22 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



Forewing with a darker black broad oblique inner-discal glandular fascia ; costal 

 border with a few short black strig« ; a broad yellowi sh-wbite streak occupying 

 two-tbirds of the cell from the base, and a transverse outer-discal series of longi- 

 tudinal sbort streaks, the outer one, below the radial, being the longest, and divided 

 in its middle by a black spot, the streak between the middle and lower median 

 veinlets nearly obliterated by a large black spot with a shght white pupil. Eind- 

 wing with a broad medial posteriorly-decreasing angular yellowish- white band. 

 Underside. Forewing with the costal and exterior margin greyish -white, mottled 

 with short transverse black strigte-; the cell and discal area washed with very pale 

 yellow ; a broad black bar crossing before end of the cell, and an irregular angulated 

 discal baud outwardly-bordering the cell from the subcostal vein to the posterior 

 margin, beyond which is an upper and lower discal black spot with a white pupil, 

 followed by a slender black lunular submarginal line. Hindwing greyish-white, 

 mottled with blackish strigse, which are more thickly disposed partly across the middle 

 and across the disc, and there forming two ill-defined curved bands, the latter slightly 

 showing a small pale central spot between the veins. 



Female. Upperside. Foreioing with similar yellowish-white markings, which 

 are somewhat longer, and more confluent, that above the lower median veinlet much 

 longer, and a small black spot being present below the latter. Hindiving as in the 

 male, with the medial angular-band less defined. Underside similar to the male. 

 Body fuliginous-black above, ochreous-white beneath ; collar, side of palpi, and legs 

 beneath ochreous-white. 



Expanse c? 2^, ? 2f inches. 



Habitat. — Northern Kashmir. 



Allied to C. Heidenreichi, from the Altai moimtains. Somewhat smaller; wings 

 shorter; similarly marked above. On the forewing above, tbe male has a longer 

 inner pale upper spot, the upper and lower disc al black white-centred patch smaller, 

 the lower pale spot more oval in shape. Hindwing with a broader pale irregular 

 angulated discal patch, but with no white-centred black spot between lower and 

 middle medians. On the underside of the forewing the two black white-centred 

 discal spots are smaller, and the submarginal wavy black line is further from the 

 margin. On the hindwing, the transverse mottling is much darker but more 

 irregular, the discal portion having no well-defined black outer demarcating edge, 

 this portion also being further from the outer margin of the wing, and has no 

 ocellus on it between the lower and middle medians. 



Distribution. — The female type specimen was " taken by Major J. Biddulph on 

 the Shandur plateau in Northern Kashmir. Both sexes were also taken on the 

 Skoro La, Baltistan, 13,000 feet, in July, 1887, by Mr. J. H. Leech. A male and
