Show 1892.] THE NAGA AND KAREN HILLS AND PERAK. 653 CYCLOPIDES SUBVITTATUSt G. subvittatus, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 692. Common in the Naga Hills. HALPE FUSCA, n. sp. (Plate XLIII. fig. 1, 3.) A single specimen was sent from Bernardmyo, which may be briefly described as like Halpe gupta, de Nicev. J. A. S. B. 1886, p. 255, t. xi. 1, but rather larger, with plain fringes of paler colour than the wings, and not spotted white as they are in H. gupta. The double sexual brand is the same, but the spots above it are wanting, as is also sometimes the case in H. gupta, and the apical spot is double and not triple as in all m y specimens of H. gupta. Below, the brown is paler than above, with the same spots on the fore wing, and the hind wing sprinkled with paler hairs. HALPE SIKKIMA. H. sikkima, Moore, P. Z. S. 1882, p. 407.

Hist. Soc. 1891, p. 388, t. G. 34 2 • Several males of this new species (from one of which it has been described by de Niceville) were taken at 5000-6000 feet in the Naga Hills.' ISOTEINON ATKINSONI. I. atkinsoni, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 693, t. xiv. 10. I. subtestaceus, Moore, 1. c. p. 844 ; Elwes, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1888, t. xi. 9. I. atkinsoni was taken in the Naga Hills in July and August, whilst I. subtestaceus was obtained in the Karen Hills in March and April. This agrees with Watson's experience, and goes to strengthen Moller's opinion that the two are seasonal forms of one species. PROC. ZOOL. Soc-1892, No. XLIV. 44 |
