BUTTERFLIES FROM THE CHIN HILLS. 681 



296. Padraona dara, Kollar. 

 A single male at the foot of the hills in April. 



297. Padeaona m^soides, Butler. 

 Thi-ee males and one female in the Upper Chindwin between March 

 and May. 



298. Padraona pseudomzesa, Moore. 

 A single male in the Upper Chindwin in April. The above three 

 Padraonas may be wrongly identified, but I think without doubt 

 belong to three distinct species. I also obtained three males and one 

 female of a fourth species, which appears to be undescribed. 

 299. Padraona gola, Moore. 

 Not uncommon in the Upper Chindwin from March to May. This 

 species, as well as the South Indian P. goloides, is without the male 

 mark found in the other species of the genus, and also differs from 

 them slightly in neuration. 



300. Halpe moorei, Watson. 

 Common in the Upper Chindwin during March and April. 

 301. Halpe cerata, Hewitson. 

 A single specimen seen at 1,500 feet. 



302. Halpe masoni, Moore. 

 A single male in the Upper Chindwin in April. 

 303. Iton semamorAj Moore. 

 Upper Chindwin, in April and May ; fairly common. 



304. Baoris oceia, Hewitson. 

 Common in the Upper Chindwin and up to 1,500 feet from March 

 to May and, as usual, very variable. A form of this species has recent- 

 ly* been described by Colonel Swinhoe under the name B, sikkima. 

 The two sexes which are taken as representing B. sikJcima do not how- 

 ever even belong to the same form, as the male has the full comple- 

 ment of eight spots, while the female wants the two spots in the 

 discoidal cell of the forewing ; no reason is given for not takino- 

 two sexes of the same form, though females with two spots in the cell 

 are as common in Sikkim as those without them. While describince 

 B. sikkima, Colonel Swinhoe tries to cast doubt on the authenticity of 

 the specimen in the Hewitson collection which stands as the typo 

 of B. oceia, and in a subsequent paper on the Khasia Hill butterflies
