26 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 
Major J. W. Yerbury (P. Z. 8. 1886, 357): “Common between Bugnoter and 
Abbottabad, 4000-5000 feet, September; between Abbottabad and Kali Pam in 
September ; also on the lower slopes of Thundiani; seen near Tret, in October.” 
Common also on the hills round Abbottabad in August, and common at Kairabad 
in May and June. Seen also at Attock.” (Ann. N. H.1888, 134.) Major Howland 
Roberts (P. Z. S. 1880, 405) obtained it in the neighbourhood of Candahar in 1880 ; 
it “frequents nullahs and shady places, and may be caught by dozens at a time. 
Abundant but local at the end of May, and in June in shady, moist places among 
the low, rocky, barren hills.”’ Colonel C. Swinhoe (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1885, p. 388) 
records its capture at Mach, Bolan Pass, Beluchistan, in July and August, 1879 ; 
and at Chaman and Balgoi in May, 1880. The type specimen described by Kollar 
is recorded from 8. Persia.

Iuaco.—Male. Forewing broad, triangular, base hairy ; costal vein swollen at 
the base; costa slightly arched, exterior margin oblique and slightly convex; with 
an indistinctly-defined dusky-black inner discal glandular patch, which is clothed with 
moderately long broadly-oval dentate-tipt pale scales, very long narrow foliate acutely- 
dentate tipt scales, interspersed with long blackish androconiat with lengthened 
bulbous base and short hair-like end and tasselled tip; cell long, more than half 
length of wing; discocellulars recurved, upper angled close to subcostal, upper radial 
from the angle, lower radial from above the middle. Hindwing broad, base hairy ; 
exterior margin convex, slightly scalloped, anal angle rounded; cell half the length, 
rather broad ; discocellulars recurved. Palpi clothed with fine long hairs in front to 
the apex. Antennx rather slender, with a lengthened slender club. 
CaterPittar.— A. Swaha. Colour probably black, but so very thickly clothed 
with short bright yellow hairs, that it is almost impossible to see what its ground 
colour is; head and legs black. Found upon the wild blue Iris.” 

* Preoceupied in 1804 for a genus of Mammals. 
+ In A. Swaha, Loha, and Chumbica the androconia are absent, though the patch is present. In the 
European species, Proserpina, the androconia are very slender, with an attenuated lengthened truncate 
base.
