122 ^^. T)ohevij — A List of Bnfterflies taken in Kumaon. [No. 2, 



64. Vanessa ladakensis, Moore. Near Kalapani, Nepalese Tibet, 

 14,000 feet ; ariotiier near Hindi, Chinese Tibet, 15,000 feet. The pre- 

 hensores are quite different from those of haschmirensis. 



65. Vanessa CANACE, Linn, (c/mronm, Drury). Kiimaon generally, 

 2,500—8,000 feet, rather scarce. 



&Q. Grapta c-album, Linn. Khati, N. W. Kiimaon, 8,000 feet. 

 Resembles my Mari specimens very closely. 



67. Grapta agnicula, Moore. Pindari Glacier, 12,000 feet, Byans 

 valley, Eastern Kumaon, 12 — 15,000 feet. These species are closely 

 allied, but I have been able to separate my own specimens by means of 

 slight differences in the prehensores as well as by the shape and colouring. 

 But I do not find the prehensores absolutely constant in the first three 

 genera of this group. 



QS. Ptrameis indica, Herbst. Kumaon generally, 2,500 — 10,000 

 feet. 



69. Pyrameis cardui, Linn. Ranging from Dharchula (3,000 

 feet) to 16,000 feet on the Lepu Lek. 



70. Cyrestis thyodamas, Boisd. Kumaon generally, 2,000 — 8,000 

 feet, called the "map butterfly" by European collectors. The occa- 

 sional yellowish specimens are perhaps cases of atavism, indicating 

 descent from a red Cyrestis. 



71. Chersonesia risa, Doub. Kali valley, 2 — 3,000 feet. Kumaon 

 specimens are lighter in colour and more delicately marked than 

 Sikkim ones. Three of the bands below are in both sexes beautifully 

 glossed with lilac on the hindwings and to a less extent on the forewings. 



72. Symbrenthia hippoclus. Cram. Low country and river- valleys, 

 as far up as the Dhoaj, 6,500 feet, common. I have also found it in 

 the Eastern Ghats of the Indian Peninsula, in the districts of Ganjam 

 and Vizagapatam. 



73. Symbrenthia hypselis, Godt. Kali valley. Eastern Kumaon, 

 2 — 4,000 feet, common. 



74. Symbrenthia asthala, Moore. Pindari valley, N. W. Kumaon, 

 7,000 feet. The undescribed female differs from the male in the red 

 markings above being paler, the apical band wider and longer, extending 

 from the extreme costa almost to the outer margin, approaching the 

 discoid band, remote from the lower band, having a deep sinus on 

 its lower side and a streak given out upwardly from its outer end. 

 Lower band of forewing broad, its upper part clavate, displaced out- 

 wardly above the lower median, discoid band irregular, heavy, its end 

 produced below the middle median branch. Lower band of hindwing 

 extends only to the second subcostal, with only a trace of a sub- 

 marginal line beyond it. Below, nearly uniform orange-tawny, the base
