496 MR. F. MOORE ON DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA [June 13, 
line are pale green, the inner apical spaces being silvery white. 
Hind wing pale green, yellowish across the disk and along exterior 
margin ; basal and a transverse discal series of spots, and a marginal 
row of lunules, silvery white, those of the two former more or less 
with a black border, the latter bordered by a black marginal line; a 
few rufous-brown spots outside the discal series. 
Female of a deeper colour; markings the same, but larger. 
Expanse of ¢ 17, 2 2 inches. 
Hab. Upper Kunawur. 
Very common in Upper Kunawur ; not appearing in Lower Ku- 
nawur. This is a companion to the above (4. kamala)}, but only 
for some twenty miles of its furthest northern range, appearing 
first on the meadows of ‘“ Cheni,’’ the finest village of Kunawur ; 
this and the next ten miles appear its head quarters. I caught it, 
however, far to the eastward, on the bare, treeless, shrubless regions 
of the Zungcham River, in Tibet (an affluent of the Spiti). It flies 
from May till November. 
This species is allied to 4. clara, Blanchard, figured in Jaeque- 
mont’s ‘ Voy.’ Ins. pl. 2. f. 2, 3. 
64. MeniTma sINDURA, nD. sp. (Pl. XXX. fig. 2.) 
Wings ferruginous ; costa and base of wings blackish. Fore wing 
with narrow marginal band, two marks within discoidal cell, and two 
transverse series of discal spots black ; a series of black-margined, 
pale-centred submarginal lunules. Hind wing with the marginal 
black band and submarginal lunules as in fore wing, also a series of 
three small black spots from anal angle. Cilia white, spotted with 
black. Body ferruginous black. Underside—fore wing elear fer- 
ruginous, yellowish about the apex, with the discal markings as 
above, but less defmed, and a marginal series of yellowish lunules. | 
Hind wing with ferruginous base, yellow disk, a pale ferruginous 
submarginal and marginal band (each with bright ferrugmous spots), 
and an intermarginal series of yellowish lunules. Sexes alike. 
Expanse 12 ineh. 
Hab. Kongma Pass, N.W. Himalayas. 
This is very local, apparently. I have seen it but im one place, on 
one acre of ground I may say, on a patch of very stony pasture- 
land, at 16,000 feet altitude, on the “‘ Kongma”’ pass, leading from 
Kunawur into the Chinese province of Gughe in Tibet: ground not 
clear of snow for more than four months in the year. Here one 
day I saw a great number of these insects flying, an icy-cold wind 
blowing all the time, so that the insects were blown about, and never 
more than an inch or so above the ground. No other Lepidoptera 
near them did I see but a stray Colias edusa, and several Parnassii 
coursing up and down the snow-banks a little higher up.
