^4 Mr. J. H. Leech's nctc spi'cics of 



first median nervule and bidentate between that point and the abdominal 

 margin, is followed by a dark brown band, which is broad towards costa and 

 attenuated towards abdominal margin ; there are no yellow markings between 

 this band and the well-formed ocelli, which are placed further from the margin. 

 5 . Primaries have a yellow macular submarginal band, slightly angu- 

 lated below costa, and a short oblique band, of the same colour, from middle 

 of costa extending almost to the svibmarginal band ; there is a black spot at 

 outer angle of secondaries. On the under surface of secondaries there are 

 some yellow spots, as in the same sex of L. nicetas. Expanse, <J 60 mm., 

 $ 64 mm. 



A few examples captured at Omei-Shan, in June and July, 

 1890 ; and I have a female specimen which was taken at Wa- 

 Shan, in June, 1889. 



Lethe gemina, sp. n. 

 (^ . Pale brownish, darker on the external margin of aU the wings ; the 

 primaries have a dusky angulated fascia beyond the middle, and a black spot 

 ringed with fulvous towards apex : the secondaries have four large black 

 submarginaf spots, set in fulvous rings and arranged in pairs ; the fourth spot 

 has a white centre, and the rings of the second and third are connected by a 

 fulvous patch which encloses a small black dash in its upper portion ; there 

 is a small black spot ringed with fulvous above anal angle, and a broad 

 fulvous line, edged internally with black, and preceded by a greyish line 

 parallel with outer margin. Under sitrface paler than above ; the primaries 

 have a broad pale violet-grey submarginal band from the apical ocellus to 

 inner margin ; a fulvous line, bordered internally with black and pale violet- 

 grey, parallel with outer margin : secondaries have a large ocellus at outer 

 angle, and a similar one, together with a minute one, at anal angle ; these 

 ocelli are bordered with pale violet-grey, and preceded by a curved and angu- 

 lated brown baud ; discal linear spot brown, followed by a pale violet-grey 

 patch. Expanse, 66 mm. 



This species belongs to the sij7-cis group of the genus ^Lethe. 

 One male specimen captured at Moupin, in July. 



NeOPE OBERTHiJRI, Sp. U. 



$ . Closely allied to Neope romanovi. Leech (Entom. xxiii, p. 29), with 

 which species it agrees almost exactly in the markings of the upper surface, 

 although the colour is darker. On the under surface the present species 

 differs from N. romanovi in the following characters : — The primaries are 

 reddish brown ; the discal cell is crossed by three black bars, the outer one 

 very broad ; beyond the cell is a blackish transverse band, broadest on the 

 costa, where it is outwardly bordered with white : there is a siibmarginal 

 series of seven spots ; the first is a small white one on the costa ; the second, 

 pale but ill-defined ; third, a true ocelhis with white pupil ; fourth, an irre- 

 gular white blotch ; fifth and sixth, large black spots surrounded with pale 

 fulvous ; seventh, a large pale fulvous patch. The secondaries are dark brown 

 suffused with purplish, with blackish ill-defined transverse lines on the basal 

 half of the wing ; the limiting line is blackish, sinuate, bordered outwardly 

 with whitish and inwardly with pale brown, and unites with a fairly large 

 black spot about the centre of the wing ; the ocelli are seven in number, and 

 arranged in a true curve. Clubs of auteniiae, are black, tipped with reddish; 

 in N. romanovi the clubs are entirely reddish. Expanse, 80 mm. 



One female specimen taken in July, at Omei-Shan.
