THE BUTTERFLIES OF MUSSOORIE. 387 



197. Tajuria dleus, Hewitson. 

 Very rare, two male specimens obtained in March, 1887, in 

 Mussoorie. In Mr. Mackinnon's collection is another male bred in 

 Mussoorie from a larva found by Mrs. Robson on LorantJncs bicolor, L., 

 Natural Order Loranthacece, the transformations of which she described 

 in Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. ix, p. 339 (1895), in error as 

 those of Camena \_Creon\ cleobis, Godart. 



188. Tajuria istroidea, do Nice"ville. 



There is a single specimen of this species in Mr. A. E. Ryve's collec- 

 tion taken in a valley near Mussoorie. 



199. Chliaria othona, Hewitson. 

 Rare in Mussoorie, one pair obtained in June; occurs in Dehra Dun 

 in July. 



200. Chliaria kina, Hewitson. Plate V, Figs. 17a, 17b, pupa. 



Rare in Mussoorie from April to June, and in Dehra Dun from 

 July to September. The larva in the Dun feeds on the flowers of an 

 orchid, Khynchostylis retusa, Blume, Natural Order Orchidece. Head 

 pale yellowish-brown, body pale Vight green, covered with scattered 

 pink hairs, a dorsal reddish-pink strip? wider at both ends than in 

 the middle, two stripes of the same colour on either side between the 

 dorsal and abdominal stripe ; these stripes all. converge towards either 

 extremity, giving the impression that the larva is entirely pink at 

 either end, but under a magnifying glass the lines are seen to be 

 separate ; a small black spiracular dot on each segment along the 

 abdominal line, while the latter is of the same colour as the other 

 stripes. As the flowers of the orchid are also pink, the larva is not 

 easy to see. The pupa is green. 



201. Horaga onyx, Moore. Plate V, Figs. 18a, 186, larva. 



Not rare in Mussoorie from April to June, in August and Septem- 

 ber, and in the Dun in August, September, November and December. 

 The larva feeds on the leaves of Coriaria nepalensis, Wall.. Natural 

 Order Coriariece, is shaped exactly like that of H. viola, Moore, and 

 is furnished with the same number of processes, but the colour is 

 different, some parts being green, and the others brown. The pupa,
