36 LEPIDOPTERA INBICA. 



Sarastvati is not quite so widely spread a,s A. Swaha, appears later, and disappears 

 earlier ; in August it swarms, in localities affected by it, amongst the luxurious grass 

 pastures on the less wooded slopes of the hills in the Simla and Kunawur district." 

 " In Simla it is not uncommon on the grassy slopes in the neighbourhood in the 

 autumn months. In Pangi Mr. R. Ellis and Dr. Henderson took numerous speci- 

 mens of both sexes in July and August." Major H. B. Hellard, in his MS. Notes, 

 records its capture at " Pangi, Busahir, in July and August, and in Kashmir during 

 August and September." Major J. W. Yerbury (P. ^. S. 1886, 357) obtained it at 

 Dewal in August, also commonly at Murree in August, and also taken in September." 

 In Kulu, according to Mr. A. Graham Young, it appears in July, and remains on the 

 wing until the middle of October; it is common from 4000 feet and upwards, and 

 greatly affects the thistle flowers, upon which numbers may be captured in their 

 pecuhar haunts." (Butt. Ind. i. 200.) Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 119) 

 obtained it at " Pyura, above Loharkhet, the Dhoaj, Takula, 5000 to 7000 feet, in 

 Kumaon," Specimens in our own collection are from the late Colonel Impey's and 

 General Ramsay's Nepal Collection.

Genus PARCENEIS. 



Forewing similar in shape to typical CEneis {OE. Noma); venation similar, 

 except that the cell is very much shorter, and there is no androconial patch in the 

 male. Hindioing with the cell also considerably shorter, and the discocellulars less 

 outwardly oblique. Palpi somewhat shorter and more delicate, the apical joint 

 being shorter and less conspicuous. Antennal club shorter and comparatively 

 thicker. 



Tiipe. — P. pumilus. 



Tjrpical GEneis {Noma, Jutta, etc.) has the forewing, in the male, furnished 

 with a conspicuous oblique androconial patch, and the cell area in both the fore and 

 hindwing being much longer. The antennee in (Eneis has a longer gradually-
