the end of cell; antennse and legs rosy ; palpi greenish-yellow ; head with frontal tuft;

Forewing with the black band on the exterior margin broader. Hind wing with the 
dusky irrorations more dense. Underside much as in the male. 
Expanse, J ¥ 2 inches. 
Habitat. —Thibet; Cashmir. 
Distribution. —In the B. M. from Ladak, Koka, Lahul, Cashmir, and many 
examples from Eastern Thibet. Flies with rapidity over the pastures on the mountain 
slopes above the Sutlej, near Shipkee, at an altitude of thirteen thousand to fifteen 
thousand feet, frequenting the meadow-land, rich in grasses and flowers, just below 
the melting snow-beds in June (Lang), also taken at Ladakh and Cashmir. 
Note. —Moore’s Colias ShipJcee was published in October, 1865, Felder’s descrip¬ 
tion as well as his Plate 27 were not published till some time after that date ; the 
dates on Felder’s plates are the dates on which the proofs were completed, and seldom 
represent the date of publication. Dr. A. 0. Butler has commented on this in Ann. 
Mag. Nat. Hist. 1870, p. 2.

Imago. —Male. Upperside pale sulphur-yellow, nearly white. Forewing with the 
base, costal space and veins irrorated with black scales, a large, nearly oval black spot 
closing the cell, a broad black band, occupying the outer third of the wing, broadest at 
the apex, its inner margin recurved and irregular, a complete series of spear-shaped 
large spots of the ground colour through the middle of the band, one in each interspace, 
the first and third from the lower angle the smallest. Hindwing with some basal black 
irrorations, a large pale spot at the end of the cell, an apical black band, rather broad, 
almost filled with four large spear-shaped spots of the ground colour and not extending 
further hindwards. Underside whiter. For erring with a large black spot at the end of 
the cell, costal line orange, the veins prominent, the outer band space limited by a 
discal row of black spots, the lowest large, decreasing in size upwards and becoming 
obsolescent. Hindwing with a marginal band of faintly indicated large spear-shaped 
spots, on a pale ground, the remainder of the wing densely irrorated with greenish- 
grey scales, a large round white spot at the end of the cell.
