(7). Parnassius acco, Gray (Ladak). 



r. gemmifer, Fruh. (S. Thibet). Kamba jong (a). 



r. haileyi, South. (S. Yatung). 



r. hunnyngtoni , Avinoff. (b). Mountains between Sikkim and Thibet 

 caiTght by Mr. Hannyngton's collectors early in the year. Avery 

 small form. The dark basal area differs in contour from acco. 

 where it is irregular about the cell. In the male above the dark 

 markings are very red. Cilia are very long and of the ground 

 colour. In the female the pouch is shorter than in acco. Avinoflf 

 puts this race as a species distinct from acco.. 

 r. hampsoni, Avinoif. (b). Karakoram. 

 (8) Parnassius maharaja, Avinoff'. (b), Rupshu, 18,000 feet, Chinese 

 Turkestan and Karakoram. Near cephalus and szechenyi. I 

 imagine liupshu must be the Southern province of Ladak, but 

 that is a long way from Chinese Turkestan. 

 .(9) Parnassius acdestis, Gr. Gr. 



r. rupshuana, Avinoff'. (b). -Rupshu, Chinese Turkestan. 



r. ladakensis, Avinoff'. (b). one female from Shera La, E. Ladak. 



r. latonius, Bryk. Kangma, near Shigatse, S. Thibet. A heavily 



marked and large form of Acdestis lampidius, Fruh, from Sikkim. 



Acdestis is treated in Seifcz "Macrolepidoptera" as a race of delphius. 

 (10). Parnassius imperator augustus, Fruh. (Mountains between Sikkim 



and Thibet). Yatung (a).

 High mountains N. of Ladak. A small form. Localities given in 

 brackets are those of the type. 

 2,Q. Mr. Bethune Baker in T. E. S. 1913. p. 205-12, gives some notes 

 on the i^/'^osmV/ce. ; he states that JaZoA:a, M., is a distinct species 

 more nearly sllied to pTieretiades, Ev., than to orbitulus, Prun, and 

 that ellisi, DeN, and leela, DeN, are synonymous v^ith. jaloka. In the 

 Ent. Rec. xxvi, 135 and A, M. N. H. xvii, 378. he discusses the 

 synonymy of the Lycaenidse, or, as he calls them the Ruralidae, 

 Ruralis has been dug out and found to be older than Lyceena. It 

 is used as a generic name to replace Thecla plus Zephyrus. Heodes 

 has also been disinterred and is to replace the familiar Chrysop- 

 Jianus. Polyommatus has been taken for the argiis group of 

 Lyceena and boeticus, Ramb, put in Lampides along with 

 tslianus. The true Lyccenas are split up into a number of genera, 

 Lyceena itself being restricted to the non-Indian arion group, Mr, 

 Bethune Baker is working out a revision of the genus, which will be 

 extremely useful, but I wish he would not rob us of our familiar 

 names, nor multiply needlessly the many genera we already have 

 to deal with. His new classification is, I believe, to be based 

 solely on genitalia examinations, regardless of the habits, larval 

 stages, facies, etc.
