from Western China. 59 



Very dark shining brown, instead of being tinged with olive ; the wings are 

 rounder, and the outer margins of secondaries are not so indented; the 

 position of the two apical spots is also different. The colouring of the under 

 surface more nearly resembles that of E. germanus, Oberth., l. c, fig. 48, 

 but the apical spots of primaries and the position of the dark bands on 

 secondaries at once distinguish it from that species. Expanse, 48 mm. 



Taken at Pu-tsu-fong in June. 



Sykichthus OBERTHiiRi, sp. n. 



Closely allied to Syriclithus onaculatus, Brem., with which it agrees 

 almost exactly in colour and ornamentation of upper surface, but the outer 

 macular band is less angulated. The under surface of secondaries is olive- 

 green or grey, with white basal and central bands formed of connected spots, 

 which in the central series are of various shapes, one of these below costa is 

 bar-shaped ; between the bands the costa is white, with a round spot below 

 of the same colour; the submarginal line is also white, waved, and 

 interrupted. Expanse, 83 — 35 mm. 



Several specimens from Wa-ssu-kou, where they were taken 

 at an elevation of 5000 feet in May and June. 



Pamphila pulchra, sp. n. 



3" . Fuscous. Primaries have some yellowish scales on the basal and 

 outer marginal areas, and are traversed by two pale yellow macular bands ; 

 the initial spot of outer band is somewhat lunular, and is placed inwards on 

 the costa. The secondaries have three pale yellow spots on the central area, 

 but the first of these lies towards outer angle ; there is a smaller yellow spot 

 towards the base of the wing, and some indications of a pale yellow 

 submarginal band. The under surface is ^brownish ; primaries have the 

 bands as above, but the space between them is clouded with blackish, and 

 the basal half of the wing is washed with pale ochreous ; secondaries are 

 suffused with pale ochreous along the costal area, and have a silvery longi- 

 tudinal central streak, which is interrupted about the middle, and its outer 

 portion expands into an irregular shaped blotch ; there is a round silvery 

 spot above the blotch, another below it, and a short club-shaped streak 

 before the abdominal margin ; a conspicuous fuscous spot lies above the 

 central streak, and there are three or four silvery spots towards anal angle, 

 representing a submarginal band ; marginal line silvery grey. Fringes of 

 primaries fuscous, faintly chequered with grey-brown, and preceded by a 

 black line ; those of the secondaries are grey-brown, paler towards extremities. 

 Expanse, 29 mm. 



In the ornamentation of the under surface of secondaries 

 this species is something like Pamphila avanti, de Niceville,* 

 but in other respects it is very different, and quite unlike any 

 other species with which I am acquainted. 



Several specimens from Ta-chein-lu and Wa-ssu-kou, where 

 they occurred in June and July. 



Carterocephalus gemmatus, sp. n. 



Allied to Carteroceijlialus niveoniaculatus, Oberth. (Etud. d'Entom. xi., 

 p. 27, pi. ii., fig. 8), but on the upper surface the primaries have a white spot 

 at the base of the cell, another towards outer end of cell, and four smaller 

 ones beyond, forming, in conjunction with the four apical spots, an interrupted 

 band ; the secondaries have one large white central spot, and in some speci-
