PARNASSIUS. 125 



spot in interspace 3 and that in interspace 7. Underside : similar 

 to the underside in race stoliczkanus, with no red spots at the 

 base of the hind wing ; in a few specimens a discal and a sub- 

 costal black-encircled red spot are present. Antennae, head, thorax 

 and abdomen as in stoliczkanus. Anal pouch in the fertilized 

 $ as in fig. 32 a, b. 



Exp. <? $ 68-72 mm. (2-70-2-82''). 



Hab. Within our limits : Chitral, extending northwards into the 

 Hindu Khush. 



Eace stenosemus, Honrath. <$ $ . Upperside : ground-colour 

 as in stoliczkanus and hunza. The markings differ from those of 

 stoliczkanus chiefly as follows : Upperside: the discal transverse 

 band on the fore wing more strongly sinuate, in most specimens 

 bent inwards beneath the apex of the cell ; both discal and post- 

 discal bands comparatively broader, more heavily marked ; in no 

 specimen that I have seen is there any broad diffuse band of dusky 

 black scaling joining the two bands as in the Indian form of hunza. 

 Hind wing : the red spot in interspace 5 placed more inwards, 

 closer to the apex of the cell and more heavily encircled with black, 

 sometimes the red is absent and the spot is entirely black ; beyond 

 this there is a comparatively broad postdiscal dark band on which 

 is superposed a nearly complete series of black spots, the posterior 

 four of which are centred with blue ; this is followed by a very 

 narrow band of the ground-colour, sometimes complete, more often 

 indicated by white lunular more or less detached markings, and a 

 narrow dusky-black terminal edging bounded by an anticiliary jet- 

 black line. Underside : glassy, more or less like the upperside, the 

 markings indicated more by transparency from above than by 

 actual scaling. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen, and in 

 the fertilized $ the anal pouch, as in the races stoliczkanus, 

 hunza, &c. 



Exp. <5 ? 66-74 mm. (2-60-2-92"). 



Hab. Ladakh : Kutie Pass, 17,000 feet. 



Eace atkinsoni, Moore. $ . Similar to stenosemus, Honratb, 

 but can at once be recognized by the very large and conspicuous 

 tornal and discal red spots, which are encircled with black, on the 

 upperside of the hind wing. The subterminal series of spots 

 on the same wing is complete and all the spots are centred 

 with blue. 



Exp. $ 60 mm. (2-37"). 



Hab. The Pir Pingal range, N. Kashmir. 



Male unknown. 



Eace whitei, nov. st. tf- Upperside: dusky greyish black. Pore 

 wing : basal fourth white with a slight irroration of black scales ; 

 a preapical broad transverse bar in cell, a short similar obliquely- 

 placed bar beyond, that reaches from just below the costal margin 

 to base of vein 4, and transverse discal and subterminal complete 

 bands, white ; the latter two are crossed by the black veins, and
