Description of Genitalia. — Harpago very l)road, with deep incision on the front 

 edge dividing the fore part into two, with their two edges overlapping each other ; the 

 lower extremity is produced into a somewhat hollowed, rounded apex (narrowly fan- 

 shaped), the upper portion being highly curved downwards, over the lower apex, in a 

 long, gradually tapering point, whose extremity is finely pointed and suddenly bent 

 outwards nearly at right angles to its main stem, the cingula or girdle is broad, well 

 curved at a third over the harpagones, showing a distinct juncture with the unusually 

 small tegumen, which is triangular in shape, ending in a short but definite point, the 

 falces are reduced to a short pyramidal point, not being hooked, the furca rising at the 

 lower part of the harpago, at its centre, is bent slightly forward at the base, waved, 

 erect and fairly broad in its arms, the penis sheath is fairly broad and long, very 

 gradually tapering to its extremity. The harpago is well supplied with long bristles 

 at its front edge ; the bristles in the tegumen being short and finer (Bethuue-Baker). 



Habitat.— N.W. Himalayas. 



Distribution. — Simla, Kulu, Campbellpur, Kumaun and the Khasia Hills 

 (Bethune-Baker's notes). 



Note. — Of all the diS"erent species placed as synonyms under argiades by de 

 Niceville, polysperchon appears to be the only one that can remain ; it is said to be the 

 second generation of arylades, and is a good form.
