1.3. Ixias dharmsal^, n. sp. (Plate XV. figs. 8, 9.) 



S . Bright lemon-yellow : primaries above with the base tinted 

 with greenish grey ; costal margin and apical half (enclosing a broad 

 orange belt, divided by black veins into eight areas) black ; lower 

 discocellular bounded internally by a nearly semicircular black spot, 

 which is partially confluent with the inner border of the apical area, 

 the latter reduced by the orange belt to a rather slender stripe : se- 

 condaries with a moderately broad, undulated, dark-brown outer 

 border : body greenish, with the prothorax slightly reddish in front. 

 Wings below of a less clear yellow than above, irrorated here and 

 there with little brovra mottlings ; internal area whitish ; a dark- 

 brown spot on the angle of the discocellulars ; veins terminating in 

 black dots : primaries with an indistinct zigzag series of squamosa 

 brown spots on the disk from the costa to the third median branch ; 

 secondaries with a red-brown spot on costal area near apex and 

 three others of different sizes on the inferior subcostal, radial, and 

 third median interspaces. Expanse of wings 2 inches 4 lines. 



5 . Bright sulphur-yellow : wings above with the black areas 

 nearly as in the male, but the belt of primaries sulphur-yellow tra- 

 versed by four transverse diffused black spots, the third of which is 

 alone separated from the black veins and surrounding black area. 

 Primaries below (excepting the apex, costa, and outer border, which 

 are lemon-yellow, and the internal area, which is whitish) sulphur- 

 yellow ; veins at apex and outer margin orange ; terminal black 

 dots and discocellular spots nearly as in the male ; a discal elbowed 

 series of six spots, the three uppermost of which are ferruginous and 

 the remainder blackish ; a blackish squamose patch at external 

 angle : secondaries more strongly mottled tlian in the male, with 

 two additional small red-brown discal spots, thus forming a series of 

 six, of which the first, third, and fourth are large and the three 

 others small and decreasing in size from the costal area downwards : 

 body paler than in the male. Expanse of wings 2 inches 3 lines. 



Dharmsala, N.W. Himalayas, 7000 feet.
