40 LEPIDOPTERA INDIOA. 
marginal line, and the subapical black spot, as on the upperside. Hindwing ochreous- 
cinereous, numerously covered with short blackish strigze and intervening speckles, 
which are thickest disposed at the base; veins prominently white lined ; crossed by 
an indistinctly-defined angulated subbasal and a more distinct medial-discal excurved 
angulated black line, the latter having a whitish outer border, and beyond is a sub- 
marginal distinct black sinuous line. / 
Female. Upperside slightly paler fulvous. Forewing with the base pale 
cinereous purplish-brown, the outer border somewhat darker; crossed by an inner 
discal diffused blackish line, which is acutely angled outward on the upper median 
veinlet, the line also extends along the subcostal and then sinuously and prominently 
edges the dark outer border, thus enclosing a discal fulvous band, within which is 
an upper and a lower black spot. Hindwing with the entire basal area and outer 
border cinereous purplish-brown, enclosing a prominent fulvous medial-discal band, 
which is edged with an inner and outer black sinuous line. Underside. Forewing 
somewhat paler; markings as in the male, except that the discal line is more distinct, 
and the submarginal line more sinuous, there being also two black spots of the same 
size as those above. Hindwing also somewhat paler, with the transverse black lines 
more acutely defined, the subbasal line more distinctly angled within the cell, and 
both the discal and outer sinuous line being pale-bordered externally. Body cine- 
reous-brown ; collar, side of palpi, and legs beneath cinereous-white ; antenne cine- 
reous-brown, tipt with ochreous, with a rather stout short club, the tip being obtuse. 
Expanse, ¢ 13 to 18, ? 2 inches. 
Hasitar.—Lahul ; Spiti; Deosi Plains, Stakpila Pass, N. Kashmir. 
Distaipution.—Dr. Felder (Reise Noy. 494) gives ‘‘Lahul and Spiti” as the 
localities of the type specimens. Under this species, a specimen of the female is 
recorded in * Second Yarkund Mission,” Lep. p. 1., as having been taken by the late 
Dr. F. Stoliczka at Leh in September. 
Major H. B. Hellard records it in his “MS. Notes” as having been taken on the 
** south side of Stakpila Pass in the upper part of the Boorzil Valley, North Kashmir, 
in July, 1873,” but whether these specimens of Major Hellard’s and those above 
noted from Leh refer to Htberni, as here defined, we are unable to certify. Mr. J. 
H. Leech obtained many specimens of both sexes in the Deosi plains N.-H. of 
Kashmir, at 13,000 feet, in August, 1887; others were taken by Mr. McArthur in 
the Chonging Valley, 15-17,000 feet elevation in July. Mr. L. de Nicéville (Butt. 
Ind. 190), under this species, records ‘‘ two females taken by Major J. Biddulph at 
Gilgit in August.” Neither of these two specimens, which are now before me for 
examination, agree with true Hiiberni. One of them, certainly, is not this species — 
it is a larger insect, with very much paler discal band on both wings, and is two 
and a quarter inches in expanse.
