APPENDIX, 



Alplieraky records a female specimen taken on the 11th July, 1885, on the 

 Tchagola Mountains, in the province of Kan-sou, above the forest limit. lie 

 states that this example differs from those taken by the Przewalsky Expedition 

 in N.E. Thibet, in being larger and narrower in the wing. 



I received specimens oi M. peloria from Amdo, but I overlooked Alphoraky's 

 record of this species from the province of Kan-sou [ante, p. 474).

" Female. U|)perside : both wings and cilia dull hair-brown. Fore wing with a very largo oval 

 spot occupying the outer end of the discoidal cell, but not quite reaching the discocellular 

 neiwules ; a circular spot towards the base of the second median interspace, an oval spot, 

 rather larger than the spot above it, in the middle of the first median interspace — iliesc spots 

 lustrous, semi-transparent wliite ; the spot in the cell is anteriorly continuid broadly to tlie 

 costa in an opaque snow-white patch. Hind wing with the hlack spots of the underside 

 showing through obscurely. Underside : both wings with the ground-colour a little paler 

 than above, slightly washed with vinous. Fore wing with the spots as above, but with an 

 additional small rounded opaque white spot in the middle of the submedian interspace placed 

 somewhat near the outer margin. Hind wing with a large rounded black spot close to the 

 outer end of the cell, with eight smaller black spots round the coll placed one in each 

 interspace, of which the fourth, fifth, and seventh are smaller than the others. Thorax and 

 al)donien concolorous with the wings. Palpi (all except the third joint, which is deep black) 

 bright chrome-yellow. 



■•'riKHigh the female of this species differs so markedly in coloration from its brillianily snow-white 

 male, I have no doul)t whatever that I have correctly itaired (he sexes. The position of the 

 largo spot at the end of the discoidal cell of the fore wing and tlie black spots on the disc 

 of the hind wing is the same in both, otherwise the sexes are strikingly dissimilar in 

 appearance. The ])alpi are bright chrome-yellow also in botli sexes, all except the terminal 

 joint; but the thorax of the female is brown Ihrouglioul , while in the male it is anteriorly 

 bright chrome-yellow. Mr. Doherty [ante, ]). r).")S | -was evidently ])i'rfectly correct in 

 conjecturing that the female of this rare butterfly would be 'dark-coloured.'
