. THE BtJTTERFLIES OF CHITRAL. 667 



2. Danais cheysippus, Linnaeus. 

 Common at low elevations in the main valley from April to September, 

 occasional ones going up to 10,000 feet. The chestnut colour is much richer 

 than that of specimens found in India. 



3. Danais alcippds, Cramer. 

 Two specimens obtained at Nagar in September and October. 



4. Danais plexippus, Linneeus. 

 One specimen caught at 6,000 feet near Drosh on May 12th, 1901. 

 Sub-Family— Satyrin^. 



5. Amecera cashmibensis, Moore. 



Found afc 6,000 to 9,000 feet in the side nallahs below Chitral from June 

 to August. Good specimens were difficult to obtain owing to the butterfly 

 having a fancy for flying inside prickly-leaved bushes. 



6. Lasiommata schakra, Kollar, 



One male caught at Ziarat, 8,000 feet in September and one female near 

 Drosh in August. 



7. Lasiommata mcerula, Felder. 



Rare in the side nallahs below Chitral near water at 5,000 to 8,0U0 feet 

 from June to August. The lack of the male brand and the irregularity of 

 the discal line on the underside of the hindwing distinguishes this insect 

 from its allies. 



8. Lasiommata menava, Moore. 



In April and May common on every footpath in the main valley below 

 Chitral : after May, the heat drives it up to 6,000 to 9,000 feet, where it may 

 be caught commonly up to August. 



9. Nytha parisatis, Kollar. 



Very common from June to November at 5,000 to 7,000 feet, 



10. Kanetisa pimpla, Felder. 



Common on " Sanitarium Hill," 6,500 feet, near Drosh in June and July 

 and occasionally seen at several places up to 10,000 feet. Females were 

 rare. The higher one goes the smaller this butterfly seems to become. 



11. Kanetisa djgna, Marshall. 



Very local. Common from June to August at 7,000 feet on the hills near 

 Drosh, and in the nallah up to the Shandur Pass from Laspur at 11,000 feet, 



12. Kanetisa sp. 

 Two males caught in the nallah up to the Shandur Pass at 11,000 feet in 

 August. It is allied to K. digna, Moore, but is smaller, and the fulvous 

 band is duller and less extensive. Underneath the outer margins of both 

 wings are broadly black. Believed to be a new species. 

 13. Eumenis baldiva, Moore. 

 Local and uncommon. Foimd in various places from Drosh to the Shandur 

 Pass in July and August. 



14. Karanasa huebneri, Felder. 

 Found in the Utzen nallah at 9,000 feet, and on the Shandur Pass at 12,000
