LEPIDOPTERA IND1CA. 
the band as occur in the Wet, Dry and Extra-Dry forms are therefore endemic, 
occurring only in those produced in the same area, and are consequently distinct 
local species. 
Some specimens are found with a very slightly defined subapical patch on the 
underside of the forewing, this being an indication of a brood, or an emergence 
intermediate between the end of the Wet season and the commencement of the 
Dry . Other specimens also occur, indicating a brood, or an emergence between 
the period of the Ordinary Dry and the Extreme-Dry season. 
In the N.W. Himalayas and drier areas of Western India—especially in the 
Punjab Plains and its desert tracks, we note the absence or paucity of specimens of 
the Wet form, in comparison to the large number of the Dry form, occurring in the 
following locally restricted species, viz., Purreea, excavata, fnnbriata, irregularis, 
apicalis, DEsiopeoides , Sivinhoei , Asphodelus and Narcissus. 
Of these various allied local species that have been described—the type 
specimens of most of which are in our own Collection, or, we have personally 
compared the originals—those species of the Northern, or drier areas, also produce 
the Wet and Dry form only, whereas, in the more Southern and South Eastern 
areas, where the seasons are more prominently defined, a characteristically-marked 
Extreme Dry form is also produced.
