very prominent, discal spots whiter than in the male, UNDERSIDE, forewing pale fawn- 
colour, spots prominent, a blackish streak outside the discal spots. MHindwing with the 
irregular discal band tinged with yellow. Ci/ia white, with inner black line on the forewing 
and black dentate spots on the hindwing.” (Afoore, 1. c.) 
Mr. Moore in the above description gives no indication to what species his Z. jaloka is 
allied, but from the description it appears to be of the orbitulus group. The figure of Z. 
jaloka shows a very curiously-shaped insect, the wings very long and narrow, the inner margin 
of the forewing very long, the outer margin very straight, giving the forewing a truncated 
appearance.

Polyommatus ellisi, Marshall, Journ. A. S. B., vol. li, pt. 2, p. 41, n. 6, pl. iv, fig. 4, male (1882). 
Habitat : Pangi, 12,000 feet, June ; Sanch Pass, Pangi, 14,000 feet, August. 
ExPANSE: 2, @, ‘9 to 1'05 inches. 
DESCRIPTION : “ MALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings dark greyish-black, the basal portions 
powdered with metallic greenish-golden scales, the outer halves with a bronzed sheen. ore- 
wing with a dark-centred white spot at the end of the cell, and a discal series of four prominent 
white spots sometimes dark-centred. Aindwing also with a white spot at the end of the 
cell, and a small white one above it near the costa ; a discal series of four white spots, 
corresponding with those on the forewing. UNDERSIDE, both wings creamy-white. Fore 
wing brownish on the disc, with the outer margin broadly paler, the spots of the upperside 
large, indistinct, and paler still. AHzdwing with the base metallic greenish-golden, deepening 
into brown up to the discal row of spots, the outer margin creamy-white, the spots of the 
upperside large, indistinct, white. FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings differ from the male in 
lacking the brilliant metallic scales.” 
‘“*The type specimen (which has been presented to the Indian Museum, Calcutta) 
was taken on the Sanch Pass in Pangi, North-West Himalayas, at an elevation of 14,000 feet 
above the sea in August, by Mr. Robert Ellis, after whom I have named it. Several other 
specimens were taken at the same time all corresponding with the type specimen. Others 
were taken in Pangi in June at an elevation of 12,000 feet, which have less of the metallic 
sheen, and have the white spots on the upperside considerably smaller ; these latter 
evidently belong to the same species, but whether they are seasonal or geographical varieties 
is uncertain.” (Marshall, l.c.)

DESCRIPTION : “ MALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings blackish, powdered up to the discal rows

both are present) geminate, all black with prominent white margins ; the outer margin almost
