COLIA3, 237 



terminal portions of the veins are prominently yellow with the 

 green shading above and below each vein slightly cleared, this 

 gives to the wings an appearance of markings resembling a trans- 

 verse subterminal sublanceolate series of bright yellow spots. 

 Fore wing : a black discocellular spot and some postdiscal trans- 

 verse black markings that decrease in size and become obsolete 

 anteriorly. Hind wing : a large yellow-centred reddish disco- 

 cellular spot joined to a conspicuous yellow streak in the cell ; 

 a slender line along the costal margin of both fore and hind wings 

 and the cilia pink. Antenna) and head salmon-pink ; thorax and 

 abdomen greenish yellow ; beneath : palpi, thorax and abdomen 

 whitish yellow slightly shaded with dusky black. $ . Very- 

 similar, but the ground-colour is somewhat richer on the upperside ; 

 the black border to the fore wing broader and only the posterior 

 veins across it are terminally yellow ; on the hind wing the 

 shading of dusky-black scales is more dense. Underside : almost 

 as in the d .

Hace berylla, Fawcett. <$ . Upperside : rich bright sulphur- 

 yellow, very pure in tint and very different from the ground- 

 colour of G. liyale; also much richer and brighter than in 

 C. ladakensis. Fore wing : base posteriorly and for a very short 

 way along the dorsum black ; costal margin slightly irrorated 

 with black scales ; an oval discocellular jet-black spot ; beyond 

 the cell the terminal third of the wing black, in most specimens 

 somewhat diffuse outwardly, the inner margin of the black area 

 irregular, sinuate, and between the veins slightly and diffusely 

 produced inwards ; medially this black border to the wings is 

 crossed transversely by a series of more or less elongate spots of 

 the ground-colour in interspaces 1 to 6 and 9 and 10; from each of 

 these spots a very fine slender line is carried nearly to the terminal 

 margin ; the spots are well denned, with the exception of those 

 in interspaces 1 and 3, which in some specimens are slightly 

 irrorated with black scales and thus have a tendency to become 

 obscure. Hind wing : dorsum broadly paler, the basal and 

 medial area of the wing right to the costal margin shaded with 

 dusky greenish-black, overlaid near the base by long pale recum- 

 bent yellow hairs ; this dusky-black area broken by a conspicuous 

 large discocellular spot of the ground-colour, centred with deeper 

 yellow, and a subapical elongate jet-black irregular patch; terminal 

 margin very broadly beyond the dusky-black area, of the shade of 

 the ground-colour, with a very obscure subtermiual broad band 

 of irrorated black scales that at the apex of the wing coalesce and 

 form a narrow, short, curved band. Cilia yellow ; of the fore 

 wing anteriorly and of the hind wing posteriorly pink. Underside : 

 yellow with a rich green tint, especially on the areas that on the 

 upperside are black. Fore wing: discocellular spot and three
