Show 1892.] THE NAGA AND KAREN HILLS AND PERAK. 651 SUASTUS ADITUS. S. aditus, Moore, J. A. S. B. 1884, p. 49. A single specimen from the Karen Hills agrees with Sikkim examples. TELICOTA AUGIAS. ? Pap. augias, Linn. Syst. Nat. i. 2, p. 794 (1767). Telicota augias, Wood-Mason & de Niceville, J. A. S. B. vol. Iv. pt. ii. p. 384, no. 224, t. xvii. fig. 1 3 (1886). ? T. bambusce, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 691, t. xiv. 11, 12. Specimens from the Naga Hills and Perak, which I am still unable to compare with Javan specimens, from which Moore separated T. bambusce. Whether the typical T. augias is distinct from what is so called in India I therefore cannot say ; but I am unable to separate two species among my large series by the characters given by Moore or by Wood-Mason and de Niceville l. TELICOTA SIVA. Pamphila siva, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 692. Common in the Karen Hills and also sent from Bernardmyo. The female differs from the male in being somewhat darker and has no sexual brand, which is conspicuous in the male, and by the form of which I distinguish this species from T. brahma, Moore, found in the N.W. Himalayas, In two of the males from Bernardmyo the spots on the hind wing are somewhat differently placed and the general colour darker. These may be of a distinct species, but the material is insufficient to enable me to describe it. PADRAONA DARA. Hesperia dara, Koll. Hiigel's Kaschm. iv. p. 455 (1848). Pamphila meesa, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 509, t. xxv. 9. Sent from the Naga and Karen Hills, but does not seem to be abundant. PADRAONA MCESOIDES. Pamphila mcesoides, Butl. Trans. Linn. Soc, 2nd ser. Zool. i. 1879, p. 554. Padraona mcesoides, Doh. J. A. S. B. 1886, p. 139. 1 P. sunias, Feld. Sitz. Ak. Wiss. Wien, math.-nat. CI. xl. p. 462 (1862). Naga Hills, Burmah, and Perak. I have a large series of specimens from different parts of India, as well as from the Andamans, Nias, Hongkong, Java, Borneo, and the Philippines, which seem to belong to one species, though there is considerable variation amongst them; and it is possible that there may be anatomical differences which I have not detected. 1 Mr. de Niceville, who has numerous examples from Java, since assures me that they are distinct and that he has specimens of both species from Central India. |
