660 APPENDIX. 
Alpheraky records a female specimen taken on the 11th July, 1885, on the 
Tchagola Mountains, in the province of Kan-sou, above the forest limit. He 
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. jjeloriafrom Amdo, but I overlooked Alpheraky's 
record of this species from the province of Kan-sou {ante, p. 474).

'■ Female. Upperside : both wings and cilia dull hair-brown. Fore wing with a very large oval 
spot occupying the outer end of the discoidal coll, but not quite reaching the discocellular 
nervules ; a circular spot towards the base of the second median interspace, an oval spot, 
rather larger than the spot above it, iu the middle of the first median interspace — these spots 
lustrous, semi-transparent white ; the spot in the cell is anteriorly continued broadly to the 
costa in an opaque snow-white patch. Hind wing with the blacls spots of the underside 
showing through obscurely. Underside : both wings with the ground-colour a little paler 
than above, slightly washed with vinous. Pore 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 cell placed one in each 
interspace, of which the fourth, fifth, and seventh are smaller than the others. Thorax and 
abdomen concolorous with the wings. Palpi (all except the third joint, which is deep black) 
bright chrome-yellow. 
•■ Though the female of this species dift'ers so markedly in coloration from its brilliantly snow-white 
male, I have no doubt whatever that I have correctly paired the sexes. The position of the 
large spot at the end of the discoidal cell of the fore wing and the black spots on the disc 
of the hind wing is the same in both, otherwise the sexes are strikingly dissimilar in 
appearance. The palpi are bri-ht chrome-yeUow also iu both sexes, all except the terminal 
joint ; but the thorax of the female is brown throughout, while in the male it is anteriorly 
bright chrome-yellow. Mr. Doherty [ante, p. 558J was evidently perfectly correct in 
conjecturing that the female of this rare buttorHy would be ' dark-coloured.' 
■• Described from a single example in Mr. H. J. Elwes"s collection obtained by the Pev. Walter 
A. Hamilton's native collectors in the Khasi hills, Assam. Mr. Hamilton has given me 
three males from the same locality." {de Sia'vUe, I. c.)

" Expands from 1"25 to 1-30 in. Somewhat resembles [i/".] proto above, but is larger, and its 
colouring is darker brown, without any green tinge ; the spots are whiter and more distinct,
