llhopnhcera from N.W. China. 29 



wings are reddish brown, suffused with violet-grey ; the folvous markings of 

 the upper side are faintly visible : there are some whitish spots and clouds 

 at the apex of primaries, and three pale spots ringed with reddish brown on 

 the basal area of secondaries. Expanse, <? 78 mm., $ 90 mm. 



Omei-Shan and Kwei-Chow, July. 



EUTHALIA CONSOBRINA, Sp. n. 



Allied to E.pratti, Leech (ante, p. 4), but more olivaceous ; the macular 

 band of primaries is more oblique : on the secondaries there are two dark 

 transverse bands beyond the middle ; the first is not well defined, and near 

 the costa edged with white : the second is parallel with outer margin, and 

 broadest towards costa. Under surface similar to that of E. patala, KolL, 

 but the spots forming the oblique band of primaries are smaller and 

 differently shaped. Antennae black ; clubs broadly tipped with pale fulvous 

 above, entirely fulvous beneath. Expanse, 70 — 88 mm. 



Omei-Shan, June and July. 



EUTHALIA OMEIA, Sp. n. 



^. Pale yellowish-brown, with olivaceous reflections ; the markings are 

 very like those oi Euthalia{Adolias) ariyte, Hew.," but the outer edge of the 

 central band is less indented ; the second transverse band is nearer the outer 

 margin, and there are no indications of any round spots on the space between 

 these bands ; below the median nervure is a large, ill-defined, triangular, 

 fuscous-brown patch, limited externally by the central band, and extending 

 upwards as far as the second median nervule. Secondaries brown, tinged 

 with olivaceous, with a broad j^ellow patch occupying the costal half of the 

 wing, but not quite extending to the outer margm. Under surface yellowish, 

 the inner marginal area of secondaries tinged with green ; the markings are 

 similar to those of E. anyte, but there are no pale spots on the primaries, 

 and those on the secondaries are not well defined. Antennae black, with the 

 club broadly tipped with yellow above, and entirely fulvous beneath. 

 Expanse, 70 mm. 



Omei-Shan, June and July. 



The broad yellow patch on secondaries at once distinguishes 

 this species from its congeners. 



Apatura subc^rulea, sp. n. 



$ . Primaries fuliginous, basal half tinged with greenish ; the central 

 yellowish-white fascia is represented by three spots below costa and three 

 below second median nervule ; the submarginal band is indicated by some 

 yellowish-white spots ; the largest of these are placed in the subcostal and 

 median interspaces ; in the first median interspace there is also a round but 

 obscure black spot ; some fulvous spots towards anal angle. Secondaries 

 fuliginous, tinged with green over the basal three-fourths ; on the outer limit 

 of this green suffusion are some fulvous spots, most distinct towards costa, 

 and a black spot towards anal angle ; the pale outer margin is interrupted at 

 the nervules with fuliginous, and intersected by a transverse fuliginous line. 

 Under surface whitish-blue : primaries are clouded with fuscous along the 

 inner margin and on central area, and the markings of upper side are repro- 

 duced : the secondaries are traversed by a silvery white fascia (faintly showing 

 through on the upper side), bordered internally with pale ochreous-brown 

 and an external sulfusion of the same colour ; the spot above anal angle has 

 a pale centre, and is ringed with pale fulvous ; a pale oclireous-brown line,
