HESPERIA. 155 



This species is recorded from N.-W. India (Butler); Quetta (SwinJioe); 

 Kandahar (Swinhot). I -obtained what I believe to be this species at 

 Quetta in June and July ; my specimens agree very well with Mr. de 

 Niceville's figure referred to above, and not with Mr. Moore's figure of 

 P. draviva. Mr. de Niceville's figure is taken from a specimen obtained by 

 him at Budrawar in Cashmere.

 Karachi (Swinhoe); Orissa (Taylor) ; Calcutta (de Niceville); Kangra, N.-W. 

 Himalayas (Moore); Kumaon (Doherty) ; Nilgiris (Hampson). 



I have this species from Berhampore, Ganjam, and the Nilgiris. 



I also have a single specimen from Poungadaw, Upper Burma, which 

 Mr. de Niceville considers belongs to this species. Indian specimens are 

 considerably smaller and differ slightly in markings.
