Co LIAS ERATE ?. 



IPapilio erate, Esper, Ausl. Schmett. i, 2. pi. 119. f. 3. 



Male. Clear yellow : fore wing with the marginal band of a similar 

 form to that in C. eclusa and C. Jieldi, unspotted, of a cuprescent- 

 brown colour, and of the same width except at the apex, where it is 

 broader owing to the more pointed form of wing ; the band also has 

 the curvature of its inner border as in those species, and its upper 

 end with distinct streaks extending for a short distance along the 

 anterior veins : hind wing with the band and discal spots similar to 

 those in European C. erate. Underside paler than in C. erate ; 

 discal spots less distinct, the discoidal spot on fore wing entirely 

 black, that on hind wing large with whitish centre and lobate red 

 border. 



Expanse 2 inches. 



This has the apex of the fore wing more prolonged than in Euro- 

 pean C. erate, the angle more acute, and the exterior margin more 

 oblique. 



COLIAS LATIVITTA, U. Sp. 



Male. Yellow : fore wing with a broad unspotted blackish band, 

 the inner border of which is angulated inward at the upper median 

 vein ; the band very sparsely yellow-speckled on the anterior veins ; 

 discocellular spot large, black : hind wing with a broad blackish 

 crenulated band and a large orange-yellow discocellular spot. 

 Underside olivaceous yellow : fore wing with a black discocellular 

 spot and a distinct discal row of spots : hind wing with a moderate- 

 sized dull pearly-white red-bordered discocellular spot. 



Female. Yellow, or white ; the band on fore wing broader than in 

 male, and with not very prominent upper and lower yellow spots ; 

 the discocellular spot distinct : hind wing darker, with broad mar- 

 ginal band traversed inwardly by large ill-delined yellow spots; 

 discocellular spot brighter red. 



Expanse 1| to 2f inches. 



Hab. Nepal (type) ; Kunawar ; Kangra {Hockiriff). Cashmere 

 (He/lard). In coll. F. Moore and British Museum. 



The colour in this species is of a deeper yellow, and the bands on 

 both wings are conspicuously broader than in the preceding (O. 

 pallida) or S. -Russian specimens of C. erate.
