Show 1891.] THE NAGA AND KAREN HILLS AND PERAK. 273 TERINOS ROBERTSIA. T. robertsia, Butl. Ann. Nat. Hist. ser. 3, xx. p. 399, t. viii. (1867). Several pairs of this pretty species from Perak. TERINOS CLARISSA. ? T. Clarissa, Bdv. Sp. Gen. i. t. ix. 4 (1836); Butt. Ind. ii. p. t. xxiii. 101 6- ? T. teuthras, Hew. P. Z. S. 1862, p. 89 ; Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 183, t. x. 6 6 • A single male from Perak agrees with de Niceville's figure of a Tenasserim specimen except in wanting; the white spot on the underside and having the velvety patch of fore wing rather larger. It agrees even better with Distant's plate of T. teuthras, but without seeing a series I am not able to say whether there are two species or not. A Bornean specimen in my collection has the ochreous border of the hind wing very much larger and brighter than the Perak one. STIBOCHIONA NICEA, yar. Adolias nicea, Gray, Lep. Nepal, p. 13, t. xii. 1 (1846). Stibochiona nicea, Butt. Ind. ii. p. 120, t. xix. 81 6 • Doherty sent four males and one female from the Karen Hills taken at about 4000 feet, of which one was marked by him " new sp.," and which at first sight seem very different from S. nicea and nearer to the Javan S. coresia. They are small, with a broader white border to the hind wings than is found in Indian specimens and a second blue line inside this border. I have, however, females from Bhutan and Khasia which are nearly the same, and therefore doubt the propriety of separating them. No species of this genus is recorded by Distant from the Malay Peninsula. Mr. Doherty calls attention to the hairy eyes in this genus, which he says is its most remarkable feature. HELCYRA HEMINA. B. hemina, Hew. Trans. Ent. Soc. ser. 3, ii. p. 245, t. xv. 1 (1864); Butt. Ind. ii. p. 45, t. xix. 83 6 • One male from the Naga Hills aud four from the Ruby-Mine district, taken in June. SEPHISA CHANDRA. Castalia chandra, Moore, Cat. E. I. C. p. 200, t. vi. a. 4. Sephisa chandra, Butt. Ind. ii. p. 46. Two males from the Naga Hills agree with Sikkim specimens. APATURA ULUPI. A. ulupi, Doh. J. A. S. B. 1889, p. 125, t. x, fig. 2 o% One of the types of this very distinct species was sent by Doherty from Margharita and is in my collection. PROC. ZOOL.
