to apex reddish brown ; a deep orange spot on the discocellulars 

 of both wings, that on the hind much larger than the spot on the

 or floury appearance ; the base and disc of the fore wing below a 

 line that would pass longitudinally through the cell sulphur-yellow ; 

 discocellular spots on both fore and hind wings dull ferruginous. 

 Antennae, palpi and head above reddish brown ; thorax with dull 

 yellowish-grey hairs, abdomen above black, on the sides yellow ; 

 beneath: the palpi, thorax and abdomen yellowish white. $ . Upper- 

 side : pale creamy-white, the reddish-brown spots at the apices 

 of the veins, the cilia of the fore wing, and the discocellular spots 

 as in the rf . Underside : white, with a greenish-yellow wash over 

 the anterior third from base to apex of fore and over the whole 

 surface of the hind wing ; the spots on the discocellulars of duller 

 reddish brown than on the upperside. Antennae, palpi, head and 

 thorax as in the c? ; abdomen black above, white on the sides. 



Exp. J 64-70 mm. (2-53-2-76"). 



Hob. Within our limits : the whole line of the Himalayas, from 

 Chitral in the extreme north-west to as far east as Darjiling (fide 

 ^Moore <$f de Niceville) ; Upper Burma : the Shan States. 



Race chitralensis, Moore. tf $ . Very closely resembles the 

 typical form G. rhamni, from which it differs structurally in the 

 median vein of the hind wing which is not so prominent, especially 

 on the underside, and in colour as follows : c? . Upperside, fore 

 wing : chrome-yellow at base, much lighter in shade than the rich 

 cadmium-yellow of G. rhamni, fading on apical half to white 

 faintly tinged with sulphur ; hind wing : basal third chrome- 

 yellow fading outwardly to white, more faintly tinged than on 

 the fore wing with pale sulphur. Underside fore wing : posterior 

 two-thirds white ; anterior third, apical area broadly, and whole 

 surface of hind wing pale salmon-buff with a curious minutely 

 granular appearance. $ . Upperside : as in rhamni $ , but of a 

 more creamy- white. Underside : also as in rhamni but of rather 

 a salmon-buff tint with a granular appearance. 



Exp. <S 2 52-66 mm. (2-08-2-6"). 



Hab. Recorded so far only from Chitral.
