This is a very striking form, and, so far as the white markings 

 go, does not, in the specimens which have come under my notice, 

 appear given to variation. Whether it should be treated as a 

 distinct species, or only as one of the many varieties of the 

 Indian branch of P. russata, I must leave to further experience to 

 decide. 



[Two specimens were taken by me on the Nepal frontier at 

 11,000 and 13,000 feet in August, and seem to be a very distinct 

 species. — H. J. E.']

[Three males which do not vary were taken by me at 10,000 feet 

 in July and are the only ones I have seen of this distinct species. —

S . Pore wings with the darker fascise dull olive-green, the paler 

 intervals being pinky drab ; basal patch dull green, with 2 largish 

 teeth, the upper one near the costa the larger ; it is traversed 

 along its centre by a pale drab line ; the outer edge runs obliquely 

 outwards for its upper g, then obliquely inwards for the other g ; 

 between the basal patch and the central fascia is a similarly in- 

 dented pale drab fascia, traversed by 3 dull chocolate sinuous lines, 

 the space between the first 2 of these being filled up with similar 

 coloured atoms; central fascia olive-green, with 2 pale drab Hnes,
