The male of C. Neoza is distinguishable from that sex of C. pulchra by its 
somewhat smaller size, wider area of the brownish-ochreous patch on the upper- 
side, and in the absence of the transverse discal angulate line. Colonel Lang, in 
his original description of the male of Neoza (l.c. p. 35) certainly refers to this form, 
and in a letter received (dated January Ist, 1875) he says, ‘‘ The original Neoza (from 
which I deseribed) were larger than pulchella, and free from the angular transverse 
line outside the end of the disc.” 
Distrisution.—According to Col. A. M. Lang (Ent. Mo. Mag. 1868, 35), ‘‘ this 
species appears to be common in Goolmurg, Kashmir, although in Kunawur it 
seems to be rare and confined to only a few localities.” Our collection contains 
specimens taken by Major H. B. Hellard at “ Pangi and Runang Pass in 
Busahir ; at 10,000 to 12,000 feet elevation, in July and August, 1871, and at 
Tashgam in Dras River Valley, July, 1873.” Both sexes are in Mr. J. H. Leech’s 
collection, taken by Mr. McArthur at ‘“ Dana, June, 1888.”
