CYRESTIS RAHRIA. C. rahria, Moore, Cat. E. I. C. p. 147, t. iii. a. 2; Butt. Ind. ii. p. 256. Appears to be common at Perak. KALLIMA INACHUS. Paphia inachus, Bdv., Cuv. Reg. Anim., Ins. ii. t. 139. 3. Kallima inachus, Butt. Ind. ii. p. 261. Kallima limborgii, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 828 ; Butt. Ind. ii. p. 262. Occurs in the Naga and Karen Hills and Ruby-Mines districts. I can see no reason for separating the Burmese form from that found in Sikkim and the Naga Hills, as they vary in all the characters mentioned by Moore and de Niceville. KALLIMA PARALEKTA. Paphia paralekta, Horsf. Cat. E. I. C. t. 6. fig. 4 (1829). K. buxtoni, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1879, p. 10; Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 429, t. 37. 2. Seems uncommon at Perak. The specimens sent by Doherty agree with Distant's figure and seem to me inseparable from Javan specimens. KALLIMA KNYVETTI. K. knyvetti, de Nicev. Butt. Ind. ii. p. 267 (1886). IK. alompra, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1879, p. 14. Seems to be not uncommon in the Naga Hills at about 5000 feet. The female, which is undescribed, differs from the male in having the apex of the fore wing very much produced and a large hyaline spot. Whether K. alompra is the same or not I cannot say ; but if it really occurs in Burmah it is probably the same, as no other blue Kallima has been taken in Burmah to m y knowledge since it was described, and by the description it cannot be separated. As, however, this must remain uncertain, I thiuk de Niceville's name had better stand. CHARAXES DELPHIS. C. delphis, Doubl. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1843, p. 217, t. vii. ; Butt. Ind. ii. p. 272. Two specimens from the foot of the Karen Hills. CHARAXES SCHREIBERI. Nymphalis schreiberi, Godt. Enc. Me'th. ix. Suppl. p. 825. Charaxes schreiberi, Butt. Ind. ii. p. 274. Doherty picked up a tattered male of this insect in the streets of Toungoo. |
