Fawcett (P.Z.S., 1904 (2), PL 9, fig. 10a, 2) as Colias eogene 

 var. leechi Gr.-Gr., $. 



The female described by Elwes — whicii is in the B.M. — 

 as his 9 type of duhia is really a $ of C. miranda Friihst., 

 and it agrees with the types of that form which are also in 

 the B.M. For the sake of comparison the actual type 

 specimens of C. duhia and C. miranda are here figured. 



What is really the status of each of these forms it is 

 difficult to say. The most likely hypothesis seems to be 

 that C. miranda is the Himalayan, C. duhia. the more truly 

 Tibetan representative of C eogene, to the Ladak form of 

 which {stoliezkana) they show most resemblance.
