Underside. Forewing also similar. Hindwing finely irrorated with brown scales— 
imperfectly forming strige, which are more densely disposed on the basal half, 
paler and less numerous on the outer half; crossed by an ill-defined subbasal, a 
medial narrow sinuous angular fascia, and a less-defined submarginal fascia ; a very 
minute apical and two anal black dots, the former disposed between the subcostals 
and generally blind, the two latter sometimes pupilled and ringed. The following 
is the original description of Y. Alemola. ‘‘Male and female. Upperside very 
similar to Y. Asterope, an African species. Underside much paler, and of a different 
hue, greyish-white, very plentifully covered with pale reddish-brown striz, more 
dense in the fore than in the hindwing. Forewings with a brown fascia from the 
costa round the ocellus back to the costa, diffuse and deep below the ocellus. Hind- 
wing with three sinuous fascie across the wing, the first before the middle, the second 
beyond the middle, the third submarginal; one or other of these fasciz is very 
often obsolete ; the striz is denser towards the base of the wing, leaving the outer 
half whitish; two anal and one apical blind dots, in the place of the well-formed 
ocelli with yellow wings of Y. Asterope, one or other of these dots is often wanting, 
in some specimens all are wanting.” 
Expanse, 1,%, to 1, inch. 
Hasrtat.—N.-W. Himalayas ; Western and Central India; Orissa. 
This species is allied to the N.-E. African (Aden) species P. Asterope of Klug, 
specimens of which from Lahej, in Aden, collected by Major J. W. Yerbury, are in 
our collection. 
Distrripution.—In the N.-W. Himalayas, the wet-season form of this species has 
been taken by Colonel A. M. Lang in the ‘* Simla Hills in June and July” (MS. 
Notes), and at Naini Tal. Col. C. H. T. Marshall took it in ‘‘Chumba, in March”’ 
(Butt. Ind. 225), and Col. Swinhoe possesses specimens from Col. Marshall taken 
at Chumba in April. Major J. W. Yerbury (Ann. Nat. Hist. 1888, 157) collected 
the wet-season form at Attock and Abbottabad in April, at Campbellpur and Hassan 
Abdal in June and July, at Kairabad in July, and at Abbottabad and Kala Pani in 
July and August. The dry-season form (Alemola) was also obtained at Attock in 
March and April, at Kairabad in April, at Campbellpur in April, at Akhori Hill in 
April, at Hassan Abdal in May, Kala Pani in May, and at Rawul Pindi and on the 
Murree Road in March and April. Both forms being common on the Hills round 
Campbellpur, and on the lower slopes of the Hills near Abbottabad.” Mr. W. Doherty 
doubtless refers to this species (Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 1886, 119), under Y. 
Asterope, as having been collected by him in Kumaon at ‘‘ Bagheswar, Takula, Lower 
Sarfu and Lower Gori, at 2000 to 6000 feet elevation.” In Western India, it has 
been taken at ‘ Hyderabad in Sind” (Butt. Ind. 225). Specimens from Mount 
Aboo are in Major Adamson’s collection. The late Mr. G. H. Wilkinson took it at
