thickening club ; the palpi are somewhat longer. The pattern of the markings on 

 the wings in the species of CEneis is also somewhat different, the forewing generally 

 having two or three small submarginal ocellated spots on a pale ferruginous band, 

 the hindwing also mostly having similar submarginal ocelli, whereas in Paroeneis 

 the pattern of the markings resemble those pertaining to the species of Aulocera.

Imago. — Male, Upperside pale ochreous-brown, darker externally ; the veins 

 externally lined with darker brown. Cilia ochreous- white alternated with dark 

 brown at the vein points. Foreioing crossed by a medial-discal ill-defined pale 

 brownish-ochreous narrow macular band, with an inward-divergent portion pro- 

 ceeding to the costa from between the radials, and where there is a slightly-defined 

 pale intervening-spot, this band being very similar in form to that in Aulocera. 

 Hindwing crossed by a similar ill-defined pale brownish-ochreous narrow continuous 

 band, which is angulated above the radial and at the upper median veinlet. Under- 

 side. Foreiving pale brownish-ochreous, the transverse band, as above, with dusky- 

 brown edges ; costal and apical border cinerescent, sparsely flecked with short trans- 

 verse dusky-brown strigge. Hindwing pale ochreous-cinereous, the veins cinereous- 

 white, the transverse angulated-band pale ochreous and well-defined by dusky-black 

 edges, the basal area and outer border thickly mottled with blackish strigfe with 

 pale ochreous edges.

 the apical border of the forewing and the outer border of the hindwing indistinctly 

 mottled with darker strigce. Underside as in the male. Body above darker ochreous- 

 brown ; thorax beneath clothed with dusky-brown hairs ; palpi in front, and legs

 Habitat. — Ladak. 



DiSTKiBUTjON. — The type specimens were collected by the late Dr. F. Stoliczka 

 at "Trantse Sumdo on the Lanak Pass at about 15,000 feet elevation, and at 

 Pangchog." Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. S. Bengal, 1886, 119) records " a single female 

 found on the moist ground at the edge of the snow-line on the northern side of the 

 Lepu Pass, Chinese-Tibet, at 17,000 feet (N.-B. Kumaon). Specimens of both 

 sexes are in Mr. J. H. Leech's collection, captured at Gya, in August, at 14,000 

 feet, by Mr. MacAi'thur.
