PIE BIN M. 151 



veins slendei'ly black lined, tte black cell-streak broader, the transverse discal and 

 its marginally-united black band also broad, with the enclosed series of white spots 

 more sharply defined. Hindwing with the end of the outer veins distinctly black- 

 lined ; a discal curved row of blackish speckled points, and a feAV black scales 

 edging the discocellular veinlet. Underside. Foreunng similar to the upperside, 

 except that the outer bands are narrower. Hindwing pale yellow, the base of costa 

 chrome-yellow ; all the veins black bordered ; the curved series of discal points 

 prominent. 



Expanse, <? li^ inch. 



Habitat. — Beluchistan ; P Persia. 



Distribution. — Mr. H. Grose-Smith's type specimen is recorded from Quetta. 

 Capt. A. M. Lang obtained it in the Ziarut Pass, Kwass Valley, at 8,000 feet altitude, 

 in June. In Mr. J. H. Leech's Collection are specimens labelled " Persia," which 

 are probably referable to this species.

 and lower base is more or less greyish-white scaled, the discal spots as prominently 

 white as the marginal, those of the former extending more or less diffusedly to the 

 posterior margin, and on the hindioing the cell and disc is more or less prominently 

 interspaced with white streaks. Underside similar to the male, except that on the 

 foreioing the discal spots extend to the posterior margin.
