8UB-FAM. PAPILIONIN^, 187 



237. P. PERNOMius, Fruhstorpher. 



This insect abounds near the borders of tanks and moist 

 places in otherwise dry forests in March, April, and May. 

 The females are very uncommonly met with, I think it is 

 only a local variety of P. ?iofnms, Esper. 



238. Deoris agetes, Westwood. 



Two males of this lovely insect were taken by me while 

 they were imbibing moisture from damp sand ; one in 

 February and one in March, at Tounggya Sekkan, in Moul- 

 main district. 



239. Orpheides demolius, Linnseus. 



The commonest Papilio in Central Burmah. It is more 

 commonly known by Cramer's name Erithonius. 



240. AcHiLLAiDES PARIS, Linnaeus. 



Rare in Burmah. I have only caught three specimens. 

 One taken in Tenasserim has the spot on the hind-wing 

 brilliant green in some lights and bluish-green in others, while 

 the two specimens caught in Bhamo have the spot bright blue. 



241. Harimala palinurus, Fabricius. 



Two specimens were taken by me in the Tenasserim pro- 

 vinces ; one in October and the other in January. 



242. Tamera castor, Westwood. 



I found the males of T. castor common on a jungle path 

 near Shwegoo, in the Bhamo district, m September, 1887. 

 They, in common with S. chaon and C. heleiius, were to be 

 found resting on damp, sandy roads under lofty trees. No 

 females of T. castor were to be seen on the roads, but they 

 could be found by searching the dense undergrowth on the 

 side of the road. I have also caught males of this species in 

 Lower Burmah in May, in which there are two additional 

 small white spots on the upper side of the posteriors between 

 the large spots and the margin. 



243. T. mahadeva, Moore. 



One male, caught at Hpapoon on the Yoonzaleen Eiver, in 

 September, 1881. Very rare in Burmah.
