Epinephele pulchella, Felder, Reise Novara, Lep. iii. p. 490, pl. 69, fig. 16 (1867), g. Moore, Proc. 
Zool. Soc. 1874, p. 566. Marshall and de Nicéville, Butt. of India, etc. 1, p. 208, pl. xv. fig. 40, 
3g (left hand half only). 
Imaco.—Male. Upperside brown; cilia cinereous-brown. Forewing with a 
large fulvous discal patch extending to near the base; a rather large black sub- 
apical spot. Hindwing unmarked. Underside pale olivescent cinereous-brown. 
Forewing with the fulvous patch as above, the costal and outer border indistinctly 
flecked with browner strigw and hoary scales, the outer border edged with a very 
ill-defined brownish denticulated line; the subapical spot larger, white-pupilled, and 
encircled with a pale ochreous ring. Hindwing flecked with browner strige and 
hoary scales, and crossed by an ill-defined subbasal and a discal very flexuous 
brownish line, and a more macular submarginal line. 
Female. Upperside as in male, except that on the forewing there is sometimes 
a lower median small black spot. Underside also as in the male, except that on 
the forewing the ocellus is somewhat larger and has a slightly broader encircling 
pale ochreous ring, and sometimes having a very small spot between the lower 
median veinlets. Body beneath pale cinereous-brown ; hairs in front of palpi 
blackish-tipt; collar, sides of palpi, and legs beneath whitish-cinereous ; antennze 
brown above, whitish-cinereous beneath. 
Hxpanse, 613,21¢ to 1} inch. 
Hapirat.— Western Himalayas. 
Distinguishable from C. Neoza by the much brighter fulvous colour of the upper- 
side of the forewing in both sexes, and also in the absence of the transverse discal 
angulate brown line in both the male and female. 
Disrripution.—The localities given for this species by Dr. Felder (1. c. p. 490) 
are “ Spiti; Losar, Dishungdeo, Kibber, Shalkar, Lupshu, and Rumbog in Ladak ; 
Karnag; Niri Sumdo, 15,000 feet; Padam; Abrang; and Marsmag.” Mr. L. de 
Nicéville (Butt. Ind. 208) records the capture of a large series of the male and of a 
single female at Dras and Tashgam in Ladak, in June, and Major J. Biddulph took 
a male at Astor at 7700 feet altitude in September, “and that it appears to affect 
higher elevations and to occur further in the interior than H. Neoza.”” Major 
H. B. Hellard obtained it in Kashmir in September, 1872, and Mr. J. H. Leech 
collected specimens on the Skoro La, 12,000 feet, in July, 1887.
