Tyrr.—C. Pamphilus (Linn.). 
This genus embraces a group of European and N. Asian butterflies, which are 
intermediate between typical Maniola (Jurtina)—the males of which possess an 
androconial patch on the forewing—and Ccenonympha, distinguishable by the above 
characters. It also includes the well-known CO. Typhon (Davus, Fabr.) and its allies. 
CHORTOBIUS PULCHRA (Plate 104, fig. 3, 3a, d 9). 
Epinephele pulchra, Felder, Reise Novara, Lep. 111, p. 491 (1867), ¢. Marshall and de Nicéville, 
Butt. of India, etc. i. p. 209 (1883). 
Imaco.—“ Male. Upperside as pulchella. Forewing with the fulvous patch 
less bright, divided by the fuscous veins, and cut through beyond the middle 
by an obsolete fuscous angulate streak, within which it is irrorated with 
fuscous ; the margin of the ground-colour beyond wider than in pulchella, the 
blackish spot larger. Hindwing irrorated with fulvous in the disc. Underside as 
in pulchella, but the patch of the forewing more restricted and brighter fulvous, 
divided beyond the middle by the streak of the upperside, but obscure ferruginous 
and more distinct, and the ocellus larger”? (Helder). Male. Larger than this 
sex of typical Neoza. Upperside similar, except that the brownish-fulvous patch 
on the forewing is duller and is less apparent, it is more restricted within the discal 
area, and thus leaving broader brown margins, it is also crossed by an indistinet 
angulate slightly-diffused brown discal line; the subapical black spot is also larger. 
On the underside, the greyish-brown borders on the forewing are also broader, the 
discal angulate-line distinct, the submarginal line is sinuous, and the ocellus much 
larger. 
Female. Upperside duller fulvous than in Neoza, the discal angulate brown 
line more distinct and diffused. Underside as in the male. 
Hxpanse, ¢ ? 1% to 1 inch. 
Hasirat.—N.-W. Himalayas. 
Disrripution.—Dr. Felder gives “ Kunawur; Pangi, Bisahir, and Chini” for 
this species. “ Mr. L. de Nicéville took several males at Dras and Tashgam, Ladak, 
in June; Mr. R. Ellis took it in Pangi in July; Mrs. Bazett obtained it in Kashmir 
at Baba Marishi, at 8400 feet elevation in June, at Katabal at 10,000 feet, and at 
Goolmurg at 9400 feet in July. Major J. Biddulph took a pair, male and female, 
on the Shandur plateau in northern Kashmir. Mr. A. Graham Young took a 
single female in the Kulu Valley” (Butt. Ind. i. 210). Specimens in our collection 
from Col. A. M. Lang, were obtained ‘below Rupin Pass, North, at 12,600 feet, in 
September,” a male also, taken by Capt. R. Bayne Reid at Goolmurg, and a male 
from “ Tashgam in Dras Valley, Ladak,” taken by Major H. B. Hellard.
