96 L. de Niceville — List of Butterflies tahen in Sihhim. [Nos. 2 — 4, 



I took this species at low elevations, and the Lepchas obtained several 

 specimens. 



230. Miletus hoiscluvali, Moore. 



Obtained by the Lepchas, and apparently not very rare. This and 

 the proceeding species should certainly be separated generically. 



231. Gastalius ananda, de Niceville. 



A single male of this species was taken by me in the Great Runjit 

 Valley, the Lepchas obtained both sexes. 



232. Gastalius elna, Hewitson. 



Not uncommon at low elevations sucking up moisture. 



233. JSTacaduba hhutea, de Niceville. 

 Males only. 



234. JLoraga viola, Moore. 



I have hitherto seen five specimens only, all females, of this species 

 from Sikkim, and one from the Kulu Valley {A. Graham Young). They all 

 differ from Mr. Moore's description of H. viola in having the upperside 

 uniform dark brown, not with the " lower basal and discal area of both wings 

 dull cyaneous blue." In other respects they agree with the description. 



235. Horaga species. 



Male. Uppeeside black. Foreioing with the discal white spot small 

 and distinctly indented at the nervules, outwardlj^ thrice, inwardly twice ; be- 

 low the median nervure basally cyaneous blue. Hindioing paler, the disc blue. 

 A fine marginal pale blue line, not reaching the apex. U]S"deeside bright 

 ochreous ; forewing with the discal spot divided posteriorly by a brownish 

 line, the spot not quite reaching the subcostal nervure. Sindwing with 

 the discal band somewhat narrow, white, inwardly nearly straight and 

 sharply defined with a dark brown line. The black spot on the anal 

 lobe large ; a large quadrate patch of irrorated black and white scales 

 beyond, then another large black spot in the first median interspace, 

 with a smaller linear one in the interspace beyond, all anteriorly defined 

 with a pale metallic greenish line, also a line of the same colour in continua- 

 tion of the discal white band, recurved to the abdominal margin. Female 

 larger, wings broader, apex of foreioing more rounded, discal spot larger. 

 Sindwing with the blue colour paler and more restricted ; four irrorated 

 bluish spots between the nervules at the anal angle within the marginal 

 pale blue line. Undeeside as in the male. 



The species described above may be known from Sikkim specimens of 

 H.ciniata by the ground-colour of the underside being bright ochreous and 

 the discal spot not nearly reaching the costa ; in this latter respect it agrees 

 with Sikkim specimens of H. viola, but is otherwise abundantly distinct from 

 that species. It is well figured by Hewitson (111. Diurn. Lep., LyccenidcB, pi. 

 xiv, figs. 32, 33, 1863) under the name Myrina onyx {Myrina syrinx on the
