(4) A specimen from the Salween Valley, N. Shan States, 3000 ft. (ex. coll. 

 Watson). 



Wings, upperside. Forewing as in marwax, median bars SC — R° very thin. 



Hindwing : postdisco-submarginal patch C" — SO" with white dot, the following 



withont white dots, second patch one-fourth larger than the first, patches R' — M* 

 gradually diminishing in size. 



Underside as in aristogiton, median bar R* — R' of forewing closer to cell, 

 admarginal region of hindwing more yellow ; npjier tail short, very broad at base, 

 second tail scarcely indicated, dentition of wing obsolete. 



Penis with some lateral teeth, dorsal teeth as in marmax, penis-funnel as in 

 aristogiton. 



Length of forewing: 35J mm. 



(5) A specimen without locality agrees with No. 4, it has, however, the outer 

 edge of the forewing more extended tawny yellow, the underside a little more 

 variegated with yellow ; cell with dot 3 present. Penis feebly denticulated above, 

 without lateral patch of teeth, penis-funnel as in aristogiton. 



(tj) A specimen labelled " Shan States ? " has the median bars of the forewing 

 above well-marked ; the discal interspaces are paler than in marmax a,nd. aristogiton; 

 postdiscal tawny orange spots and discal bars as in aristogiton, but tawny spot SC — 

 SO' marked, margin all black, except before SM-, the tawny colour faintly vestigial 

 between veins. The postdisco-submarginal patches all large as in No. 3, second 

 only with a distinct white dot. 



Underside as in No. 2, but admarginal interspaces less yellow ; tail short, 

 dentition not obsolete. 



Penis nearly as in marmax. 



Length of forewing : 39 mm. 



Moore's adamsoni is based upon a single specimen from the Mepley Valley, 

 Upper Tenasserim, resembling specimen (2) ; the tawny interstitial spots SC^ — R* 

 of the forewing above are completely isolated, the black postdisco-submarginal 

 patches C — R- of the hindwing have no white centres and spots R' — SM- are minute.

S . Wings above similar to those of Ch. marmax. Forewing : discal luniform 



bars R" — SM" thin, the posterior ones often obsolete, bars SC^ — R^ varying in width, 

 the uppermost one often comjiletely fused with the postdisco-submarginal patches ; 

 postdiscal interspaces SC* — SM" always developed, the posterior ones wider than the 

 black postdisco-submarginal patches, interspace SO' — SO^ mostly filled up with 

 black ; of the postdisco-subniargiual patches patch R' — R" obvionsly smaller than 

 patches 80^ — R' and R^ — R^ all the patches separated from edge of wing, but the 

 middle ones often extending very close to it ; middle of wing paler than basal area. 



Hindwing : median bar — SC* or bars C — R" black, bar R'' — R^ seldom 



vestigial ; submedian bar V, — SO^ black or brown, at least vestigial ; postdisco- 

 submarginal patch — SO^ not, or not much, smaller than the following patch, the
