Of the above, P. m. macroloiolia and its various sub-species in- 

 habit India from the extreme North- West and the borderland of 

 Baluchistan and Afghanistan to Western Tibet, we then have meyeri

 comes P. X. xanthospila and its geographical races in Eastern Tibet 

 and Western China, and finally in the extreme East P. d. darwini 

 and joretania.
