170 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



specimens at Gulmurg, 9400 feet, in July. The size of the spots in the discal band 

 in these specimens agrees with the figure of Ligyes, but the rufous spots are very 

 feebly developed. I also obtained three males in June at Gagangair, Kashmir, and 

 Major Marshall possesses three males from Baba Marisbi, 8400 feet, also in Kashmir, 

 and one from Pangi, all taken in June. They differ from typical Ligyes in having 

 the discal spots as small as in Eydaspes ; the development of the rufous spots is 

 inconstant, some of these specimens being quite typical Ligyes in this respect, but 

 in none of them are they as fully developed as in Eydaspes. Lastly, Major Marshall 

 possesses quite typical specimens of Ligyes taken at Kutabul, 8200 feet, and 

 Bayadmalla, 6500 feet, both in Kashmir, and one from Pangi, all these specimens 

 being taken in June" (de Niceville, Butt. Ind. ii. 162). 



Colonel Lang writes (Ent. Mo. Mag. 1868, 35), " This species is represented 

 by only one specimen in Dr. Jerdon's series, from Kashmir, which resembles the 

 dark ' Kunawur,' rather than the light ' Simla ' variety ; but it differs from all that 

 I have yet seen, in having an exterior transverse series, nearly obsolete in the fore- 

 wipg, but very distinct in the hindwing, of ochreous-red spots, one being placed at 

 the apex of each of the black borders of the submarginal lunules. The underside is 

 also suffused with ochreous red." 



Specimens taken at Eampore in May, and in the Goorais Valley in June, are 

 in Mr. J. H. Leech's collection.

Imago. — Male and female. Upperside dark rufous-brown, olivescent-brown in 

 some lights ; cilia white alternated with black at tip of the veins. Both wings 

 crossed by a discal interrupted narrow white macular band, composed of small oval 

 spots, of smaller size than those in Ligyes, followed by two outer rows of more or 

 less prominent ochreous-red lunate spots, the two upper spots of the inner row 

 beiug larger and ochreous-white, with an intervening parallel submarginal row of 

 black dentate spots and an outer marginal black lunular line. Foreioing also with a 

 more or less prominent white cell bar and ill-defined black inner cell streaks, disco- 

 cellular streak and lower basal mark slightly interspaced with dull ochreous red. 

 Underside bright yellowish-ochi^eous ; macular band and basal marks as above ; the 

 discal area of forewing and borders of the white macular band and marginal lunular 

 fascia reddish-ochreous ; lower portions of the macular band on the forewing edged 

 with black ; two or three superposed black submarginal lunules above the posterior 

 angle. Body &hoYQ dark rufous-brown; palpi white, edged and tipt with black;
