spots are more prominent, usually there is a conspicuous series of submarginal orange spots to 
both wings, and the discal white streak on the hindwing is frequently less prominent than in 
the male.

LZ. stolicskana, Felder, Reise Novara, Lep., vol. ii, p. 283,_n. 360, pl, xxxv, figs, 10, x1, male (1865). 
Hasitat: Ladak (Fe/der). 
EXPANSE: ¢, 1°25 inches (from figure). 
DESCRIPTION: ‘MALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings pale metallic-cyaneous, the external 
margin fuscous, the ci/ia whitish, UNDERSIDE, doth wings pale hoary-brownish, at the base 
(especially -in the hindwing) black and powdered with metallic-greenish, a whitish diffused 
disco-cellular spot, in the forewing divided by a brown litura, in the hindwing connected 
hindwardly with a whitish vittula, with whitish subcuneate spots before the margin, interrupted 
in the middle with fuscous spots; on the hindwing the two last but one marked with a minute 
fualvous spot in each inwardly powdered with black, a striga inwardly hoary-, outwardly 
blackish-fuscous, and another inwardly somewhat silvery, outwardly hoary-brownish before 
the cilia, FEMALE. UPPERSiDE, 40h wings pale smoky-fuscous, darker at the base and 
powdered with bluish. Azndwing with whitish external evanescent spots. UNDERSIDE, 
both wings asin the male, but forewing with the whitish exterior spots obsolete, more or less 
dotted with black, and the antemarginal spots of d0¢4 wixgs adorned inwardly with minute 
increasing golden-fulvous spots sprinkled with black.” 
“‘Very distinct from the allied Z. dory/as, Wiener Verzeichniss, by the considerably 
shorter hindwing.” {(Fe/der, 1. ¢.) 
I took several specimens of what appears to be this species at Zara in Ladak at the end 
of June, 1879. They agree in size exactly with the figure of Z. stoliczkana. They seem, 
however, to be but dwarfed specimens of Z. ariana, Moore, with some specimens of which 
they agree absolutely, except in size. Z. dorylas, Wiener Verzeichniss, from the European Alps, 
appears to me to be precisely similar in coloration and markings to both Z. ariava and the 
specimens I identify as Z. stolicekana, and just intermediate between them in size. As figured, 
L. stoliczkana appears to be quite unique in this genus, as the markings of the underside are 
reduced to a disco-cejlular spot, and some obscure marginal markings, the prominent discal 
series of spots to both wings and the basal spots to the hindwing, which are characteristic 
of all true Zycene, being entirely wanting in Felder’s figure, though present in the specimens 
I doubtfully identify as Z. stoliczkana.

HaBITAT: Kangra District (AZoore) ; Sinde Valley, Kashmir. 
EXPANSE : 1°4 inches (AZoore) ; 1° to 1°2 inches. 
DEscRIPTION: ‘‘Near to Z. botsduvalii, Werrich-Schaffer, and to Z. ariana, Moore. 
UPPERSIDE, Joth wings darker glossy blue, the marginal band narrower; no dusky streaks 
ascending the veins. Aindwing with the marginal spots less prominent. UNDERSIDE, doth wings 
lilacine ochreous-grey, darkest on the hindwing. Forewing, markings similar to LZ. doisduvalit, 
except that the spot within the cell is further from the disco-cellular lunule, this spot being 
situated inward of the end of the first median nervule; the discal row of spots are more 
linearly disposed, the marginal spots having their red inner borders more slenderly black-lined. 
Aindwing with a black centre to the disco-cellular lunule ; upper discal spots nearer together, 
thus giving a wider space between the upper one and the basal spot; tke red borders to 
marginal spots are somewhat broader and more slenderly black-streaked.” (AZoore, 1. c.) 
I possess a male of this species taken by me inthe Sinde Valley, Kashmir, in June, 1879, 
which has been named Z, swtleya by Mr. Moore. It is smaller than the dimensions given by 
Mr. Moore for this species, and is very near indeed to ZL. stoliczkana, Felder, differing only, as 
far as I can see, in the colour of the ground on the underside, which is browner, with the orange 
lunules on the outer margins, especially on the hindwing, much more prominent. Mr,
