LEPIDOPTEBA 1NDICA. 
white. Underside. Forewing purple-grey, paling towards apex; a black spot ringed 
with white at apex of cell, a discal series of small black spots ringed with white, varying 
in number; in some specimens only three, usually four. Hindwing pale brownish on 
the disc, fading into pale greenish-ochreous at the margin, with the following pale 
ochreous spots ; one in and extending beyond discoidal cell, cuneiform, a discal series 
of six beyond it, and an indistinct one basally below the costa. 
Female. Upperside dark fuscous, basally irrorated with blue. Underside as in 
the male. 
This form differs from the var. asiatica of Elwes in having fewer discal black spots 
on forewing, and in the size and length of the pale cellular spot on hindwing (Fawcett). 
Expanse of wings, J £ 1 inch. 
Habitat. —Khamba Jong, Thibet, 15,000 feet elevation. Colonel Fawcett has 
kindly lent us his types for figuring. Elwes says, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1906, p. 485, that 
he believes this fco be a form of his Asiatica, but there is undoubtedly a marked 
difference, especially in the whitish streak in the cell of the hindwing. 
SECTION IY.— Latiorina. 
Genitalia very near Alhulina, but the dorsal hook is less heavy and more like that 
of Polyommatus; the hard process of the clasp is rather long, and the serrate margin 
extends round an almost circular termination.

Imago. —Male. Upperside purplish-blue, the base of forewing and the basal and 
abdominal half of hindwing covered with greenish-blue scales. Forewing with a fine 
black costal and outer marginal line, and a short black mark edged with grey at the 
end of the cell. Hindwing with a deeper black terminal line inwardly edged with a 
very fine white line, interrupted by black dots at the vein ends. Underside greyish- 
white. Forewing basally irrorated with blue scales, markings black, edged with white, 
a short lunular mark at the end of the cell, a discal series of six spots, commencing in 
the third interspace, decreasing in size upwards where it is curved inwards; three pale 
blackish somewhat spear-shaped marks between the discal series and the outer margin, 
in the first three interspaces. Hindwing with the basal third with blue scaling; a pale
