1891.] THE NAGA AND KAREN HILLS AND PERAK. 277 



LiMENlTIS DANAVA. 



L. danava, Moore, Cat. E. I. C. p. 180, t. vi. a. 2 ; Butt. lud. ii. 

 p. 157. 



Less common than the last two m the Naga Hills ; a female from 

 there is darker in colour than others from Sikkim and Landour. 



Athyma kanwa. 



A. kanwa, Moore, P. Z. S. 1858, p. 1", t. li. fig. 2 ; Butt. lud. 

 ii. p. 169. 



Several males of this were taken in the Karen Hills at 4000-5000 

 feet. 



Athyma pravara. 



A pravara, Moore, Cat. E. I. C. p. 173, t. v. «. 4 : Butt. Ind. ii. 

 p. 170. 



Sent by Doherty from Margharita and the Karen Hills. 



Athyma mahesa, var. ranga. 



A. ranga, Moore, Cat. E. I. C. p. 175, t. v. a. 6 ; Butt. Ind. ii. 

 p. 172. 



A single specimen of this, whicli I consider to be a form oi mahesa,, 

 taken in March in the Karen Hills. 



Athyma opalina, var. orientalis. 



A. orientalis, Elwes, Trans. Eut. Soc. 1888, p. 354, t. ix. fig. 4 d . 



Males of this from the Naga Hills are exactly like those from 

 Sikkim, Bhutan, and Khasia, which I called orientalis, but two from 

 the Karen Hills are nearer to the typical opalina. This inclines me 

 to think that the race is not so constant as I supposed, and I there- 

 fore drop the name as a specific one. 



Neurosigma doubledayi, var. ? (Plate XXVII. fig. 7, 6 •) 

 Acontia douhledaii, Westw. Cab. Or. Ent. d. 76, t. xxxvii. 4 ? 



(1848). 



Adolias siva, Westw. Gen. D. Lep. ii. p. 291 (1850). 



Neurosigma siva. Butt. Ind. ii. p. 151, t. xix. fig. 80 cS . 



Seems common in the Karen Hills at 4000-5000 feet ; but males 

 only were sent. 



These are perfectly distinct from the same sex of the form found 

 in Sikkim, Bhutan, and Kha?ia, having the rufous colour confined 

 to the base of the lore wing only, and not spread over the greater 

 part of the fore and inner half of the hind wing as in Sikkim. In 

 fact they resemble Westwood's figure, which represents a female 

 from the Khasia Hills, except in the absence of a yellow dash near 

 the base of the hind wing. I have a specimen collected by Doherty 

 in the Cliittagong Hills, which is like the Sikkim form. 



If, therefore, the female from the Karen Hills proves different from 

 the Sikkim and Khasia one, I should have no hesitation in naming 

 this form as distinct ; at present, however, we may only have a case
