HETEROPTERUS; LEPTALINA; DEJEANIA; PAMPHILA. By P. Mabille. 



28. Genus: Heteropterus Dune. 



Antennae short, less than half the length of the costa; the club short, straight, obtuse. Palpi 

 porrect, third segment short. Vein o of forewing nearer to 4. Hinchving rounded. Abdomen reaching 

 beyond anal angle of hindwing. Protibia with a short spur on inner side; hindtibia with two pairs 

 of spurs. 

 morpheiis. H. morpheus Pall. (= steropes Schiff.) (87 b). Forewing above black with 3 apical dots and a 



spot each in cellules 4 and 5. Some $$ have on the hindwing a row of 4 or 5 yellow dashes and a 

 small dot in the cell. The forewing bears beneath a spot in the cell, another proximally to the apical 

 dots and a narrow short band near the margin. The hindwing has three rows of oval, mother-of-pearl 

 spots which are surrounded by small yellow spots, there being also a narrow yellow band near the margin. 

 The butterfly is called „mirror" on account of the mother-of-pearl spots. Europe, Asia, eastwards to Japan. 



29. Genus: lieptalina Mab. 



Forewing narrow, with prolonged apex. Protibia without spur on the inner side; hindtibia with 

 only one pair of spurs. Abdomen extending far beyond the hindwing. 



iinicolor. L. unicolor Brem. (87 b, only the upperside). Black, above without spots. Beneath the apex of 



the forewing and the whole hindwing dull ochreous, sometimes yellowish grey with an indistinct yellowish 

 streak from the base at the inner margin. Palpi, pectus and underside of abdomen pale yellow, ab. 

 ornatus. ornatus Brem. (87 b, the underside named ,, unicolor") differs only in the hindwing bearing two very- 

 light, silvery white, broad stripes, one in the middle and the other in cellule 1 a. The ground traversed 

 by the whitish veins. Intermediate specimens bear white streaks between the veins besides the two broad 

 ones. Amur, Central China, .Japan. 



oO. Genus: Dejeania Oberth. 



Antennae with obtuse club. Palpi porrect. Vein 5 of forewing midway between 4 and 6; this 

 vein well developed in the hindwing. Hindtibia with two pairs of spurs. 



bicolor. D. bicolor Oberth. (87 a, b). Black, on the forewing with a broad yellow band which extends from 



the costa to the hindmargin. On the discocellular a black dot. On the underside the forewing has the 

 same band as above and the hindwing bears a narrow yellow band which runs obliquely from the costal 

 margin to the anal angle. Body black above and beneath. Tibet; Tse-kou, Siao-lu. 



31. Genus: Pamx>liila F. 



Antennae shorter than half the costa; ^club thick and obtuse. Palpi porrect. Hindtibia with one 

 pair of spurs, one species excepted. In order to render the determination of the species more easy we 

 givi' a key to this genus: 



1. Hindwing beneath without light spot in the centre of cellule 8 or with >i light spots in this 

 cellule 2. 



Hindwing beneath with a light spot in the centre of cellule 8 6. 



2. Hindwing beneath with 3 macular bands of a lighter colour than the ground, the spots being 

 very distinct and separated 8. 



Hindwing beneath with the spots less distinct or quite absent, being sometimes only repre- 

 sented by black dots 4. 



3. Forewing pale yellow with 3 oblique black spots on the disc and another spot in. the cell, 

 silvius. there being also a marginal row of small black dots P. silvius Knock (87 h, c). 



Forewing black, with 3 rows of pale spots, namely: a row at the base, connected with a 

 very large cell-spot, a second row between the branches of the veins, of which the two spots in 

 cellules 5 and 6 are situated much beyond the row, and lastly a marginal row of dull, jiale, 

 palacmon. small spots P. palaemon Pall. (= paniscus F., brontes ScJiiff.) (87 c). 



4. Forewing pale yellow above with black spots. The spot of the cell of the hindwing likewise 

 houangty. black, extending from the base to the discocellular P. houangty Oberth. (87 b). 



Hindwing black, with pale spots 5. 



5. Hindwing beneath with silver markings, viz. a stripe above the anterior edge of the cell, a 

 semicircular spot in cellule 4, a dot at the margin in cellule 6, another rounded spot at the 

 base of cellule 2, a key-shaped one at the base of cellule 1 b, and lastly a marginal row of 



pulchra. small dots P. pulchra Leech {= ops Gr.-Grsh.) (87 c). 



Wings black. Forewing above with 5 large pale spots, hindwing with 4 only. On the hind- 

 abax. wing a broad whitish stripe from the base of the cell to the distal margin P.abaxObertJi. {87 c).
