THE BUTTERFLIES OF KUMAUK. 369 



298. "Tajuria illurgoides, de Niceville. — Naini Tal, 6,500 ft., July. (Lang). 

 Three males in the Vanrenen's collection from Binsar, 8,000 ft., in 

 September. I have not come across it and it is evidently very rare. 



299. Tajuria longinus, Fabricius. — Not rare up to 3,000 ft. from May to 

 September. 



300. Tajuria jehana, Moore. — Not common at Haldwani in December. 



301 . Tajuria yajna, DoJierty. — Eight specimens, including 1 female, taken 

 at Nalena 4,500 ft., and Durgaon, 3,000 ft. in May 1909. The authenticity 

 of this species has hitherto depended upon the capture of a single male by 

 Doherty at Jhulaghat (2,000 ft.) in August. It was re-discovered in May 

 1 909 by Mr. Peak's native catcher above the cart-road at Nalena, flying 

 round high trees in the river-bed. The female, which has not been describ- 

 ed before, is slightly larger than the male which it resembles in every respect 

 on the uppersicle. On the underside it differs as follows : — 



The ground colour brighter, almost golden brown ; the grey area on the 

 hindwing more diffuse ; the slender transverse line fulvous and white with- 

 out any black. 



302. (Miliaria othona, Hewitson. — Rare, April and May, 4,500 ft., Nalena, 

 Loharkhet. 



303. Chliaria kina. — Fairly common in April and from July to October 

 at 1-3,000 ft. usually in forest. It appears to be a shade-loving insect. 



304. Ticherra acte, Moore. — " Askot, Baghrighat, 2,500-5,000 ft., Eastern 

 Kumaun, scarce " (Doherty). I have not met with it. 



305. Horaga onyx, Moore. — Rare in September and October at Khairna, 

 3,200 ft. and Jiuli, 2,000 ft. 



306. Horaga viola, Moore.— Jiuli, 2,500 ft., Naini Tal, 7,000 ft., October, 

 rare. 



307. Loxura atymnus, Cram. — Common, July to October in lower hills up 

 to 4,500 ft. 



308. • Cheritra freja, Fabr.—" Jhulaghat, Gori and Kali Valleys, 2-3,000 

 ft." (Doherty). I have not come across it. 



309. Deudorix epijarbas, Moore. — Common, July to October, up to 6,000 ft. 

 Its larvte maybe found in profusion in June and July infesting pomegranates 

 — indeed in some years scarcely a pomegranate escapes their attacks. 



310. Hysudra selira, Moore. — Common, Cheena and Binsar, 7,500 ft., in 

 April and May, and to be met with rarely in September, flying round the 

 wild indigo (Indigofera purpurea) on which its larva feeds. 



311. Rapala schistacea, Moore. — Not uncommon on outer hills from July 

 to November up to 6,000 ft. 



312. Rapala orseis, Hewitson (= R. grisea, Moore). — Fairly common, 

 | September and October, 3-7,000 ft. 



313. Rapala nissa, Kollar,— Common from July to October at 4,000- 

 i 7,000 ft,
