364 Mr. H. J. Elwes’ catalogue of the 
intermedia, Stgr.), 4 from Japan, and 15 from the North- 
west Himalaya, that I think they must bear a dis- 
tinctive name. The only ones which approach them in 
coloration on the upper side are two from Lahoul, but 
these could easily be distinguished, though they differ 
more on the under side. 
This variety may be distinguished by the bright 
reddish colour of the wings above and the absence of 
any yellowish spots on the dark border of the hind 
wing, which are seen in all my North-western and 
Turkestan specimens. On the under side there are two 
types of coloration, the mottled one with complete 
C mark, and the dull brownish one with straight or 
imperfect C mark, both of which are seen in European 
c-album. The North-western specimens from several 
localities vary both on the upper and under sides even 
more than HKuropean ones, four from Kashmir being 
hardly, if at all, distinguishable from c-album, while 
others, one of which is named agnicula by Moore, are 
slightly different from the common type, and two from 
Lahoul approach the Sikkim form. These fifteen speci- 
mens vary extremely on the under side, having, in 
addition to the three typical forms in Europe, at least 
two other forms of coloration. Before agnicula can be 
separated from c-album, it must be defined, and that 
seems to me at present impossible.*

Symbrenthia hippoclus, Butt. Ind., u1., p. 240. 
Common up to about 6000 ft. more or less all the 
year round.

Symbrenthia hypselis, Butt. Ind., ii., p. 241. 
Common at elevations up to about 4000 ft. during 
most of the year. It seems a very variable species, and 
* Since writing the above I have seen other specimens from 
Ta-tsien-lo, in East Tibet, which agree perfectly with mine.
