NOTES ON BUTTERFLIES FROM THE NAG A HILLS. 507 



The two forms placed side by side appear very different but undoubtedly- 

 belong to the same species. 



DoPHLA IVA, Moore. 



Three males and a female of this rare butterfly were taken by irjy Native 

 collectors at Kirbari, Naga Hills, at 6,000 ft., in July, August and Septem- 

 ber. 



DoPHLA TAOOANA, Moore. 



Two males in perfect condition taken on Cachar Road, Manipur, at the- 

 end of April or beginning of May. 



This is a very interesting capture as it has previously not been recorded' 

 further north than the Hills of Lower Burma. 



EuTHALiA cocYTUs, Fabr. 



Several males taken at Sebong on the Burma Road, Manipur, in March, 

 April, October and November. I believe this species has not been recordedl 

 so far north before. 



EUTHALIA SEDEVA, Moore. 



Both E. sedeva and E. appiades occur in Manipur but do not fly together.. 

 E. sedeva is confined to the Western Manipur Hills and E. ap^nades to the 

 Eastern Manipur Hills. 



E. adima was not met with. 



EUTHALIA JAPKOA, n. sp. (PI. Ill, Fig. 22 S)- 



Male. TJpim'sxde: dark olive green. Forewing : Cell paler green than the 

 ground colour and crossed by two dark broad bands ; a subterminal row of 

 white spots with diffused edges inwardly bent at interspace. Hindwing : 

 a very indistinct broad discal band of slightly paler colour with 

 iridescent greenish reflections somewhat brighter towards the tornus ; 

 a subterminal row of pale spots as on forewing but closer to the termen,. 

 large and white towards the apex, small and pale green towards the tornus ; 

 dorsum very pale green. Underside : bluish white with iridescent green 

 reflections ; two black broad bars crossing cell of forewing ; a similar 

 bar crossing cell of hindwing at its middle and a black f»pot near its. 

 base and another at the base of interspace 7 ; a very broad dark discal 

 band, commencing in interspace 2 of forewing and continued to near- 

 tornus of hindwing where it ends in a point, purplish black on 

 forewing and suffused with greenish reflections on the hindwing ; its. 

 inner edge very dark and sharply defined in interspaces 4, 5, 6 and 7 ;. 

 inner edge below this and entire outer edge much paler and very diffuse ; 

 the subcostal area of forewing and subterminal area of hindwing suffused 

 with iridescent green ; a subterminal row of pale spots on both wings as on. 

 upperside but not so distinct becoming obsoloEcent towards the tornus ; a., 

 terminal dark area narrow on the hindwing becoming broader towards the- 

 apex of the forewing. 



Antenna dark brown above and below ; club below yellow brown. 



Body dark green above ; greyish bluish white below. 



Expanse : 3-42". 



A very distinct species ; its nearest ally appears to be Euthalia francice- 

 which, however, is quite different. 



A single specimen was taken by my Native collector above Phesima, Naga. 

 Hills, at 6,000' in a nullah below Japro Peak.
