the underside. Underside. Forewing with the costal edge and the interspaces 
longitudinally between the apical bands very pale reddish-ochreous ; the black cell- 
bar and apical bands paler than on upperside, the marginal marks being divided by 
the pale vein ends. Hindwing very pale reddish-ochreous, with blackish streaks 
bordering the veins, these streaks outwardly-forming on the disc and on the outer 
margin a series of short duplex streaks, each pair being divided by the pale vein ; 
broken cell streak larger. Body black ; front of head pale reddish-ochreous ; palpi 
whitish and fringed with blackish hairs ; legs whitish; abdomen white beneath ; 
antennae black, shaft ringed with white. 
Female. Upperside white. Forewing with the black cell-bar slightly broader, 
the discal transverse band and the marginal spots extending to the submedian vein, 
their apical portions being more or less slightly coalescent along the veins. 
Hindwing with the black cell-streak broader and less broken, the basal area and 
the cell borders more broadly black-scaled, the discal curved macular band distinctly 
black, and the marginal marks blackish-scaled. Underside similar to the male, 
except that on th e forewing the outer bands extend to the submedian vein. 
Expanse, 1 ^ to 1^ inch.

Distribution.' —The type specimen was obtained in Lahoul by the Rev. J. H. 
Hocking. We possess a male from Ladak. Mr. W. Pothschild has several 
examples of both sexes from N. Kaschmir. Mr. H. Grose-Smith also has it from 
the same locality. In Mr. J. H. Leech’s Collection are both sexes from the Digha 
Pass, N. side, 15,000 feet, June; Kardong Pass, 15 to 17,000 feet, August ; and 
Karakoram, 18,000 feet, July, all taken by Capt. H. McArthur.

Male. Larger than same sex of Butleri. Upperside. Forewing with similar black 
discocellular bar and apically-dilated anterior veins only, the contiguous upper- 
discal short black band being absent. Hindwing with the black discocellular 
bar less defined and its two ends distinctly, medially disconnected; the dusky 
shades bordering the outer veins being either less distinctly interrupted across the 
disc or continuous from their base to tip. Underside. Forewing with the black 
cell-bar broken in its middle, with similar apical vein-borderings, but no upper-discal 
fascia apparent. Hindiving with the black bordering to the veins, but those of the 
outer series being either less interrupted or entire—and thus form a more linear 
unbroken series of streaks. Female. Upperside either white or tinted with very
