nearly allied to A. Brahminus, but differs in its much smaller size, less sinuated 
margins, more slender central band, and on the underside in having a row of white 
spots placed in an arc outside the central band. I have seen three specimens of this 
species, which all appear to agree in size, pattern, and coloration.” Mr. Butler 
adds (Ent. M. Mag. 1868, 248) that “ the veins on the underside of the hindwing are 
powdered with whitish scales.” 
Expanse, ¢ ¢ 2+ inches. 
Hasitat (of type).—Between Nepal and Tibet Tartary. 
Both sexes smaller in size than typical Brahminus. Upperside. Forewing with 
the macular band composed of smaller and longitudinally narrower spots, the band on 
hindwing also composed of transversely narrower portions. Underside of both wings 
also with the bands narrower. Hindwing with the veins white-speckled throughout, 
and with a series of distinct small white spots, each with a dark brown outer border. 
Expanse, 2} inches. 
Distripu1ion.— The type specimen of A. Scylla, described by Mr. Butler, and 
now in the British Museum collection, bears a label with the inscribed locality of ‘‘ near 
Tibet,” which was evidently misread by that author for ‘‘ Silhet,” and was erroneously 
so printed in the original description. I was fortunate enough to discover this 
error of the locality on the label when examining the type specimen, and upon 
referring to the “ Museum Register ”’ it was found that this specimen was taken “ by 
Major Charlton between Nepal and Tibet Tartary.” There are also two female 
specimens in the British Museum, captured by Dr. Duthie “near Kutta, 13-14,000 
feet, N.-E. Kumaon, in August.” Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. 8. Beng. 1886, 118) 
records A. Scylla ‘‘ from the Pindari Glacier, and North Byeri above Furkya, North- 
West Kumaon, 12-14,000 feet; at Garbyan, 12,000 feet; Lepu Lek, 16,000 feet, 
North-East Kumaon,” remarking also that the prehensores are distinct from those 
of Brahminus. The latter has the uncus, seen from above, longer and its branches 
more slender. Seen from the side, Scylla has the uncus and its branches parallel 
and nearly in the same horizontal plane, and the top of the uncus is knobbed, while 
in Brahminus it is smooth, and the branches diverge downwards from it. The clasp 
has its upper limb toothed horizontally, in Scylla vertically. The present species is 
small, ochreous-grey below, with a discal line of white spots on the hindwing below, 
the band there crooked ; on the forewing below, the ocellus is pupilled with white 
and the band is wide and united. I have caught it flying with Brahminus, from 
which I consider it distinct, in the meadows near Furkya.”
