COLIIN^. 165 



Underside of the hindwing much darker green than in any European examples, 

 although the tip of the apex of the forewing is brighter. Length of forewing 35 mm. 

 = If inches. Kashmir, 17,000 to 19,000 feet. August, 1902. 



Phicomone has up to now only been seen in the Alps, Pyrenees 

 and Hungary, on this account the locality Kashmir is very interesting. 



We have not seen this form ; the above is Fruhstorfer's 

 description ; the block is from a figure he has kindly sent me. 



Elwes, in Iris, 1903, throws doubts on a form of Phicomone being 

 found so far east as Kashmir, and suggests it may be a form of 

 Cocandica, but the figure certainly much more nearly represents piuia. 



Phicomone, and it has no resemblance to Elwes' C. Leechi which has been renamed 

 Elioesi by Rober, the name Leechi being preoccupied in this genus.

Imago. — Male. Rich orange-vermilion, veins prominent. Forewing with a 

 patch of blue-grey scales on the lower base, some ochreous irrorations on the costa, a 

 black, nearly linear spot closing the cell, a broad glazed black outer marginal band, 

 nearly uniform in width from costa to lower margin, occupying more than a fourth of 

 the wing, its inner edge irregular but almost evenly curved ; cilia crimson. Hindwing 

 with more than the abdominal third covered with blue-grey scales, the outer border 

 broad in its middle, narrowing upwards and hindwards and usually not reaching the 

 anal angle ; cilia crimson and white. Underside. Forewing with its inner portion 

 pale crimson, the costal and outer spaces greyish-green, the latter limited by a row of 

 blackish spots, a brown, white-centred spot at the end of the cell. Hindwing greyish- 

 green, a pinkish patch at the end of the cell, containing a small round white spot, a 

 discal row of more or less obscure brown spots. Cilia of both wings crimson. 



Female. Dimorphic, in some examples coloured like the male, in others it is blue- 

 grey. Upperside. Forenying with the veins always well marked, the cell spot large 

 and pale-centred, the marginal band much broader than in the male, containing a row 

 of pale spots, varying in number, the basal third of the wing irrorated with blue-grey
