from Nepal ; the species has a long range, extending throughout the Palearctic Regions 

 of Asia ; Esper's type came from South Russia. 



Note. — Both forms [Erate and GUcia) have Albino females ; I took white 

 females in cop. with both kinds of males ; different in flight and habits to Fidd'ti, 

 twice as fast in flight and hardly ever settling (Lang's notes).

Wet-season Brood (Figs. 2, $, 2a, ?). 



Imago. Male. Upperside pale lemon-yellow, always paler than Erate, some of 

 the males very pale. Forewing marked like the female of Erate, the apical portion of 

 the pale spots within the exterior black band generally joined together. Hindwing 

 with the orange cell spot smaller and paler, sometimes obsolescent, the band on the 

 exterior border macular, the spots smaller and the band seldom thickened at its upper 

 end, sometimes the lower spots are quite small. Underside as in Erate, but the spots 

 are smaller and the colour of the wings paler. 



Female. Upperside pale primrose to pure white, both wings marked as in the 

 male. Underside also as in the male. 



Expanse, ,? ? 2 inches. 



Dry-season Brood (Figs. 2b, $, 2c, ?, 2d, ?). 



Male. Upperside as in the Wet-season form, but the outer black band of the fore- 

 wing is seldom brought down to the lower angle, and the outer band of the hindwing 

 is very faintly indicated, often represented by a few grey marks. Underside as in the 

 Wet-season form. 



Female. Like the female of the Wet-season form, but the spots on the outer 

 band of the forewing are smaller and often fewer in number, the outer band of the 

 hindwing with smaller spots ; on the underside the hindwing is greenish, being covered 

 with minute green-grey scales. 



Expanse, ^ $ 1-j^ to 1^^ inches.
