black-edged vermilion spot, placed somewhat outwaixlly between the radial and 

 upper median veinlet, and extending slightly below the latter ; closely beyond is a 

 broad outer marginal blackish-grey band, which is traversed by five small black 

 spots. Underside glossy, paler; with less defined markings as on the upperside. 



Female. — Upperside duller coloured throughout ; fringe entirely yellowish- 

 white. Foreicing with markings as in male, except that the cell bars are slightly 

 narrower, and the inner-discal band does not extend below the upper median veinlet. 

 Hindiving with the outer-marginal band paler, the five black spots more distinctly 

 defined and sparsely centred with blue scales ; the discal spot glightly larger and 

 paler vermilion ; a small blackish-speckled bordered pale vermilion anal spot being 

 present between the subraedian and abdominal edge. Underside glossy, paler ; 

 markings as on the upperside. In another female, from Kulu, the discal red spot on 

 the hindwing is obsolete, being represented, on both the upper and underside, only 

 by a small cluster of blackish scales, and the anal spot is also less apparent. Anal 

 pouch small, broad beneath, concave at the base, very couvexly dilated posteriorly 

 in front and excavated in the middle. 



Expanse 2 to 2j^o inches. 



Habitat. — Marka, Rupshu, Ladak. 



DiSTEiBUTiox. — Dr. Felder's types, from which our description is made, and the 

 Kulu example of the female are in Mr. W. Rothschild's Collection. Mr. H. J. Elwes 

 (I.e.) records three specimens, taken by Mr. L. de Mceville on the Baralacha Pass, 

 north of Lahoul, at 18,000 feet elevation in July, 1879. 



Captain A. M. Lang (Bpist. November, 1874) records it as " occurring in 

 exactly the same ground as Charltonius, on the Runang and Hungrung Passes, in 

 July. I only secured two specimens. They fly nearly alike, low, fast, and zigzag, 

 quite differently from RaniwicJcii and Jacgnemontii." 



Of our illustrations of Plate 412, fig. 1, la are from the male and female types, 

 and fig. lb from the Kulu example, in Mr. W, Rothschild's possession. 



KORAMIUS ATKINSONI (Plate 412, fig. 2, $ ). 



Female. — Larger than Stoliczkanvs. Upperside pale greyish-white. Foreuing 

 with narroAver black cell bar and discocellular bar, the inner-discal recurved sinuous- 

 edged grey-black band broader and continued to the submedian vein, the outer-discal 

 and marginal band being similar. Hiiidwing with a small costal black spot, very 

 slightly centred with red, or entirely black ; a large black-bordered red discal sj)ot 

 which extends from the radial to, or near, the middle median veinlet, below which is 

 a black-edged red duplex anal spot; the grey-black marginal band traversed by five 

 prominent black spots, the lower four of which are centred more or less distinctly 

 with bluish-white scales. Underside duller greyish-white, with less defined blackish-
