NOTi:S ON INDIAN BUTTERFLIES. 91 



(c) Jahrbuch des Nassavischen vereins fur Katurkunde Ixv, p. A, some 

 notes by Bryk. 



I propose to give an up-to-date list of the Indian and S. Thibet forms, 

 culled from these sources, referring to them by their letters when neces- 

 sary. 



(1). Hyptrnvmstra helios balucha, M ; Verity says balucha= maxima Gr.Or. , 

 but the B. M. type is a good deal smaller, (a). 



(2). Parnassius jacquemontii. Bdh ("Himalaya"). Nashing La & Chita 

 Ladak. 



r. himalayensis, El. (Lahoul). Kulu : Nila valley : Tonglon, Sikkim : 



Afghanistan ? ab. impunctata. Aust. (Sikkim). 

 r. chitralensis M. (Madaglasht, Chitrai). 



Avinoff in "Records of the Indian Museum" ix, 330, gives P, 

 rhodius chitralensis, Verity, from the Shandur Pass, Chitrai and 

 Darkot. I think he means P. jacquemonti chitralensis, M. 

 (3). Parnassius epaphus, Ober. (Kashmir). Skoro La. 

 r. phariensis, Avinoff. Phari jong, S. Thibet. 

 r. sikkimensis, El. (Kamba Jong, Chumbi Valley) 

 r. unnamed, a good deal larger than last. Native Sikkim. (a). 

 r. unnamed, darker, with very large spots. Phari Jong, Tongla 



Pass : and Yatsung, Sikkim ? (a), 

 r. unnamed, a very white form. Chitrai. (a). 

 (4). Parnassius discobolus insignis, Sta;. Avinoff in "Records of the 

 Indian Museum" ix., 330, records this from the Shandur Pass, Chitrai ; 

 I have specimens in my collection referable to this form. 



(5). Parnassius hardwickii, Grsiy, (lj2L({?ik). Chitrai to Sikkim. No races,, 

 aberrations or seasonal forms are given, (a). 



(6). Parnassius delphius stenosemus, Konrath. (Kutie Pass. Ladak). 

 r. stoliczanus. Fd. (Narka, Rupshu, Ladak). 



ab. atkinsoni, M. (Pir Parjal, N. Kashmir.) 

 r. lampidius, Fruh. (Kamba Jong, Chumbi Valley). 

 r. macdonaldi, Roth. (Yatung, Thibet), between lampidius and albulus 



ab Styx, Std. (a). 

 r. u?inamed, 1 2 froi^i Kulu, larger than stoliczanus. (a). 

 r. nicevillei, Avinoff. (b). Burzil pass, Kashmir : Zogila : Kishtwar 

 Mts. caught by Lt. Brownlow. Between stoliczanus and atkinsoni, 

 Avinoff has 70 specimens of this form, including two conspicuous 

 aberrations one of which is near cardinal, the 3 red ocelli being 

 very well developed ; he names it cardinalia, Avinoff'. The 

 specimens from the Zogi La and the Kishtwar Mts. have the 

 markings on the hindwing more developed and may be a separate 

 race. 

 r. mamaievi, Avinoff'. (b) W. Ladak. A member of the staudingeri- 



hunza group. 

 r. workmanni, Avinoff. (b). Saltoro Glacier, Baltistan, caught by 

 Mrs. F. B. Workman's expedition. Markings much reduced : 

 between mamaievi and hunza. 

 r. hunza. Gr. Gr., (Beik Pass, Hindu Kush). 

 r. chitralica, Verity, (Shandur Pass, Chitrai). 



r. kafir. Avinoff. (b). Mountains between Kila Drosh and Kafiristan, 

 obtained by Mr. A. Smith. No transverse discal band on the 

 forewing : the shape of the hindwing narrower and angled at 

 vein 6. 



It looks as if every mountain will be found to have its own race 

 of delphius, rather reminding one of the land snails in the valleys 

 of a certain Sandwich Island.
