120 W. Doherty — A List of Butterflies talcen in Kumaon. [No. 2, 



44. Yphthima huebneri, Kirby. Bagheswar, Rambagli, Kapkot, 

 1,000—4,000 feet. 



45. Yphthima singala, Felder. Bagheswar, Kapkot, Takula, Lower 

 Sarju, 2,000 — 6,000 feet. Fresh specimens have faint traces of a male 

 mark on the fore wing above, as in philomela. The fore wing above is 

 always ocellate in the female, non-ocellate in the male. I found an 

 allied species, ocellate in both sexes, common at the extreme summit 

 (5,000 feet) of Mahendragiri, Ganjam district, Eastern Ghats, and per- 

 haps identical with tliora. The form I call singala is common in many 

 parts of India ; I am not sure of its identity with the Ceylonese species. 



46. Yphthima avajs^ta, Moore. River- valleys generally, 2,500 — 5,000 

 feet. The sex-mark is more prominent than in singala. Ocellus on 

 forewing above sometimes obsolete in the male. 



47. Yphthima Philomela, Joh. Valleys up to 6,000 feet. The 

 sex-mark is very prominent. These seven species are all very distinct, 

 and all have the prehensores differently formed. The dry-season forms 

 are all more or less non-ocellate. That of sahra is still unknown 

 to me. The seasonal forms are not so well separated in Yphthima as in 

 Mycalesis. 



48. Melanitis leda, Linn. Wet-season form, Tarai and low valleys 

 up to 4,000 feet, August — September. Dry-season form (ismene, Cram.), 

 same localities, October — November. This species is hardly distinct 

 from the next two. The prehensores, which in this family and in the 

 Lyctsnidce are almost infallible tests of species, here show no good 

 distinctions. 



49. Melanitis zitenius, Herbst. Kali valley, 2 — 4,000 feet. 



50. Melanitis bela, Moore. Wet-season form, Baghrihat, Kali 

 Valley, 2,500 feet, rare. Dry-season form (aswa, Moore), Toll, Kali 

 Valley, 2,500 feet, rare. I consider tri&tis, Felder, suijudana, Moore, and 

 ahdullce, Distant, all synonyms of this species. 



Family ELYMNIAD^. 



61. Elymnias undularis, Dra. Ranibagh at the foot of the outer 

 hills, 1,000 feet. 



52. Elymnias leucocyma, Godt. Kali valley at Balwakot and 

 Toli, 2,500 — 3,000 feet. Compared with Sikkim specimens they are more 

 striated and speckled with white below, and as in patna they all have 

 an irregular line of whitish spots round the outer disc of the hindwing 

 above. 



53. Dyctis patna, Westw. Two males, Garjiaghat, near the junction 

 of the Kali and the Gori, Eastern Kumaon, 2,500 feet. They do not 

 differ from Sikkim specimens.
