THE BUTTERFLIES OF KUMAUN. 363 



187. Delias belladonna, Fabr.— Bare, 4,000-8,000 ft. in May. 



188. Prioneris thestylis, Doubleday. — Rare, Naini Tal, 7,500 ft. in May. 

 I have not come across the wet-season form in Kumaun. 



189. Anaphaeis mesentina, Cram. — Common up to 6,000 ft. almost through- 

 out the year. 



190. Aporia soracte, Moore.— Very common. April and May, 6,000-8000 

 ft. 



191. Aporia agathon, Gray. — The capkusa variety (r 1 ) is common in April 

 and May at 6,000-8000 ft. I have not come across the phryxe variety (?) 

 in Kumaun, though it should occur in Garhwal. Typical agathon I have 

 not met with, though recorded from Kumaun. 



192. "Aporia nabellica, Boisduval. — Recorded by Bingham from Naini 

 Tal. I have never met with it, but it doubtless occurs in the interior of 

 Garhwal near the snows. 



193. : Synchloe belia daphalis, Moore. ( = Euchlee daphalis, Moore). — 

 According to Colonel Swinhoe, the type specimen was taken " at Kumaun" 

 in April, presumably by Colonel Lang. It is evidently very rare and is 

 such a short time on the wing that it has since escaped observation. 



194. Pieris canidia Fairly common at 6,000-9,000 ft. May and 



October. 



195. Pieris brassica? Common up to 9,000 ft. April to November. 



196. Pieris napi, Melete. — Not common at Naini Tal, but common in the 

 Pindari Valley at 8,000 ft. in May and again in September. 



197. Pieris callidice, Esper. — Fairly common at 12-14,000 ft. in June 

 in the interior of Garhwal. 



198. Pieris chloridice, Hubner. — Rare at the same elevation as the last 

 named in August and September. 



199. Huphina nerissa. — Common up to 4,000 ft. June to October. 



200. Ixias pyrene. — Common in the Tarai in December and January, 

 and up to 8,000 ft. in September and October. The large Evippe form is 

 only found at high elevations. 



201. Ixias marianne.— Common in Tarai. December to April, below 

 2,000 ft. 



202. Appias hippo 1 male from Ranibagh, 1,000 ft. in September. 



203. Appias lalage.— Rare in Naini Tal at 7,000 ft. in May. 



204. Appias libythea. — I have a single $ taken by a native collector 

 near Naini Tal in July 1909 at about 7,000 ft. 



205. Catopsilia crocale, Cramer. — Common, June to October, up to 3,000 

 ft. In deference to Bingham I have not separated C. catilla which 

 occurs in swarms along with C. crocale. Breeding experiments would seem 

 to point to the two forms being specifically distinct and the differences are 

 constant. 



206. Catopsilia pyranthe, Linn.— Common, June to October, up to 6,000 ft.
