AMECERA MENAVA. 
A single female specimen has recently been taken by Col. A. M. 
Lang, R.E., in the Kawas valley, in Beluchistan, at 8000 feet ele- 
vation. This species is new to the Beluchistan fauna; and it is 
evident from this capture that the range of the species is much wider 
than has hitherto been believed. It is a very local insect, and does 
not appear to be common anywhere. 
HipparRcHIA PIMPLA. 
A single male specimen which is apparently referable to this 
species was taken by Col. A. M. Lang, R.E., on a rocky mountain- 
top, at 8200 feet elevation, near the Kawas valley, in Beluchistan. 
It differs from a female specimen, taken by Major John Biddulph 
on the Shandur plateau, in North-west Kashmir, on the upperside 
in its uniform dark brown colour and the absence of fulvous mark- 
ings on the fore wing; and on the underside in its generally darker 
tone and better-defined markings, and the much more restricted 
area of the fulvous patch on the fore wing. This species is ex- 
tremely rare. 
HiIPPARCHIA ANTHE, Q, var. 
The specimens referred to under this name by Mr. A. G. Butler 
(Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. ix. p. 207, 1882) have been 
returned to Col. Swinhoe; and I have had an opportunity of exa- 
mining them. There may have been some mistake in the ticketing ; 
but the specimens returned are not of the genus Hipparchia at all; 
they belong to Epinephile, and are females of E. rowane. 
AULOCERA BRAHMINUS. 
In the Society’s ‘ Proceedings’ for 1880, p. 147, Mr. Butler re- 
marks :—Mr. Moore has kindly pointed out to me that the sexes 
figured by Blanchard are referable to distinct species, the male being 
the 4.werang of Lang.”’ It is true that two distinct species are figured 
—the male, A. brahminus, Blanchard, and the female, the yellow- 
tinted variety of A. swaha; but it is premature to suppress the 
name werang on the strength of this plate only. There are two 
forms of Aulocera in the N.W. Himalayas having the white fascia 
on the upperside very narrow :—one, of the same size as A. swaha, 
with the underside dark and comparatively uniform in shade, which 
is typical 4. brahminus ; the other considerably smaller, with the 
underside pale and beautifully variegated. This latter is A. we- 
rang or weranga, as it has been more euphoniously restyled by later 
authors ; it is found at higher elevations than typical A. 6rahminus,
