BUTTERFLIES FEOJI THE CHIN HILLS. 667 



193. Cheritra freja, Fabricius. 

 Common in the Upper Ghindwin from March to May, and in the 

 liills up to 3j500 feet. 



194. HoRAGA SIKKIMA, Moore. 

 A single female taken in the Upper Ghindwin in May. 



195. Catapcecilma elegans, Druce. 

 A single pair taken in the Upper Ghindwin in March. 



196. LoxuRA atymnus, Gramer. 

 Gomnion in the Upper Ghindwin and at the foot of the hills ; 

 also from Manipur, 



197. Lehera eryx, Linnseus. 

 A single specimen from the Upper Ghindwin in April. 



198. Deudorix epijarbas, Moore. 

 A single male from o,oOO feet in the rains ; this species appears to 

 he rare in Burma. 



199. ZiNASPA TODARA, Moore. 

 One male and four females from 3,500 feet in May and June. 

 These specimens are inseparable from others from the Nilgiris, and 

 there is no doubt that Z. distorta, de Niceville, should sink as a syno- 

 nym of Z. todara. The latter is supposed to differ in the male being 

 without purple on the hiudwing, and by the disc of the forewing in 

 the female being blue instead of purple. I find, however, that in 

 Nilgiri males there is precisely the same amount of purple on the 

 hindwing as in Burmese ones, while the tone of the coloration of the 

 upperside in both sexes varies considerably as noted by Mr. de Nice- 

 ville himself. The ground-colour of the underside varies from pale 

 fawn to dark red-brown very much in the same way as does Tajuria 

 jangala ; in both species the tone of the colouring depending on the 

 season, those with paler undersides being found in the dry weather. 

 The present species does not appear to be very rare in Burma, 

 and I have taken it in the South Chin Hills, the Karen Hills, and 

 at Rangoon. 



200. Rap ALA bdxaria, de Niceville. 

 Three females taken at 5,500 feet in May. These specimens may 

 turn out to belong to R. nissa, Kollar, the females of which are almost 

 identical with those of M. huxaria, while the males are abundantly 

 distinct. Both R. nissa and R, huxaria ocour in the Shan Hills.
