$ . Upperside : deep brownish black, with the following white 

 markings in addition to a broad sullied white streak that is suffused 

 with yellow at its apex and fills the basal three-fourths of 

 interspaces 1 a and 1 on hind wing : Pore wing : a slender streak 

 near base of cell, four spots at apex, the anterior three placed 

 obliquely ; two slender somewhat curved streaks from near base 

 of interspace 1, Avith a series of elongate ctiscal spots in the inter- 

 spaces 2 to 6, followed by a subtenninal series of elongate spots or 

 short narrow streaks in interspaces 1 to 7, the streak in interspace 1 

 double ; finally, a pretornal short streak on the dorsum and a large 

 subcostal spot produced outwards as an obscure slender streak in 

 interspace 9. Hind wing: a streak in eel) with a discal series of 

 spots beyond, followed by a subtenninal series of spots. Underside : 

 black, this colour of a deeper tint on the hind wing; markings as 

 on the upperside, but all the spots arid streaks larger, broader,, 

 more clearly defined ; the anterior two or three subtenninal 

 markings on the fore wing and all the markings including the 

 broad stripes in interspaces 1, 1 a on the hind wing, rich chrome- 

 yellow. Antenna?, head, thorax and abdomen black, thorax above 

 clothed with long dusky greenish-grey hairs. 



Dry-season brood. J differs from the c? wet-season brood as 

 follows: Upperside, fore wing: the black at apex and along the 

 veins more restricted. Hind wing : uniform white flushed with 

 yellow, the veins not edged with black towards their apices, terminal 

 margin with a very slender black line. Underside : on both fore 

 and hind wings the black much more restricted, on the fore wing 

 it enters the cell only anteriorly and is confined to the apex and 

 to a narrow edging along veins 3, 4 and 5 ; on the hind wing 

 only an edging to the median vein posteriorly, bases of veins 1 a 

 and 1, an edging to vein 7, the greater part of interspace 7 and 

 dilated edgings at the terminal end of each vein, are black ; the 

 rest is yellow, the veins on outer half of the wing narrowly white- 

 bordered. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in the wet- 

 season form. 2 very similar to $ of wet-season brood ; differs 

 as follows: Upperside hind wing: the white streak in cell 

 broader, below the cell a large patch of chrome-yellow that occupies 

 the dorsal and pretornal areas but does not extend above vein 3 - f 

 the discal white spots in interspaces 4, 5 and much larger. 

 Underside : as in the wet-season form, but the ground-colour of the 

 fore and hind wings alike a dull sepia-black ; the markings 

 similar to those in the wet-season form, but the yellow in inter- 

 spaces 1 a, 1, 2 and 8 of the hind wing more extensive, in the 

 latter three the interspaces are edged with white. Antennae, head^ 

 thorax and abdomen as in the wet-season form.

Hab. Himalayas; Mussoorie; Sikhim ; Bhutan ; Assam; Burma; 

 Tenasserim ; the Shan States ; extending to Siam. Mr. Mackinnon 

 informs me that General Buckley discovered it at Mussoorie. It 

 probably extends all along the Himalayas from Sikhim to 

 Mussoorie.
