this species, wliicli, be says, was "observed once only, in September, in a ricbly- 

 wooded Himalayan glen. I passed this glen once in September. In former or sub- 

 sequent raontlis I never saw this insect there ; it appears to have therefore but one 

 short-lived antnmnal brood. The insects were pretty numerous, seated on tall 

 Urabelliferfe, and flitting from plant to plant with short quick flights, in an open 

 glade in the glen close to the stream." We possess examples from Murree (August), 

 Masuri (June), l)oth taken by Capt. Lang, and others from Nepal, taken by General G. 

 Ramsay. Mr. W. Doherty obtained it at " Naini Tal, 6000 to 7000 feet, and at Lohar- 

 khet, 5000 feet, Kumaon "( Journ. As. Soc.Beng. 1886, 134). Col. J. W. Yerbury took 

 it at " Murree in September, and at Thnndiani near Kali Paul in September " (P. Z. S. 

 1886, 364). Col. C. Swinhoe has examples from Kulii, taken by Mr. G. Young, and 

 many of both sexes from the Jaintia and Khasia Hills. In Sikkim, it is Found 

 at the same times and places with the much commoner D. ]Ji/)ci:'((.'' (de Niceville 

 Sikk. Gaz. 1894, 149). An example from Bhotan, taken in June by Mr. G. C. 

 Dudgeon, is in the British Museum. "Larva feeds on grasses and hill bamboo" 

 (Mackiunon, I.e.).

 scales ; a ti-ansverse broad bright ochreous-yellow band from near end of the cell and 

 extending to the posterior margin ; a discal alteruated-row of large quadrate spots, 

 the lowest joining the inner band below the subraedian vein ; followed by an irregular 

 submarginal row of small spots, the upper being minute, the lowest elongated and 

 lunular ; beyond are two minute almost white spots before the apex. HimJirimj 

 with two rather largo whitish spots on the costa ; a transverse bright ochreous- 

 yellow subbasal band extending from the subcostal across the cell to above 

 anal angle, a slender band across end of the cell, below which it is joined to

 and then a marginal lower lunular line; anal lobe and tail black, margined
