BUTTERFLIES FROM THE CHIN HILLS. 661 



156. Lampides celeno, Cramer (^lianus, Fabricius). 

 Common in the Upper Chindwin and up to 3,500 feet in May and 

 Jnne. 



157. Lampides cleodtjs, Felder (pura, Moore.) 

 A single male from the Upper Chindwin in April. 



158. Lampides, n. sp. 

 A single male from 7,000 feet in April. Mr. de Nic^ville informs 

 me that this specimen is " nearest to L. hondulana^ Felder, but 

 differs in having a broad black margin on the jipperside ; in true 

 L. hondulana there is a black thread only. The ground-colour of 

 the underside is also redder, but the striation is identical." I have 

 received a second male from Katha, Upper Burma, but do not consider 

 it advisable to name the species at present. 



159. Catochrtsops steabo, Fabricius. 



Common in the Upper Chindwin and in the hills up to 3,500 feet. 



160. Catochrysops cnejus, Fabricius. 

 Common in the Upper Chindwin, but not noticed in the hills. 



161. Catochrysops pandava, Horsfield, 



This species together with its dwarf form C, contracta was common 

 in the Upper Chindwin in April and May. 



162. Tarucus plinius, Fabricius. 

 Common in the hills up to 7,000 feet. 



163. Castalius rosbion, Fabricius, 

 'Common in the Upper Chindwin. 



164. Castalius decidia, Hewitson. 

 A few specimens at the foot of the hills in March. 



165. Castalius roxana, de Niceville. 

 A single specimen from the foot of the hills in March. Nearest to 

 C. roxus, Godart. On the upperside the white markings are more 

 extensive, and on the underside of the hiadwing the central one of 

 the three sub marginal spots consists of two instead of three conjoined 

 spots, the anterior one being wanting. Colonel A damson records a 

 species of Castalius allied to C. roxus from the Chindwin District, and 

 probably refers to the present species. I have also received a speci- 

 men from the Chinese frontier east of Bhamo. True C. roxus has 

 not been recorded from further north than the Karen Hills,
