Genus Chrysophanus, Hiibner. 

 Chrysophanus baralacha, n. sp. 



Female. Differs from specimens of same sex of G. phlceas (var. 

 stygianus) taken in the neighbouring country of Lahoul. Upperside ; 

 forewing golden-yellow, with a blackish quadrate spot in the middle of 

 the cell, a larger spot at its end, three oblique subapical spots, and three 

 lower discal spots, the lowest spot being the longest and curved ; from 

 the three subapical spots some black speckles proceed to the discocellular 

 spot ; the costal edge is very narrowly bordered with brown, and the 

 exterior margin has a narrow macular brown border of half the width of 

 that of the above-mentioned species : hindwing golden greyish-brown, 

 with a broad pale red outer marginal band, which is very slightly inden-

 border by a row of indistinct blackish spots surmounted by blue-grey 

 scales, above which is a discal row of five or six smaller black spots and 

 also a black lunule at end of the cell. Underside of similar colour to that 

 of above species : forewing with the spots as on upperside, but pale- 

 bordered, and also a spot at base of the cell, two small spots on the costa 

 above the discal series, and three linear spots on exterior margin above 

 the angle, these latter spots being near the margin : hindwing with less 

 defined red-streaked marginal band, the discal and other spots also com-

 broader ; there is also a slender marginal band, more or less indistinct in 

 the male, but very distinct ih the female ; on the hindwing is a red mai-
