outer borders. In both sexes the foreii-ing has the submarginal series of spots always 

 larger, especially towards the apex, they are generally cordate, and nine, some- 

 times ten in number, the narrow costal spots being always present. Ou the 

 hindwing both rows of spots are also of larger size, and in the male some of the 

 upper submarginal series coalesce with their two corresponding marginal spots. 

 Underside of a decidedly more olivaceous-brown tint, marked as on upperside, but 

 more prominent, with the discal violet-white spots as in C. Core. 



Expanse, 3j to 4 inches. 



Habitat. — N.W. and E. Himalayas. 



Distribution. — G. vermimlaia, as above described, appears to have its limit 

 in the Himalayas ; it is, however, occasionally found in various lower contiguous 

 districts. In the N.W. Himalayas it has been taken at Kasauli ; and by 

 Col. Lang at Simla, in June. Also at Masuri. In Kumaon, according to Mr. Doherty 

 ( Journ. Asiat. Soc. Beng. 1886, 114), it is " common as high up as Khati, 7000 feet ele- 

 vation." Mr. De Mceville says (Butt. India, i. 81) that " in the N.W. Himalayas it 

 occurs up to an elevation of about 8000 feet, but is never common at that altitude." 

 Specimens have also been taken in November at Naiashahr in the Saharunpur district, 

 aud by Capt. Hellard at Allahabad. Mr. De Niceville also says (Journ. Asiat. Soc. 

 Beng. 1881, 49) that it is " very common in the Sikkim Terai in October," and Mr. 

 Elwes writes (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 302) that it is " fairly common at low levels in 

 Sikkim during the whole year." It was also obtained in Nepal by Gren. Gr. Ramsay.

Imago. — Male. Upperside rich dark velvety rufescent-brown, outer borders 

 paler. Forewing with a distinctly defined submarginal series of small brownish-white 

 anteriorly-decreasing rounded spots, and a marginal row of smaller spots, the 

 latter not extending to the apex. Male with a very short slender iiiconsjncuoiis 

 sexual streak between the lower median and submedian vein, clothed with well- 

 separated short broad serrated-tipt scales (with five or six points), and others much 

 narrower with either two or three points. Hindioing darkest towards the lower basal 

 area; costal border brownish-cinereous; with a submarginal row of rather large
