38. Mycalesis perseouh.s, Moore. 



Plentiful at Pagaye and Wagon during November and December at low 

 elevations. 



39. Mycalesis mnasides perna, Fruh. 



Not uncommon in bamboo jungle at the foot of the hills. 



40. Mycalesis fuscum, Felder. S J^o- HI $ No. IV in plate. 



Taken sparingly along the streams and in the swamps near Pagaye and 

 Myitta. This butterfly is seldom seen on the wing, as it lies hidden under the 

 " debris '' that is left by the streams when the floods have subsided and 

 has to be beaten out. Sometimes they may be flushed from the weeds and 

 scrub that grow along the banks of the streams, but for this it is necessary 

 to be on the spot before sunrise. Good specimens are difficult to secure and 

 females are very scarce. Three males and one female were taken at Myitta, 

 by Wood, in March 1912, and fourteen males and two females were taken 

 in the streams near Pagaye during December and January 1919-20. The 

 best spot for this species is a feeder of the Pauktaungchaung, about a mile 

 East of Pagaye. 



41. Mycalesis oroatis surHia, MsiY. 



Rather a rare species ; one female taken at Kadantaung and several males 

 at Sanchaung, 4 miles North of Pagaye, during September and October. 



42. Mycalesis meda, Fab. 



Common on the hills all the year round. 



43. Melanitis leda ismene, Cr. 

 Common all over and at all seasons. 



44. Melanitis pJiedima beh.. Moore. 



Does not appear to be so com.mon as the above ; a few specimens taken 

 at Pagaye during December. 



45. Mycalesis zitenius aidet(<s, Fruh. 



A single male taken at the foot of Pagaye hill on 15th Decemb«r 1919. 



46. Anadebis diademoides, Moore. 



This species is not uncommon though very local. It is fairly plentiful 

 in the Ouzinchaung near Kyaukmedaung and at Myekhanbaw ; is easy to 

 take as it flies little and settles frequently on twigs and leaves overhang- 

 ing the streams and is not shy. The colour of the eyes is turquoise in 

 freshly captured specimens but fades after a time to brown. 



47. Elyrnnias Jiypermnesfra tinctoria, Moore. 



A common butterfly found at all elevations where palms and canes grow. 

 In most specimens the females have the hind wings suffused with white, 

 but the white varies considerably so that some specimens are indistinguish- 

 able from the same sex of E. undidaris, Drury. ' 



48. Elyrnnias cottonis obniibila, Mar. 



A rare species which keeps to dense jungle where palms and canes grow. 

 Two males and a female taken at Yeawing, 500' on the 22nd February 

 1919 and three males and a female on Kalataung 1500' on the 23rd Decem- 

 ber 1919. 



49. Elyrnnias dara dcedalion, DeN. 



A pair taken on Pagava hill 500' during November and December. It is 

 a rare species and difficult to catch as it flies high and keeps to dense 

 bamboo jungle. 



50. Elyrnnias malelas saueri, Dist. 



A single female taken by Wood at Kadantaung on the 22nd September 

 1915. This one is very hke the female of E. m%lelas, Hew., on the upper 

 side, though the outer margin of the forewing is prominently toothed near 

 the middle. The underside resembles E. timindra, Wall,
