EUMENIS DIFFUSA.

"India, ete., i. p. 186 (1883). 
Twaco.—Male. Upperside similar to H. Semele, with the glandular patch on the 
forewing less prominent, the ochreous patches enclosing the ocelli obscured and more 
diffused, and also those between the intervening veins. On the hindwing the discal 
ochreous-band is very much broader, extending to the costa, and is uniformly 
ochreous from its sinuous outer edge to its medial angulated edge—this band thus 
being more like that in the female of Semele, and the subanal ocellus is not ringed 
with paler yellow. On the underside of the forewing the pale outer discal band 
is broader than in #. Semele. Hindwing similar, but more densely mottled. 
Expanse, 3 2% inches. 
Hasrtat.—N.-W. Himalaya. 
We have examined the type specimen of this species, now in the British Museum 
collection, and find that it is a male, not a female 
Mr. Butler in his original description. 
The only specimen we have had under examination is that of the type above 
referred to. Mr. A. Graham-Young (Ent. Monthly Mag. 1885, p. 130) records its 
capture as follows :— Hipparchia diffusa was, when I first took itin the Ravi Basin 
(I found it not uncommon in 1866 and 1867), at once recognized by me as merely 
a variety of H. Semele, and I had the less difficulty in coming to this conclusion, 
for whereas the specimens of H. Semele (which is very common in Persia) I took 
near Tabriz and other parts of Azerbijan, agreed exactly with English specimens, 
those taken in the Shemron, due north of Tehran, had a slight tendency to vary, 
and specimens from Sharood-i-Bostan and the mountains near Meshed showed a 
further, but still very slight variation. I have no doubt the ‘ missing links’ will 
turn up in Afghanistan, and that this form from the Ravi Basin, as far as we know, 
the eastern limit of H. Semele, will prove inseparable from the European type.”

Imaco.—Male. Upperside. Forewing dusky cinerescent-brown; with a more 
or less dusky-black inner discal oblique broad glandular patch, which is clothed with 
laxly-disposed raised outwardly-curved elongated clavate scales, interspersed with 
long bulbous androconia, having a fine hair-like end, and a divergent feathery-tip, 
these androconia varying in length, and some being extremely fine and hair-hke
