NAG A HILLS BUTTERFLIES. 143 



with yellow and appear to be intermediate between the forms with pure 

 green underside and L. shinneri. 



Lehera skinnbri, W. M. and De N. 



A single male of this form was taken near Imphal, Manipur, in December. 

 I think it will prove to be an extreme dry-season-form of L. erijx. 



Catopcecilma elegans, Druce. 



Very common on the Range Hills near Imphal, Manipur, at about 3,000 

 feet. The dry-seasou-form of the female is much paler and has the blue more 

 extensive than the wet-season female. The seasonal males do not differ 

 appreciably. 



Catapcecilma delicatum, De N. 



A single female taken at Nichuguard, Naga Hills, in April. I believe this 

 species has hitherto only been recorded from Sikkim. 



HORAGA MOULMEIMA, Moore. 



Common in Manipur. Rare in the Naga Hills where only a male and four 

 females were obtained at the foot of the Hills near Nichuguard. The 

 seasonal forms vary greatly. The dry-season-form has the blue much paler 

 and more extensive ; on the underside the colour on outer half is pale 

 silvery-brown instead of yellow-brown and the white discal patch on the 

 forewing quite reaches the costa in the female and almost reaches it in the 

 male. 



HoRAGA VIOLA, Moore. 



A male and two females taken at Imphal and Sebong, Manipur, in July 

 and August appear to be referable to this species but I have no specimens 

 from other localities with which to compare them. 



Family— HESPERIID^ . 



Sub-family — Hesperiince . 



ORTHOPiETXJS LALiTA, Doherty. 



A male taken at Sebong, Manipur, in March and another in April. 



Capilla zennara, Moore. 



A male taken at Nichuguard, Naga Hills, in November. Two males at 

 Sebong, Manipur, in July and another in October. 



AcHALARTJS BiFASCiATA LiLiANA, Atkinson. 



Numerous males and two females obtained at Sebong and at Kanjupkhul, 

 from the foot of the hills up to 6,000 feet, from March to June and several 

 males and two females at Phesima and Kirbari, Naga Hills, during May 

 and June. The female appears to be very rare. 



ACHALARUS ABORICA, n. sp. (PL II., Fig. 16, c5'). 



Male differs from A. li liana on the upperside in being much darker. Fore- 

 wing : three subapical white spots and not five ; discal band yellow and not 

 creamy white. Cilia on hindwing with the pale portions darker ; on forewing 

 uniform dark brown and not chequered with paler scales except in interspace 1,
