huegeli, M. The species is evidently a member of the argiolus group and 

 may be easily recognised by the broad black outer margin in the male.

 September. 



156. Liiccena seMiargns annulata, Elwes. 6 specimens, Yarlung Valley, 

 13,000 feet, early September. 



157. Lycoena lanty, Oberth. 1 (^, Po Chu Valley, 8,500 feet, July. The 

 specimen is very worn and the identification is in consequence rather open 

 to doubt. 



158. Lyccena stoUczana, Fldr. 43 specimens. A few in the Po Chu Valley, 

 10,500 feet, July ; the bulk on the Tsang Po between Tu and Rongchakar, 

 August ; a single female in September at 12,500 feet between the Khama 

 La and the Kongma La. Extremely variable. 



159. Lyccsna luana, n. sp ( see plate ). 6 specimens at Lu, 15,000 feet, 

 August 19th ; on the Putrang La, 16,300 feet, August 25th ; on the Gyemo 

 La, 15,000 feet, Sept. 4th ; on the Le La, 12,000 feet, Sept. ii3rd. 



Male above very dark-brown obscurely powdered with white, more espe- 

 cially so towards the outer margin ; cilia broadly pure white, with a minute 

 terminal black spot at the end of each vein ; in the female the white dusting 

 is obsolete. On both wings there is a prominent white spot at the end of 

 the cell, which in some males on the forewing is extended inwards along 

 the sub-median vein as a narrow streak to one-third distance from the base. 

 Forewino- below base to half way between the end of the cell and the margin 

 very pale plumbeous, beyond cream white ; the inner edge of the white area 

 is parallel to the margin as far as vein 4 and then is bent inwards to the 

 costa ; on this area there is a similarly bent ferruginous line which is pro- 

 minent towards the costa and nearly obsolete towards the inner margin : a 

 prominent white spot at the end of the cell. Hindwing, extreme base pale 

 oreenish white, followed by a ferruginous area to well beyond the cell, which 

 is ao-ain followed by a broad cream white area as on the forewing : on the 

 ferruginous area there are a number of large white spots, viz., 4 basal, one at 

 the end of the cell and a row of 5 on the disc, the lower ones being adja- 

 cent to the pale outer area ; cilia as above. Eyes smooth. The upperside 

 of the female has been described above. Below the hindwing resembles 

 the male ; the forewing may be described as pale silky plumbeous, with the 

 following portion cream white, viz., a spot in and another at the end of the 

 cell the outer margin broadly and a discal row of contiguous spots bent 

 inwards in the middle and increasing in size towards the costa. Size of 

 Lyccena iris, Stdg. 



A very distinct little species, with no near ally that I know of ; above 

 there is a general resemblance to Seitz's figure of Lyccena astrarche ab 

 artaxerxes. Fab. but below I know of nothing at all to compare it with. 

 The antennte are white below and alternately black and white above ; 

 venation as in Cyaniris, 



160. Lyc^na pheretes,'B.hn. 5 S and 1 $ mostly in the Po Chu Valley 

 and few at Gyala on the Tsang Po, 9-10,500 feet, July and early August. 

 This may turn out to be a new race of pheretes. It resembles in appearance 

 lehana, M., but difi'ers remarkably in size, being even larger than true phevt- 

 tes, more as stoiczana, Fd. Forewing pointed as in asiatica, EL; on the 

 upperside of the hindwing there is a prominent row of black sub-marginal 

 spots, which other forms of ^Ae?-eies do not appear to possess. Below the 

 markings are very variable, but do not differ from those prevailing in other 

 forms. The female is dark-brown with some very dark indigo blue at the 

 bases. If a new name is needed, I propose major.
