Habitat. — Leh, Kharbu ; Ladak. 



Distribution. — The type specimens were obtained by the late Dr. F. Stoliczka, at 

 Leh, in September, and at Kharbu, 13,000 feet, in Ladak. Mr. L. de Niceville " took 

 one male and two females at Chanagund, Ladak, in June" (Butt. Ind. i. 188). 

 Capt. H. B. Hellard obtained specimens in the " Indus Valley, between Skardo and 

 Dras Eiver, in July." Mr. J. H. Leech caught it on the road to Skoro La and Braldo 

 in July, at 12,000 feet, and Mr. MacArthur obtained it at Kardong at 14,000 feet, 

 in August, 1889.

Imago. — Male. Upperside cinerescent-brown, cilia broadly alternated with 

 cinereous-white. Foreioing with a broad transverse outer-discal bright ochreous or 

 fulvous band, the outer edge of which is almost even and is parallel with the exterior 

 margin, the inner edge being angulated outward at the upper median vein ; within 

 the band is an upper and a lower black spot with minute white pupil, and between 

 them are two small white spots. An oblique discal dusky-grey black-speckled 

 glmiduliir patch extends narrowly below the cell, and also broadly within the anterior 

 half of the cell, where it is traversed by a prominent longitudinal oblique-streak of 

 black scales ; this black cell-streak is clothed with densely-packed raised narrow 

 oval scales, and the lower area beneath it, within the cell, with raised elongated 

 pale grey claviform scales, whicli overlap broader-tipt oval dark scales interspersed 

 with a few black very slender attenuated feather-tipt androconia ; below the cell the 

 scales are elongated and pale grey, with a few underlying shorter oval dark scales, 

 and many long slender attenuating feather-tipt androconia. Eindwing with a 

 broad medial discal bright ochreous lunular-edged band, enclosing two very small 

 white-pupilled spots between the radials. . Underside. Foretving pale cinereous-brown, 

 the discal area and lower part of the cell bright ochreous, the edges of the discal 

 band defined by a dusky line, the two black spots and intermediate white dots, as in 

 upperside, the upper spot being pale ringed ; costal border crossed by dusky-black 

 strigas, and exterior border traversed by a similar-coloured lunular Une. Eindwing
