308 LYCANIDA. ZEPHYRUS. 
from the disco-cellular band, in Z. fcaza the two are run into each other, owing to the much 
greater breadth of the bands.” 
**T possess numerous specimens, including four females, of Z, dohertyi taken by Mr. P, 
W. Mackinnon at Tehri Gurhwal, near Masuri, 8,500 feet, in June; I also took four 
males on the Jalauri Pass, at about 9.000 feet, on the Kulu side, in July. As Mr. W. Doherty 
first pointed out the distinctness of this species,* I have much pleasure in naming it after him.”

The figures show the upper and undersides of both sexes of the type specimens from 
Tehri Gurhwal in my collection. 
873. Zephyrus mandara, Doherty. 
Thecla mandara, Doherty, Journ, A. S. B., vol. lv, pt. 2, p. 130, n. 155 (1886). 
HABITAT: Kumaon. 
ExPANSE : Not given. 
DESCRIPTION: MALE. * Allied to Z. tcaza, Moore, but whereas that species is [on the 
upperside] metallic over the disc of the hindwing and most of the forewing, interrupted 
by black veins, and appears green in some lights and violet in others, this species is only 
touched with obscure violet close to the base of the forewing ; the disc has a faint lustre, as 
if greasy. UNDERSIDE more rufous than Z. écava, the transverse discal line [of the forewing ] 
extends to the first median nervule, slightly bent inwards at its lower end ; the discal band of the 
hindwing is straight, the submarginal band rounded, both are tinged with reddish ; a blurred, 
obsolescent ocellus of black and reddish anally and subanally. Outer margin of the forewing 
strongly convex, sinuous ; outer margin of the hindwing not scalloped, abdominal margin 
not excavated, but straight or slightly convex. The prehensores, though generally resem- 
bling those of Z. icava, are quite distinct. Both are distinguished from Z. syla, Kollar, and 
Z. birupa, Moore, by the uncus seen from the side being divided horizontally ; in Z. zcana 
the upper lobe is slender, bent downwards, and projects beyond the lower ; in Z. mandara 
the upper lobe is straight, and shorter than the long and massive lower lobe ; the clasp 
(which in both species tapers obliquely upwards) here ends in a blunt, almost vertical point, 
while in Z, zcava it ends in a sharp horizontal beak ; the uncus in Z. dirupa and Z. syla is 
very different, being broad and entire, when viewed from the side.” (Doherty, 1. c.) 
I have not seen this species, but it can be easily discriminated apparently from its allies 
by the metallic coloration of the upperside being very restricted in the forewing, altogether 
absent in the hindwing. Mr. Doherty does not state in what part of Kumaon he took: it. 
874. Zephyrus ziha, Hewitson. 
Dipsas ziha, Hewitson, Ill. Diurn. Lep., p. 66, n. 5, pl. xxvi, figs. 4, 5, female (1865). 
HasiratT: Unknown (Hewitsoz) ; Kulu, Simla, Masuri. 
EXPANSE: @, 2, 1'2 to ¥'5 inches. 
D@scrRIPTION : MALE and FEMALE. “ UPPERSIDE, both wings grey-blue, the veins black. 
Forewing with the outer half dark brown, marked with two white spots. Ainxdwing with the 
outer margin broadly brown traversed by a line of white. Cz/ia white. UNbrERsIDE, both 
wings white, with a spot at the end of the cell and a transverse band of brown beyond the 
middle, both with the outer margin and two submarginal bands of brown. Forewing with 
two large spots of brown near theanal angle. imdwing with a black spot near the base 
of the tail, also a black spot at the angle, both bordered with orange.” (ewitsom, 1. ¢.) . 
I have seen but seventeen specimens of this species, one taken by Mr. A, Grahame 
Young in Kulu, one in Simla on 30th May by Colonel G. F. L Marshall, three in Masuri 
at 7,000 feet, in June and July, 1868, by Colonel A. M. Lang, and twelve also in Masuri by 
Mr. P, W. Mackinnon in May and June, 1888-89. On the upperside they are almost exactly 
like females of Z. sy/a, Kollar ; but agree in size and also in the character of the markings,
