318 LYCANIDA. CHRYSOPHANUS. 
Description : “ Wings entire, forewing of the male fulvous, bordered with fuscous, 
hindwing and of the female both wings fuscous on upperside, forewing with nine black 
dots, hindwing with a marginal dentate fulvous fascia: underside, forewing yellowish, hind- 
wing cinereous, with numerous black ocellate dots, the fulvous fascia of the hindwing mare 
gined with yellow on toth sides.” (Xodlar, 1. c.) 
MALE. UPPERSIDE, forewing rich copper red, the costa narrowly, the outer margin 
broadly black, the black colour extending up the veins a short distance; on either side of 
the submedian nervure powdered with fuscous scales ; three black regularly-increasing spots 
in the discoidal cell, the basal one often obsolete ; a discal series of seven spots placed in 
echelon, three towards the apex, two divided by the second median nervule, and two in 
the submedian interspace conjoined. Aindwing coppery, but thickly overlaid with black 
scales except a small portion in the middle of the disc; a linear black spot at the end of 
the cell, two similar spots beyond it divided by the discoidal nervule ; a strongly lunular or 
arch-formed submarginal copper-coloured band. Ci/za of the forewing white, of the hindwing 
white marked with black at the end of the veins. UNDERSIDE, forewing bright orange, 
the outer margin cinereous, bearing an outer series of black dots and an inner series of 
prominent black spots; other black spots as on the upperside but encircled by a fine pale 
yellow line, an additional dot to the subapical series. Mindwing brownish-grey, with promi- 
nent black spots surrounded by a narrow whitish ring, three towards the base, three on the 
disc, two at the end of the cell, and nine beyond in an irregular linear series; beyond these 
latter is a prominent white band, then a series of black spots divided on the veins by the 
white colour of the band, then a series of orange lunular spots, with a round black spot on 
a band of the ground-colour placed outwardly against them, and lastly a fine anteciliary 
white line. Crlia of both wings pale fuscous, more or less tipped with white on the 
hindwing. FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, forewing differs from the male in the outer black border 
being broader, its inner edge more irregular, the black colour not extending along the veins, 
the base and lower inner half of the disc black, but divided by the orange-coloured veins, and a 
narrow streak in the submedian interspace ; all the black spots much larger. Aindwing like the 
male, but with no trace of copper colour on the disc, sometimes with a series of violet lunules 
placed close to the inner edge of the submarginal orange lunulated band, which in the male is re- 
presented by a purple suffusion in some specimens. UNDERSIDE, doth wings like the male. 
C. pavana is a fairly commen species occurring throughout the summer on the outer ranges 
of the Western Himalayas from Kashmir to Naini Tal at any rate. Mr. Doherty reports 
it from “ Kumaon generally 4,500-13,000 feet, local,” and Colonel Lang ‘‘ Naini Tal and 
Almorah 6,000 to 7,000 feet, June to August.” The prominent white band on the under- 
side of the hindwing will distinguish this species from any other ‘‘ Copper ’’ known to me.

Europe and in Siberia]. MALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings brilliant metallic brassy copper-red. 
Cilia black, edged with white. Forewing with a narrow jet-black costal edge and outer marginal

larger spot crossing the end of the cell ; [three decreasing spots on the disc,] a curved series of 
four black spots from the costa before the apex, a submarginal series of black dentate lunules,
