on the basal half palo ochreous-yellow ; a sliort pale oclireons-yollo'.v basal ami a 

 subbasal costal streak ; a transverse band from ths costa crossino- middle of tlie 

 cell and then tapering to the submedian fold, where it meets a fine line defining the 

 fold, tlie latter being joined at the base to the sulimedian vein; a slender bar at 

 end of the cell ; two short outer broader bars on the costa, and two lower-discal 

 broken series of decreasing bands, the inner series boing inwardly defined by a 

 black line ending above anal angle, and then continuing in two lines up the 

 abdominal margin ; bej'ond is a submargiual band from tlie second subcostal 

 branch, where it is mai'ked by two superposed black spots, followed by a narrower 

 lower marginal band, both bands uniting posteriorly and ending in a Inight ochreous 

 anal patch marked by black streaks ; anal lobe also with a black spot. 



Female larger ; wings broader, the outer margins more convex. Upperside

Habitat.^ — Outer ranges of Western Himalayas; r Burma. 



Distribution. — " This is a very common species all over the outer ranges of the 

 Western Himalayas as far as Murree and Kashmir " (de X. I.e.). Capt. A. M. Lang 

 found it " common on pastnre and grassy slopes in the W. Himalayas, from r)000 to 

 8000 feet. It is fond of sunshine. Flight quick, almost Hespiridan " (P. Z. S. 

 1865, 503). Major H. B. Hellard took it in " Xashmir, Masnri, and Simla, from 

 June to October" (MS. Notes). Capt. II. Bayne Reed also found it iu Kashmir 

 (MS. Notes). Col. J. W. Yerbury records it as " common at Murree in August and 

 September. Found along the hills to Thundiani ; also at Dewal, and at Kali Pani 

 in October" (P. Z. S. 1886, 30-f). Mr. W. Doherty took it iu " ICumaon generally, 

 from 2500 to 8U00 feet " (Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1886, 13^). Mr. L. de Nicevil'le 

 j)0ssesses an empty pupa case, obtained at Simla by Col. Marshall, which he 

 describes as being attached to the underside of a small leaf near the tip, the long- 

 axis of the pupa being parallel to the midrib, over which it partly lies, with the 

 head directed towards the tip of the leaf. It is fixed in position by the tail, ;ind b\- 

 a median girth as in Z. flegyas, from which it only differs (as far as can be judged 

 from empty shells only) in being less flattentxl and narrower throughout, the 

 abdominal segments especially being much attenuated and ending almost to a point 

 as in J. /*rH»os((. It does not appear to have been covered with hair" (Proc. As. 

 Soc. Beng. 1890, 138). We possess examples from Masuri, Kusauli, Murree, 

 Campbellpur, Dharmsala, and Nepal. Mr. J. H. Leech has specimens from Knjiar, 

 April, and from Chumba, 2700, May, taken b}^ Capt. McArthur ; Sidtanpur, Kulu, 

 Narkunda, 7000 feet, April. A male, labelled " Burma, Octol)er," from Major 

 Harford's collection, is in the British j\Iuseum.
