Habitat. —North-West India, Arabia and the opposite African Coast. 
Distribution. —A male of this form is in the Calcutta Museum labelled Surat. 
Madders is said to have obtained a single specimen at Multan in the Punjab and “ one 
individual captured in a field near Lucknow” (Moore’s notes). M e admit this species 
into the Indian Fauna with great hesitation ; there are so many Albinos and partial 
Albinos in both sexes of the Teracoli, a semi-Albino form of Protractus might so easily 
be mistaken for Phisadia. We have not been able to examine any one of the above- 
mentioned specimens.

Imago. Inhabits desert and sandy tracts. Male. LTpperside pure white. Fore¬ 
icing with the base irrorated with black and blue-grey scales, the cell blackly irrorated 
except for a small portion at its lower end, a large, generally round, black spot at the 
end, with a black inward streak, costal line between this and the outer band black with 
some blue-grey irrorations attached, outer black band much as in Phisadia, but 
narrower hind wards, the spots in it similarly placed, but pure wdiite. Hindwing with 
very little grey irrorations at the base, the outer band as broad as in Phisadia, but its 
inner margin is more irregular; cilia of both wings white. Underside pale yellow, the 
outer marginal space of the forewing and the whole of the hindwing deeper yellow, the 
spots on the forewdng as in Phisadia, as are also the unmarked liindwings. 
Female. IJpperside white, often slightly tinted with yellow. Forewing with the 
cell black, joined to, and often obscuring the large spot at its end, costal line pale, with 
some ochreous-grey irrorations, the base of the wing irrorated with black and blue- 
grey scales, the outer band as in the male, but always more or less paler. Hindwing 
with very little basal irrorations, the outer band variable in width, and paler than in 
the male. Underside. Forewing white, tinted with pale .yellow, the spots as in the
