a very small subanal black spot with white pupil, and a submarginal lunular dusky 
line.

patch). Forewing with the inner edge of the discal band more acutely angular, and 
the outer edge lunular. Underside paler than in male, with similar markings, but 
less defined. Body cinereous-brown; collar, sides of palpi, and legs beneath

Disrrisurion.—Within our limits this species has been taken by Major Howland 
Roberts in the neighbourhood of Kandahar, who notes that it is “ very common at 
the beginning and middle of May in the nullahs and on the rocky slopes at the foot 
of the hills, resting under the shade of rocks and stones during the heat of the day, 
and flying about in the early morning and evening, when it is easily captured. In 
June scarcely a specimen was to be found.”’ (P.Z.S. 1880, 405.) Colonel C. Swinhoe 
also obtained it in S. Afghanistan, at ‘‘Chaman in May, at Quetta in May and 
September, and at Gwalin May. Fairly common.” It was also obtained by Colonel 
A. M. Lang at “ Quetta at 5500 feet elevation, in the Hanna Valley 6500 feet, and 
the Kawas Valley, 8000 feet elevation, where it was not uncommon among boulders 
in the gorges of the high valleys.” (Butt. Ind. 187.) 
Genus CHAZARA. 
Both sexes more robust than typical Eumenis (H#. Semele), and the general 
pattern of the markings en the upperside different. Matz.—Forewing more 
triangular, the glandular patch shorter, confined immediately below the cell, the patch 
clothed with laxly-raised outwardly-curved elongated broad-tipt dark claviform scales, 
interspersed with numerous longer very slender tapering dark androconia with 
feathery tips, the patch also being densely covered with overlapping hairs ; cell 
broader and shorter. Hindwing broader, more convex externally. Palpi much 
stouter, apical joint thicker and shorter. Antenne with a shorter, broader, spatular 
club. Hyes naked. Type. OC. Briseis.
