1883] L. de Niceville — List of Butterflies taken in Sikhim. 99 



This species occurs in the Mergui Archipelago, also in Cachar, where 

 the female has sometimes an obscure series ol: ferruginous spots on the 

 upperside of the forewing across the disc, these spots are larger and paler 

 on the underside. It is a much smaller species than A. diodes^ Moore, 

 and the forewing is much narrower. 



261. Matapa druna, Moore. 

 A single female. 



262. Matapa sasivarna, Moore. 

 Both sexes. 



263. Matapa shalgrama, de Niceville. 

 A female only. 



264. Farnara narooa, Moore. 

 One male. 



265. Samara tulsi, de Niceville. 

 A single male. 



266. Farnara caJiira^ Moore. 



267. Parnara hada, Moore. 



268. Suastus gremius, Fabricius. 



This is a rare Sikkim species, but it is very common in Calcutta and 

 elsewhere. It rests with closed wings. 



269. Chapra mathias, Fabricius. 



270. Chapra prominens, Moore. 



271. Fadraona ? purreea^ Moore. 



I took a single female, it rests with closed wings. This species was 

 first described from the South Andamans, I have received specimens besides 

 from Orissa; Buxa, Bhutan ; and Chittagong. The male has a bare patch 

 at the end of the cell on the upperside of the hindwing on which is placed 

 an oval patch of closely packed scales. 



Ealpe sikkima, Moore. 



This is the ?Ealpe homolea of my last list. Mr. Moore in his de- 

 scription of this species does not refer to S. homolea, so I am unable to 

 say what are the differences between the two species. At low elevations 

 near water this is the commonest Hesperid met with. 



272. Isoteinon satwa, de Niceville. 



The males fly with immense rapidity, and continually fight with each 

 other in the air. They always, however, return to the same " perch", an 

 outer leaf of a bush, so are easily caught. They rest with closed wings. 



273. Cyclopides subvitlatus, Moore. 

 I took a Single specimen. 



274. Hyarotis adrastus, Cramer. 



275. Tug lades atticus, Fabricius. 



A singltj female, lb rests with outspread wings. The only point of
