ZOOLOGICAL GEOGRAPHY. 
[ PART III. 
a genus of Ceciliadae, is peculiar to the Khasya Hills ; Tylo- 
tritron (Salaman dridae) to Yunan in Western China, and perhaps 
belongs to the Palaearctic region. 
Of the tail-less Batrachians, Glyphoglossus is found in Pegu ; 
Xenophys in the Eastern Himalayas; while Callnla , Ixalus, 
Bhaeophonis, Hylurana, Oxyglossus, and Phrynoglossus, are com- 
mon to the Himalo-Chinese and Malayan sub-regions. 
Of the lizards, Colotes , Barycephahts, and Hinulia , — and of 
the Batrachia, Bnfo , — are found at above 11,000 feet elevation in 
the Himalayas. 
Insects. — So little has been done in working out the insect 
faunas of the separate sub-regions, that they cannot be treated 
in detail, and the reader is referred to the chapter on the dis- 
tribution of insects in the part of this work devoted to Geogra- 
phical Zoology. A few particulars may, however, be given as to 
the butterflies, which have been more systematically collected in 
tropical countries than any other order of insects. The Hima- 
layan butterflies, especially in the eastern portions of the range — 
in Assam and the Khasya Hills — are remarkably fine and very 
abundant; yet all the larger groups extend into the Malayan 
sub-region, many to Ceylon, and a considerable proportion even 
to Africa and Austro-Malaya. There are a large number of 
peculiar types, but most of them consist of few or single species. 
►Such are Xeope , Orenoma , and Bhaphicera , genera of Satyridas ; 
I'nispe (Morphidae) ; Hestina , Penthema , and Abrota (Nymplia- 
lidse) ; Dodona (Erycinidee) ; Her do, (Lycaenidae) ; Oalinaga, Teino- 
palpus , and Bhutanitis (Papilionidee). Its more prominent fea- 
tures are, however, derived from what may be termed Malayan, 
or even Old World types, such as Euplcca, among Danaidae ; 
Amathusia , Clerome , and Thaumantis, among Morphidae ; Euripus, 
Biadcma , Athyrna, Limenitis, and Adolias, among Nymphalidae, 
Zemeros and Taxila among Erycinidee ; Amblypodia, Miletus , 
Jlerda , and Myrina, among Lycaenidae ; Thyca , Prioncris , Pereas , 
Jphias, and Thestias among Pieridae ; and Papilios of the 
“ Amphrisius,” “ Coon” “ Philoxenus” “ Protenor ,” “ Paris’ * and 
“ & -arpedon ” groups. In the Himalayas there is an unusual 
abundance of large and gorgeous species of the genus Papilio,
