Dr. Chapman states that huegeli 

 is oonspeoifio with coelestina : 

 I have left them separate for 

 the present : it is not a case of 

 seasonal variation but may be 

 dimorphism. Breeding expe- 

 riments are necessary. Hue- 

 geli does not occur in Chitral 

 though coelestina is common. 

 I place oreana and singalensis 

 here: in size, etc., they are 

 very like huegeli. 



L. bracteata is given by Scitz 

 separately as a race of argyro- 

 gnomon, Berg., the type speci- 

 men is an exact synonym of 

 samudra. The Chitral form 

 of samudra differs in having 

 the discal spots on the f orewing 

 below very enlarged. 



The Chitral form of cytis is 

 typical ; the form of iris is 

 rather darker than the typical 

 form from Alai,

The Chitral form of orbitulus 

 is very different to jaloka and 

 leela, jjeing more like the Eu- 

 ropean form : the male above 

 is a brilliant shining light blue 

 green, the outer margin being 

 rather broad, there are no 

 white spots above, 'the spot at 

 the end of the cell is black; the 

 female is brown with a white 

 encircled black spot at the end 

 of the cell and some obscure 

 white postdiscal spots : it is 

 larger than jaloba. I propose 

 to call it 2i'alU after Maj. F. 

 "Wall, I. M.S., who obtained a 

 good series at 12,000 feet in 

 July 1910. 



L pheretes lehana and asiatica 

 occur together in Sikkim. 



As pointed out by Swinhoe, me- 

 tallica and omphissa are sepa- 

 rate : Chitral specimens of 

 metallica are not so green as 

 the typical form. 



I have used Swinhoe's subge- 

 nera with addition of Tiora 

 andBruiia (cifc Polyommatus): 

 Tiora is for the simple eyed 

 section with metallic spots on 

 the hindwing below : a new 

 subgenus is perhaps required 

 for sebrus.
