Lepidoptera from China. 5 



placed in a series running from middle of costa towards inner angrle, and the 

 last two are situated further in, and are directly under the third spot of the 

 whole series ; towards apex are three other yellowish spots, the first on the 

 costa, and the last just above third spot of central series ; the discal cell is 

 crossed by two yellow bars, and clouded with yellow beyond termination of 

 cell. Secondai'ies have a broad yellow central fascia terminating at the sub- 

 median nervure. Under surface pale sage-green ; the markings as above, 

 but those of primaries are bordered with black towards inner angle. Antennae 

 dark brown, tipped with black. Expanse, 80 mm. 



Two males, Chang- Yang (native collector). 



This species is unlike any Euthalia with which I am 

 acquainted. The second and third apical spots and the initial 

 pair of central series are really the inner and outer portions of 

 two longitudinal bars, whose centres are occupied by fuliginous 

 clouds. 



PlERIS EURYDICE, Sp. n. 

 Closely allied to P. vielete, Men., with which species both sexes agree in 

 general characters, but they are respectively larger ; the clubs of the antennae 

 are not tipped with yellow ; the disco-cellular nervule of primaries is oblique 

 and without indentation ; this nervule and the median nerve are thickly 

 bordered with black scales ; there are two black spots in the second median 

 interspace (confluent in the female) ; the black apical border of primaries is 

 narrower, and extends along outer margin as far as first median nervule, and 

 there is a small black spot at the end of second median interspace. The 

 female is less suffused with black than the same sex of P. '^nelete. Expanse, 

 ^ 80— 86 mm., ? 72—76 mm. 



Occurs at Wa-Shan ; Chia-Kou-Ho and Huang-Mu- Chang in 

 July; also at Chang-Yang. 



HETEEOCERA. 

 Ueapteryx nigeociliaris, sp. n. 



Satiny white ; the outer margin of secondaries is bidentated. Primaries 

 are traversed by two oblique narrow black bands, and between them is a short 

 transverse black bar ; the apex and fringes are black, and the costa has some 

 linear spots of the same colour. Secondaries have a discal spot, from which 

 a brownish narrow band runs obliquely towards the outer margin, but 

 terminates in the first median interspace ; a brownish cloud on the middle 

 of outer marginal area precedes two black-ringed red spots ; fringes black. 

 Under surface white ; primaries with a broad black bar at end of discal cell, 

 followed by a black transverse band, which terminates in an acute point near 

 inner margin ; the inner transverse band of the upper surface is faintly 

 reproduced ; outer marginal area transversely streaked with fuliginous, and 

 these streaks show through on the upper surface ; secondaries have a large 

 black spot on the disc, and a similar one directly above on the costa ; the 

 marginal area is marked with fuliginous as on primaries, but with two 

 fuliginous spots to represent the red ones of upper side. Head orange in 

 front, white above. Antennse pectinated in both sexes, but the pectinations 

 are very short in the female. Expanse, ^ 78 — 90 mm., J 82 — 90 mm. 



A number of specimens were taken at Huang-Mu-Chang in 

 July. 



Ueapteryx parallelaria, sp. n. 



2 . Closely allied to U. nigrociliaris, but smaller ; the transverse bands 

 are parallel, slightly angulated below costa, and the outer one is placed 

 nearer to the discal bar ; on the secondaries the discal spot is punctiform,
