SATYRINZ. 5 
Distripution.—“‘ This species is generally considered a rare insect, but in 1882 
it was found in great profusion by Mr. W. Doherty in the Bhagi and Narkunda 
forests, and again at Theog, in the neighbourhood of Simla, in August, flying freely 
during heavy rain, and alighting on the leaves of bushes and trees. It was con- 
spicuous when settled, and appears to have nothing protective in its coloration.” 
Col. A. M. Lang notes, “‘ Observed only late in the autumn, in a forest glade in the 
Himalayas, near a stream with rich vegetation about its banks.” His collection 
contained five specimens from the neighbourhood of Simla, taken at 9000 feet eleva- 
tion, and two from Lower Kunawar, at 7000 feet elevation. It is evidently a very 
local insect.” (Butt. India, 176.) Major Hellard, in his MS. Notes, records 
specimens from Ketruar, in the Valley of the Rupin River; taken in September. 
Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 117) records it from ‘* Dhankuri, Khati, Dwali, 
and Chaudans, at from 7000 to 11,000 feet in Kumaon.” ‘“ In Sikkim, this species 
seems rare, as Mr. Moller had never seen it until I got three specimens on Singalelah 
at 9000 to 11,000 feet, in July. It occurs higher up than its congener (Satricus), 
but seems to have much the same flight and habits. My Shikaris brought a few 
from the interior in 1888 and 1884. The female is rare.” (Elwes, Tr. Ent. Soc. 
1888, 322.) 
Inpo-Curyesz Species of RHAPHICERA, AND ALLIED Genus.—f. dumicola (Satyrus 
dumicola, Oberthiir, Etudes Ent. 1876, p. 29, pl. 4, fig. 7. Habitat, Moupin, E. 
Tibet.—Genus noy. Tartinca.—Allied to Rhaphicera. Forewing with the costa less 
arched, apex rounded, exterior margin very slightly concave in the middle; discocel- 
lulars outwardly recurved, upper radial close to subcostal, lower radial near the 
middle; upper median straight ; discal area clothed with long pale tridentate-tipt 
scales, a few shorter battledore-scales with dentate tips, and with many interspersing 
longer black androconia, which have a lengthened broad-bulbous base and elongated 
hair-like penicillated-tip. These androconia are about twice the length of those in 
Rhaphicera. Hindwing bluntly-ovate ; exterior margin very oblique and slightly 
scalloped ; discocellular undulated and angled in the middle, radial from the angle. 
Type.—Tatinga tibetanus (Satyrus tibetanus, Oberthiir, Etudes Entom. 1876, p. 28,
