21. Lethe (Tansima) verma, KolL Lower Himalayan tract, 2,500 — 

 6,000 feet, not very common. 



22. Lethe (Tansima) rohria, Fabr. Lower Himalayan tract, 2,500— 

 7,500 feet, common. The subcostal veins of these two species are dif- 

 ferently arranged, but they agree in the very broad cell of the forewing, 

 in the white apical stripe common to both sexes, in 4he first ocellus of 

 the hindwing below being withdrawn from the series, and, as regards the 

 prehensores, in the curiously palmate branches of the uncus. 



23. Lethe (Zophoessa) jalaurida, de Niceville. Dhankuri, Khati, 

 Dwali, North-West Kumaon, 7 — 11,000 feet. The female only differs 

 from the male in its larger size, broader wings, and somewhat paler 

 markings. 



24. Lethe (Zophoessa) goalpara, Moore. Dhankuri, Khati, 7 — 

 9,000 feet. 



Subgenus Charma, nov. Forewing, outer margin straight or slightly 

 convex, cell rather short and. broad, upper radial from the end, 2nd and 

 3rd subcostals from just before the end, of the cell, approximate, discocel- 

 lulars slightly convex. Hindwing narrow, almost equally angled at the 

 first and third median branches. The apical angle obsolescent, that at 

 the 1st subcostal more distinct, the lower discocellular joining the 

 median just before its last bifurcation. A glandular patch of peculiar 

 black scales on the hindwing of the male in the space between the costal 

 and subcostal veins, extending into the cell and just within the fork 

 of the 1st and 2nd subcostals. By this patch, and by the displacement 

 of the first ocellus of the hindwing behind the line of the others, this 

 group may be distinguished from other Lethe. What I regard as of 

 more importance is the extraordinary structure of the prehensores ; the 

 uncus (which is provided with rather short and slender branches) 

 being cleft into two strong lobes lying in the same vertical longitudinal 

 plane, and resembling the open claw of a lobster, the lower point being 

 Blightly the longer, a structure unknown among all other tetrapod 

 butterflies. Type haladeva. The genus probably includes andersoniif 

 Atkinson, and perhaps other species. 



25. Lethe (Charma) baladeva, Moore. Pindari Valley, 7 — 8,000 

 feet, darker than Sikkim specimens, the silver bands narrower. 



26. Lethe (Neope) pulaha, Moore. Khati, Kapkot, 7 — 8,000 

 feet, rare. 



27. Rhaphicera moorei, Butler. Dhankuri, Khati, Dwali, Chau- 

 dans, 7 — 11,000 feet. The female only differs in its larger size, slightly 

 paler colouring, and broader wings. 



28. Amecera sohakra, Koll. Kumaon generally up to 9,000 feet, 

 Been as low as Dharchula, 3,500 feet.
