prominent. Antennae, head, thorax, and abdomen blackish, the two former with 
salmon-buff hairs, abdomen with similar coloured scaling, club of antennae also salmon- 
buff on the underside. 
Expanse, d ¥ 2 inches. 
Dry-season Brood (Figs, lc, Id, $). 
Male. Upperside paler than in the Wet-season form. Forewing with the apical 
band small, the sub-apical bar and exterior marginal band being well separated and 
only joined together by some black lines on the veins, the thin marginal band has 
large spots of the ground colour in it, is much attenuated hindwards and seldom 
reaches the lower angle. Bindwing with the marginal spots small. Underside pale, 
the markings similar, but feeble. 
Female. Similar to the male, rather paler in colour, the apical band more 
extensive, the sub-apical bar continued hindwards to vein 2, connected with the 
marginal band by black veins forming five or six spots of the ground colour, and a 
marginal row of well pronounced similarly coloured spots. Underside as in the male, 
the spots on the bands across the disc of both wings conjoined, those in the forewing 
sometimes marked with black.

Habitat. —Uortli-West India, Asia Minor, Persia and Afghanistan. 
Distribution. —We took it at Karachi, Hydrabad (Sind), Quetta, Kandahar, 
Ahmedabad, Deesa, and Bisnuggar (Goozerat), and we have it from Fao in the
