Expanse of wings, $ ^ 1^^ to 1 j% inches. 



Habitat. — N.W. Himalayas, Beluchistan, Afghanistan. 



Distribution. — Lang records it from Kasaoli to Upper Kunawar, he says it however 

 disappears in certain gaps, as it were, which are occupied by C. pavana, Kollar ; common 

 also at Naini Tal, at 5,500 to 7,000 feet, and Doherty remarks on Kumaon specimens, 

 " Comparing the prehensores of many specimens with those figured by Dr. White, 1 

 should suppose the species distinct from the European C. phlseas, Linuseus ; " he says 

 he met with it at Naini Tal, 6,003 to 7,000 feet above Garbyan, and at Kalapani, N.E. 

 Kumaon, 11,000 to 15,000 feet (de Niceville, p. 316) ; we have many examples in our 

 collection from Kulu, Thundiani, Simla, Murree, Kandahar and Quetta.
