traversed by a fine dusky fulvous line and inwardly bordered by a series of small 
yellowish dentate spots disposed between the veins. Hindwing with the costal base 
broadly dull greyish-black, the outer margin broadly dull greyish-black anteriorly 
merging to dark fulvous-brown posteriorly, and traversed by a row of five small 
yellowish dentate spots; the costal interspace between the dark basal border and 
the outer band being grey-speckled; at the ripper end of the cell is a small narrow 
black spot, and a larger black spot above it between the subcostals. Underside. 
Both wings pale purpurescent greyish-brown, darkest basally and on outer borders; 
numerously covered with transversely disposed fine black strigrn, which are most 
conspicuous across the disc. Fovewing also with the discal strigas separated from 
the dark basal area by an irregular black discal line, and from the outer margin by 
a narrow black lunular medial fascia speckled with greenish-grey scales, and two 
upper series of black dentate marks and a lower inner series of similar marks ; 
from the lower base of the cell extend two oblique fine black looped-lines. Hind - 
wing also with the discal strigm separated from the basal dark area by a slender 
black interrupted line, which is bent upward above the anal angle and thence 
extends angularly up the abdominal margin; the outer margin traversed by a series 
of black dentate marks speckled with greenish-grey scales; at lower end of the cell 
is a pure white angled-mark like an oblique letter L. Body and palpi above 
olivescent-brown, beneath and legs pale brownish-grey; palpi externally edged with

Habitat. —Persia?; Beluchistan; Chitral; Turkestan. 
The above description and figures are taken from Chitral specimens in the 
collection of Mr. H. GLose-Smith, and differ from South European and Asia Minor 
examples of Fgea in having the ground-colour of the upperside darker, the markings 
and marginal bands also being darker. A male, from Turkestan, in Mr. J. H. Leech’s 
collection, agrees perfectly with the above. A female, from Quetta, Beluchistan, 
taken at 6500 feet elevation, and described by Mr. de Niceville (l.c. p. 237) is stated 
to M differ from European examples of Fgea in lacking the two round black spots on 
the disc of the forewing on the upperside, but there are traces of these spots, 
there being spots in their place of a deeper shade of fulvous than the ground¬ 
colour.”
