Kashmir, Gulmarg (8800 feet), Killanmarg ( 10,500 feet), June, 
July ( T . B. Fletcher ); 39 ex. (only 1 £ ). Specimens from the 
higher elevation tend to be lighter, greyer, and more obsoletely 
marked, but cannot otherwise be specifically distinguished. In form 
of wing, colouring, and normal markings closely resembling the 
European incertcmci , but larger (average size almost of chrysanthe- 
mana ), antennae slenderer and more shortly ciliated, and differing 
in genitalia.
