1882.] MR. H. J. ELWES ON BUTTERFLIES FROM SIKKIM. 407 
Havre sikkima, Moore, n. sp. 
A single specimen only of this species, of which, as of the next, 
the description has been supplied by Mr. F. Moore. 
Allied to H. beturia. Male. Differs from same sex of that 
species in the fore wing being more acute at the apex, and the exte- 
rior margin less convex; the hind wing also is less convex externally, 
the colour is much darker olivaceous brown. Upperside of fore 
wing with similar spots, the two conjoined spots before the apex less 
obliquely situated, the two discal spots slightly less separated. 
Underside also darker, the olive-yellowish scales uniformly disposed 
and not forming a marginal macular band or discal fascia on the 
hind wing. Cilia of both wings brownish white throughout, not 
alternated with black as in H. beturia. 
Expanse 12 inch. 
Hab. Sikkim. In coll. H. J. Elwes. 
In shape of wings and coloration this species is somewhat like 
HI. varia of Japan. 
Hare separata, Moore, n. sp. 
A pair only of this new species. 
Male. Also allied to H. beturia. Fore wing comparatively 
shorter and the hind wing broader; fore wing with three conjoined 
small subapical yellowish-white spots, a transverse spot at upper end 
of the cell, and two widely separated spots on the disk. Cilia 
brownish white, alternated with dark brown. Underside, with the 
costal and outer borders of fore wing and entire hind wing covered 
with golden-olive scales; posterior border of fore wing yellow. 
Expanse 1,4; inch. 
Hab. Sikkim. In coll. H. J. Elwes. 
Tuanaos stigmata, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 694. 
One damaged specimen only of this rare species, 
Hesperia DARA, Koll. Kaschm. p. 455. 
A single specimen, which is considered by Mr. Moore to be the 
same as H.dara of Kollar. It appears to be very close to H. flava, 
Murr., from Japan, and also to H. mesoides, Butl., which I have 
from Sikkim.
