Habitat. Upper Kunawur (Weraug Pass), Caslimere (Goolmurg.) 
This species is most nearly allied to Swala : but is of a much 
paler colour, being dark brown instead of velvety-black : it is much 
more rounded in outline, and consequently a more feeble looking 
insect. The fascia is of a purer white, much more slender, and is slightly 
curved on the posterior wings. 
It differs from Scylla {loc. cif.) by its paler colour, larger size, 
more sinuated margins, and the want of the exterior series of white, 
black-encircled spots : the whitish dots of Werang being only two or 
three in number, very small and indistinct. 
This species occurs in Upper Kunawur, beyond the range of 
the four first-named species. It appears, however, to be very rare, as 
I have seen but three individuals ; these were all taken by me at an 
altitude of 12,000', about 1,000' below the bleak and bare summit of 
the Werang Pass, amidst the rocky, grassy ground just clear of the 
forests of Pinus Gerardiana and Gedrus Deodara. 
Amongst a small series of insects lately taken by Dr. Jerdon at 
" Goolmurg " (altitude 9,000' above the valley of Cashmere), was one 
specimen of this species. 
The head quarters of the species is probably intermediate between 
Upper Kunawur as an eastern, and Cashmere as a western limit, far in 
the interior of the Himalayan ranges, and at high altitudes.
