130. Rapala griska, Moore. Kapkot, Bagheswar, Khati, 3 — 7,000 

 feet. This species, which has the transverse band below broader than 

 in schistacea, and the wings dull steel-blue in all lights without the 

 brilliant cyaneous reflections of that species, has been identified hj Mr. 

 de Niceville as orseis. Hew. (from Sumatra), and so named by him in his 

 lists of the butterflies of Sikkim, Calcutta, and the Andaman Islands. 



An aberrant male and female from Jhulaghat on the western border 

 of Nepal differ in the extreme width of the transverse band below, 

 which is very dark, and on both wings of the male, and less perfectly 

 in the hindwing of the female, is united with the dark discocellular 

 band. I prefer not to separate this form from grisea, though it is 

 perhaps distinct. 



131. CuRETis THETIS, Drury, (thetys). Kali valley, not common. 

 Except in the outline of the wings, which is that of the typical thetis, my 

 Kumaon specimens do not differ from bulis. The red is confined to a 

 rather small area of the forewing, indented from above, and not reaching 

 the hind margin. 



132. CuRETis BULIS, Doub. Sarju, Kali, and Gori valleys, 2 — 5,000 

 feet. Male as in the preceding form, the red of the forewing occupying 

 most of the cell, but not extending above middle median on the disc, 

 the hind margin widely black. Female with a large white medial 

 area on the forewing indented at the end of the cell. Hindwing 

 with a small lunular white patch on the disc, extending to the whitish 

 costa. It thus seems to resemble dentata, Moore, in colouring, but the 

 hindwing, like the forewing, is very strongly angled. My specimens 

 vary remarkably in size. Though the prehensores are very complicat- 

 ed in this genus, I have not been able to detect the slightest difference 

 between those of the two species (?) here called hulls and thetis. 



L33. LoxuBA ATYMNUS, Cram. Ranibagh and the Tarai, 1,000 feet. 

 Of the position of this as of the preceding genus, I am still uncertain. 



Subfamily Theclin^. 



134. Cheritra acte, Moore. Askot, 5,000 feet, Baghrihat, 2,500 

 feet, E. Kumaon, scarce. 



135. Cheritra jafra, Godt. Jhulaghat, Gori, and Kali valleys, 

 2—3,000 feet. 



136. Spindasis lohita, Horsf., (Mmalayanus, Moore). Below Kap- 

 kot, 3,500 feet, scarce. 



137. Spindasis vulcanus, Fabr. Haldwani at the foot of the hills, 

 1,000 feet. 



138. Tajuria longinus, Fabr. Haldwani at foot of hills, 1,000 ft,, 

 one male.
