(id, lx.).

Distribution (Within our Area). — Major H. Roberts obtained it at “ Kandahar, 
being common in May and June, frequenting the rocky uncultivated slopes of the 
Hills, where the food plant grows. The larva was found in the middle of May and 
June on the wild Mignonette growing on the rocky hills and slopes ” (l.c. 1880, 410). 
Col. C. Swinhoe records it from “ Kandahar, taken in June ” (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1885, 
343). We possess two females labelled, Deraj at, S.W. Punjab. 
Of our illustrations on Plate 521, fig. 2 is from a male, and fig. 2a, b, from the 
female type of Vipasa, from Derajat.
