veins slenderly black lined, the black cell-streak broader, the transverse discal and 
its marginally-united black band also broad, with the enclosed series of white spots 
more sharply defined. Hindwing with the end of the outer veins distinctly black- 
lined ; a discal curved row of blackish speckled points, and a few black scales 
edging the discocellular veinlet. Underside. Forewing similar to the upperside, 
except that the outer bands are narrower. Hmdwing pale yellow, the base of costa 
chrome-yellow ; all the veins black bordered; the curved series of discal points 
prominent. 
Expanse, d lf 0 inch. 
Habitat. —Beluchistan ; ? Persia. 
Distribution. —Mr. H. Grose-Smith’s type specimen is recorded from Quetta. 
Capt. A. M. Lang obtained it in the Ziarut Pass, Kwass Valley, at 8,000 feet altitude, 
in June. In Mr. J. H. Leech’s Collection are specimens labelled “ Persia,” which 
are probably referable to this species.

with an upper discal series of very slightly apparent whitish-scaled short longitudinal

yellow ; all the veins broadly black bordered, enclosing a pale yellow elongated cell 
streak, a subcostal streak, a discal series of streaks, and then an outer marginal row 
of indented quadrate spots. Body black; thorax and front clothed with fine 
greyish silky hairs; abdomen beneath greyish-white; antennae black, the tip of 
club ochreous-white ; legs black. 
Female. Upperside similar to the male, except that on the forewing the cell 
and lower base is more or less greyish-white scaled, the discal spots as prominently 
white as the marginal, those of the former extending more or less diffusedly to the 
posterior margin, and on the hmdwing the cell and disc is more or less prominently 
interspaced with white streaks. Underside similar to the male, except that on the 
forewing the discal spots extend to the posterior margin. 
Expanse, 3 to 3J inches.
