132 W. Dohertj — A List of Butterfiies tahen in Kumaon. [No. 2, 



have not yet been observed. The e^^ is not quite so flat as in 

 tmiUistrigatus, and there is no trace of carination : it is beautifully 

 reticulate above. Hamada, Druce, described from Japan, is found in 

 Sikkim, Cachar, and the Chittagong Hill Tracts ; it is very unlike any 

 other member of this group, if indeed it belongs to it at all. From the 

 structure of the prehensores I should rather place it among the Lycisnince. 

 The legs are short and thick, the wings broad and rounded, the third 

 subcostal originates before the end of the cell. I did not succeed in 

 examining its egg. Another species of this subfamily I found abundantly 

 in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Sikkim specimens of it have been 

 identified by Mr. Moore with hoisduvalii from Java. It is the only true 

 Gerydus yet known from India. All the Gerydince which I have ex- 

 amined are distinguished by the extraordinarily flattened Qgg, and by 

 the curious structure of the prehensores, the clasps being very long, 

 broad, thin and plate-like, somewhat resembling the " valves " of the 

 T apilionidce . It is my impression that the egg of Gatajpoecilma (Gata- 

 psecilma, Butler) elegans, Druce, is intermediate in character between 

 those of the Beudorix and Gerydus groups. 



Subfamily Poritin^. 



157. PoRiTiA HEWiTSONi, Moore. A male and a female, Kali valley 

 at Garjiaghat. 



Subfamily Lyc^nin^. 



158. EvERES DiPORA, Moorc. Everywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 

 feet. The red area on the hindwing below is variable. The female is 

 dark brown above. The male is indistinguishable from parrhasius. 



159. Tarucus theophrastus, Fabr. Haldwani at the foot of the 

 hills. 



160. Tarucus venosus, Moore. Bagheswar, Sarju valley, common ; 

 also in the Kali valley, 2,000—4,000 feet. 



161. ? PLiNius, Fabr. Jhulaghat, Kali valley, 2,000 feet. 



The structure of the costal and sub-costal veins of the forewing shows 

 that this species does not belong to Mr. Moore's genus Tarucus. It is 

 perhaps allied to the next group. 



162. AzANUS UBALDUS, Cram. Ranibagh and Haldwani at the foot 

 of the hills, Jhulaghat in the Kali valley, 2,000 feet. 



163. AzANUS GAMRA, Lederer, (crameri, Moore). Haldwani, scarce. 



164. PoLYOMMATUS B JiTicus, Linn. Kumaon generally, up to Budhi, 

 9,000 feet. 



165. Lampides iELiANUS, Fabr. Ranibigh, at the foot of the hills ; 

 Sarju and Kali valleys, 2 — 4,000 feet, scarce.
