at Imphal, Manipur, in October and November. 



Deudorix hypargtria, Elwes. 



A single male taken at Sebong, Manipur, in April agrees fairly well with 

 Elwes' figure and description, it is however smaller, being only 1 '48" in 

 expanse ; the red colour is paler than shown on the figure and more res- 

 tricted on the hindwing, the costal area as far as vein 5 being entirely 

 fuscous. Underneath the wings are pure silvery with no tinge of brown 

 near costa and outer margin, the markings on hindwing are similar but 

 indistinct. The palpi are not entirely white, the terminal joint being 

 fuscous. 



Elwes placed his hypargyria in the genus Rapala but made no mention 

 of it possessing any male secondary sexual characters. Evans for this 

 reason in his " List of Butterflies" placed it under Deudorix.
