LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 
well isolated, the costal border black; the marginal black band traversed by broad 
lunules of the same bright fulvous as the ground-colour, and also outwardly 
speckled with fulvous-grey. Underside greyish sepia-brown, brownest on the basal 
areas, the outer areas numerously covered with very fine black strigse and traversed 
by a discal row of slightly-perceptible black dots with pale borders; comma-shaped 
mark slender. 
Expanse, d ? , 2 to 2^ inches. 
Dry-season form (Plate 319, fig. 2, b, c, <$). 
Upperside clear fulvous-yellow; of a uniform tint throughout; marginal 
lunules on the hindwing of the same colour; black markings somewhat larger. 
Underside dark ochreous-brown, darker throughout than in wet form of cogncita . 
Expanse, 2 inches. 
Habitat. —Nepal; Ohumbi, Sikkim ; N. W. Bhotan. 
Distribution. —The type specimens of agnicula were taken at Katmandu, in 
Nepal, by the late Major-Gen. G. Bamsay. Mr. H. J. Elwes records his type of 
tibetana as having been taken by native collectors in Ohumbi and N. W. Bhotan 
(Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 363). Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 122) records 
agnicula as having been taken by himself on the Pindari Glacier, 12,000 feet 
elevation, and Byans Valley, in Eastern Kumaon, 12,000 to 15,000 feet elevation, 
and remarks, cc These species ( C-album and Agnicula) are closely allied, but I have 
been able to separate my own specimens by means of slight differences in the 
prehensores, as well as by the shape and colouring.’* 
Our illustrations of this species on Plate 319, figs. 2,2a, are from a Nepal type of 
Agnicula ( wet-season form); and figs. 2b, c, from a male dry-season form, from 
Chumbi, kindly given to me by Mr. Elwes.

almost obsolescent; a dusky-castaneous oblique patch before the apex, its costal
