fine ferruginous-brown lines ; a ferruginous-brown patcH along dorsum from 

 base, terminating in a triangular spot before tornus, of which first half is dark 

 ferruginous-brown edged anteriorly with whitish and posteriorly with black 

 second half dark fuscous ; a fine blackish terminal line : cilia yellow- 

 whitish, sometimes with one or two faint ferruginous lines. Hindwings in ^ 

 pale ochreous-yellowish, dorsal half suffused with pale greyish, in ? light

Simla, in July ; nine specimens. A $ from Koni, Burrna, in October 

 (Manders), has base of forewings tinged with bright ferruginous, disc yellowish- 

 tinged, subcostal ferruginous line obsolete, posterior margin of cell marked with 



a curved dark ferruginous mark enclosing a fine white lunule, and followed b^ aq 



ovate pale yellow spot indistinctly edged posteriorly with ferruginous whence the 

 ^ dark veins originate, hindwings yellower and greyish towards base only, abdomen 



yellower ; it seems to be certainly only a local form of the same species.
