BUTTERFLIES FROM THE CHIN HILLS. 653 



72. Cynthia ekota, Fabricius. 

 A few males at the foot of the hills in the rains. 



73. DiLiPA MORGIANA, Westwood. 

 A single male of this rare species was caught at about 7,500 feet, 

 flying round the extreme peak of one of the hills near Fort White. 



74. Apatura ambica, Kollar (namouna, Doubleday). 

 A single male at the foot of the hills in July, and two males at 

 8,500 feet in the rains. One of the latter is a curious melanistic 

 variety ; on the upperside the two spots just beyond the discoidal cell 

 on the forewing are almost entirely wanting, and the discal band on 

 the hindwing is also obsolescent ; on the underside the brown marginal 

 band on both wings is very broad and inwardly diffused instead of 

 sharply defined, the yellow patch towards the outer angle of the fore- 

 wing is much reduced in size, and the white medial band on the hind- 

 wing is entirely wanting. It is nearest to the variety named A. zanoa 

 by Hewitson. 



75. Hestina nama, Doubleday. 



A few specimens at from 3,500 to 5,000 feet in May and June. 



76. Peecis iphita, Cramer.

81. Junonia oeithyia, Linnjsus.. 



The last six species occurred commonly in the Upper Chindwin 

 &nd in Manipur ; P. iphita^ J. lemonias^ and J. hierta also occurred in 

 the hills up to 3,500 feet, and J. orithyia up to 6,000 feet.
