^S Mr. J. H. Leech's 7iew species of 



bordered outwardly by a pale fascous band, ■which is traversed by a broad 

 line of the ground colour. Secondaries have some blackish marks on basal 

 area ; the central area is traversed by a blackish band, which commences 

 below a whitish spot on costa, and becomes indistinct towards abdominal 

 margin ; beyond is a broad band, darker than the ground colour ; the outer 

 fourth of wing is pale fuscous, intersected by an interrupted blackish band, 

 the anal extremitj' of which is represented by two velvety black spots, and a 

 band of the ground colour. Expanse, 74 mm. 



Two male specimens taken at Omei-Shan in July. 

 This species is allied to L. populi var. tremulce, Esp., but is 

 easily separated therefrom. 



LiMENITIS ALBOMACULATA, Sp. n. 



(J . Velvety black ; an elongated oval white spot, edged externally with 

 bluish, is placed obliquely on the central area of primaries, and a smaller white 

 spot lies towards the apex of the wing ; a large white transverse oval spot 

 occupies the central area of the secondaries, — this is edged outwardly with 

 blue, but its lower end is not well defined. Fringes of the ground colour 

 chequered with white. Under surface reddish brown : primaries have an 

 abbreviated oblique central fascia, bluish white ; the discal cell is nearly 

 filled up with blackish, and crossed by two bluish white bars ; there is a 

 broad, blackish, longitudinal dash in each nervular interspace, — these are 

 more or less interrupted towards outer margin ; towards apex there are two 

 white spots, the lower of these is nearly round : secondaries have the basal 

 half bluish white, except along the costal area, which is reddish brown ; 

 central transverse fascia slightly curved and attenuated towards the anal 

 angle ; the median portion of this band is white, the extremities bluish, and 

 it is bordered on each side by a blackish line ; on the outer marginal area is 

 a double series of black spots, both followed by an interrupted violet-grey 

 transverse line. Expanse, 64 — 76 mm. 



Moupin, at an elevation of from 10,000 to 12,000 feet. 



This species has a superficial resemblance to Athyma punc- 

 tata, Leech (Entom. xxiii. p. 33), and also to Hypolimnas 

 misippus, Linn. 



Abrota pratti, sp. n. 



^. Allied to Abrota 7jur its, Fabr., but darker in coloration. The pri- 

 maries are traversed by a black band as in A. minis, but the space between 

 median nervure and inner margin is not filled in with blackish ; the cell is 

 closed by a blackish open bar, and there are some other blackish marks 

 within the cell ; the black submarginal band is composed of lunulated spots, 

 and is preceded by some more or less round black spots towards costa and 

 inner margin ; two pale spots near apex. The secondaries have a small 

 black spot in the centre of basal area, and beyond are two equidistant black 

 bands between first subcostal and first median nervules, — the outer one is 

 broadest, and is interrupted by the second subcostal nervule ; submarginal 

 black band fairly broad and well defined ; the outer margin of all the wings 

 is naiTowly bordered with black. Under surface brownish, suffused with 

 violet-grey ; markings darker, similar in form and position to those of 

 A. mirus, except as regards the central line of all the wings, which in this 

 species is broader and straight. 



5 Similar to the same sex of Abrota minis, but the markings on upper 

 surface are narrower, more clearly defined, and brighter fulvoris ; the apical 

 white spots are much smaller, and the band in the cell is intersected through 

 half its length by an interrupted black line. On the under surface all the
