LEPIBOPTERA INDICA. 
Habitat.— V.W". Himalayas. 
Histbibution. Capf. A. M. Lang records it as C£ occurring but sparingly in 
Kunawur, where I captured it at altitudes of about 9,000 or 10,000 feet, in the 
Wungur, Kazhang, and Buspa Valleys. Ifc has a slow, heavy flight, and is fond of 
pitching on the late Umbelliferous plants, which arise above the dense masses of 
flowers carpeting the glades in these wooded valleys during the rainy months of July 
and August. Specimens from Kaschmir appear to be lighter in colour than those 
from Kunawur” (Ent. Mo. Mag. 1868, 33). Capt. H. B. Hellard obtained it in 
“ Pangi, Busahir, in July and August, in the Rajdiangau Pass, and in Gulmurg, in 
Kaschmir, in August and September” (MS. Votes). Mr. P. W. Mackinnon records 
it as “ very rare, obtained only at 12,000 or 13,000 feet elevation, on the slopes of 
the Hills above the Buspa Valley and on the Borenda Pass, in July and August ” 
(J. Bombay V. H. Soc. 1898, 589). Mr. E. T. Atkinson took it in the Unpin Pass, 
Spiti. In Mr. J. H. Leech’s Collection are specimens from Groorais Valley, 
Kashmir, taken in September ; Kukti, 8,500 feet, in July; Dugi Pass, 12,000 feet, 
August and September, taken by Capt. Thompson. Mr. A. Grote possessed a 
specimen taken at Vaini Tal.

Imago. —Male. Upperside black. Forewing with a white slender streak at 
base of the costa, a creamy-white large broad streak occupying the basal three- 
fourths of the cell, its outer end being pointed, a discal transverse series of more or 
less oval spots, and a large elongated slightly-divided lower streak beneath the cell, 
followed by an outer marginal row of small whitish duplex-spots. Mindwing with a 
creamy-white basal costal streak, a streak almost filling the cell, a curved inner- 
discal series of small oval spots and slender elongated lower and abdominal- 
marginal streaks, and then an outer marginal row of small whitish duplex-spots. 
Underside duller black. Forewing with white markings as above, except that the 
marginal duplex-spots are more elongated. Hindwing with markings, as on 
upperside, tinted with pale yellow, the basal spot being chrome-yellow, the marginal 
duplex-spots all elongated and closely approximating to the discal spots. 
Female. Upperside paler black than in the male. Both wings with similar 
markings, the marginal duplex-spots being more elongated. Underside similar to 
the male. 
Expanse, d 2f, ? 3 inches.
