male, except that on the hindwing the cinerescent-white speckles are less 

 prominent. 



Expanse, c? 2 to 2j^o> ^ 2i^o inches. 



Habitat. — "Western Himalayas. 



DiSTEiBUTiON. — Obtained by Colonel A. M. Lang at " Narkunda, at 6000 to 

 7000 feet altitude, in Lower Kunawur, appearing only when the rainy season has 

 set in thoroughly, flying only in July and August, where, in dripping forests about 

 moist banks draped in dense ferns, this species flies weakly even during rain, and 

 when flying looks parti-coloured — black and white. It is local, extending perhaps 

 through seventy miles, and flies only in the autumn in damp regions where and 

 when the rainfall is heavy, whereas G. Nirmala extends through at least 200 miles 

 from the Plains into the mountains, through damp and wooded regions, and dry 

 rocks, hot mountain sides, and through many months of the year " (Lang's MS. 

 Notes). Specimens taken by Colonel Lang in 1887, at Naini Tal 6500 to 7000 

 feet elevation in August, are in Mr. G. F. Hampson's Collection. This species is 

 " common throughout the outer ranges of the Western Himalayas, as far east as 

 Masuri, and is probably found in Kumaon ; our collection contains specimens from 

 Pangi, taken by Mr. E. Ellis, and from Simla and Masuri" (Butt. Ind. i. 245). 

 A specimen from Kulu, taken by Mr. Hocking, is in the British Museum, and our 

 own collection contains various specimens, among them males from Narkunda taken 

 by Col. Lang, and others from the Jumna Valley, 5000 feet, taken in September by 

 Major J. "W. Yerbury. Mr. W. Doherty obtained it " above Loharkhet, Khati, and 

 at Dhankuri, in JST.W. Kumaon, at 7000 to 11,000 feet elevation " (J. A. S. Beng. 

 1886, 119).

Imago. — Male. Upperside dark vinous-brown, of a uniform tint throughout; 

 cilia cinereous-brown. Forewing with an obtusely-oval black subapical ocellus,
