? PiRDANA RUDOLPHEI. 



? P. rudolphei, Elwes & deNicev. J. A. S. B. 1886, pt. ii. p. 438, 

 t. XX. 6 d" • 



A male from the Karen Hills and a much larger specimen, which 

 I take to be the female, from Perak. The latter has the base of 

 fore wing and great part of the hind wing shot with steely purple or 

 green as in P. hyela ; but the underside, which agrees precisely with 

 that of the male, is free from the striation which is seen in P. hyela 

 and to some extent in the type of P. rudolphei. I am not at all sure 

 whether P. rudolphei is a good species, the extent of yellow in the 

 fringes and hind wing being variable in P. hyela, with which it other- 

 wise agrees. If the underside is constant, what I have here called 

 P. rudolphei would be a new species, but the material existing is not 

 sufficient to decide the point. 



PiSOLA ZENNARA. 



P. semara, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 786, t. xlii. 4. 



Of this species, which I recently supposed to be confined to 

 Sikkim, Doherty has sent two males from the Naga Hills, and two 

 females from the Karen Hills ; but the fore wing iu these latter is 

 much more rectangular than in the Sikkim female, and the vitreous 

 baud of a glassy white without yellow tinge as in that from Sikkim. 



Capila jayadeva. 



C.jayadeva, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 785, t. xlii. 3. 

 A single male from the Naga Hills and a female recorded from 

 Margharita by Doherty. 



Zea mytheca. 



Hesp. mytheca, Hew. Ann. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, xix. p. 81 (1877). 

 Tea (vel Zea) mytheca, Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 377, t. xxxv. 7 ? . 

 A single specimen (which looks like a male, though the abdomen 

 is damaged) from Perak agrees with the figure cited. 



PaRATA ALEXIS. 



1 Pap. alexis, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 533.

 Parata cliromus. Cram. Pap. Ex. iii. t. 284, E. 

 Sent from Bernardmyo and the Karen Hills. I still fail to see 

 how to separate P. alexis and P. chromus. 



BiBASIS SENA. 



Goniloba sena, Moore, Cat. E. I. C. p. 245 (1857). 

 A single male from the Naga Hills.
