Mr, Kirby * has placed the Pterggwpitka Pralatja, Moore, as a synonym of this species. 

 It is, however, at least a distinct race, and appears to be confined to Continental India. In 

 Mr. Moore's species the posterior wings are ochraceous, not pearly* white beneath. The width 

 of the ochraceoiiB margin to the posterior wings above is variable, as is the greyish margin 

 of other specie s of the genns.
