angle in a zigzag line, a paler brown Junular submarginal fascia and outer band, a black- 
bordered orange patch at the anal angle containing two black spots joined by a blue streak.” 
(Moore, 1. c.) “ FEMALE, rather larger than the male. UppersiDE, o/h wings dark smoky 
brown. Forewing with two bright ochreous spots placed obliquely beyond the discoidal 
cell.” Otherwise as in the male. (Butler, 1. c.) 
On p. 268 of the ‘* Mémoires sur les Lépidoptéres,” vol. iii, Dr. C. Fixsen states 
that “ Difsas” micans, Bremer and Grey,=scana, Moore. Unfortunately I have not seen 
the former species, which occurs in China, but to judge from the figure of it in Ménétriés’ 
Cat. Lep, Mus. St. Peters., pl. iv, fig. 3, seems to be distinct from Z. zcaza. On the under- 
side of the forewing in Z. icaxa the discal band is wider and ends at or before the first 
median nervule, in Z. micans it extends to the submedian nervure ; on the hindwing the 
discal band in Z. zcava more or less includes the disco-cellular mark, in Z. micans the discal 
band is much narrower, and is well-separated from this mark. Z, micans shows an orange 
submarginal spot on the upperside of the hindwing in the first median interspace, this is 
absent in Z. zcana. 
Colonel A. M. Lang, R. E., took this species at Narkunda, near Simla, 9,000 feet, at the 
end of July and beginning of August ; I took it on the Jalauri pass, between the Kulu and Simla 
districts, at the end of July; Mr. A. Grahame Young has taken it in Kulu at 7,000 feet in July, 
and at 8,000, 8,800, and 9,000 feet in September ; and Mr. Doherty has taken it in Kumaon. 
It does not appear to be a very common species,

DESCRIPTION: “ MALE. UPPERSIDE, both wings black. Forewing with the black area 
confined to the costa narrowly, the outer margin broadly and increasingly to the anal angle, 
and the inner margin narrowly ; the rest of the surface extremely dark iridescent green varying 
to iridescent purple according to the play of the light, crossed by the black veins. Hindwing 
with some streaks of the same colour between the veins onthe disc; anal lobe and tail (the 
latter tipped with white ) obscure reddish. UNDERSIDE, doth wings reddish-brown, sometimes 
ochreous-brown ; the discoidal cells closed by a narrow red band outwardly defined with 
black. Forewing with a waved discal red band, its outer edge irregular, and defined with 
a fine black, then a silvery line, extending from the costa to the first median nervule; a 
submarginal increasing macular dark fascia, the apical half of the outer margin reddish. 
Hindwing with a broader discal red band than in the forewing prominently outwardly 
defined with a silvery line ; a submarginal lunular red band, which is bent upwards at the 
anal angle and continued some distance along the abdominal margin, where it is inwardly 
defined, as are also the two lunules next it on both sides, with a fine silvery line; a series of 
red lunules on the margin; ¢ai/ red. Cilia cinereous throughout. FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, 
both wings black. Forewing with an irregular orange spot placed outwardly against the 
disco-cellular nervules, and another similar spot placed below and beyond it in the second 
median interspace, sometimes extending diffusedly into the interspace below; the discoidal 
cell and a patch in the middle of the submedian interspace rich purple (never green in 
some lights); this colour sometimes entirely absent. Ainxdwing unmarked. UNDERSIDE, 
both wings as in the male.” 
“May at once be distinguished from Z. izcaza, Moore, by the discal band of both 
wings on the underside being narrower and outwardly defined with a bright silvery line; the 
two lunular marginal bands in Z. dohertyi on the underside of the hindwing are also more 
prominent and deep vermilion throughout, in Z. icana they are more orange, and that 
colour is confined to the anal angle, The discal band on the hindwing below is always distant
