68 New Species of Rhopalocera from Western China. 



traces of a white pupil ; the submarojinal hne is broad and pale, but not well 

 defined. Under sm-face pale brown, strongly suffused with lilacine on the basal 

 two-thirds of all the wings, and apical third of fore wings ; the primaries 

 are traversed by two broad rufous brown parallel lines, both are rather 

 wavy, but the first does not quite attain the costa ; the cell is crossed by a 

 bar of the same colour ; there is a small ocellus towards apex, with two white 

 spots below it, and a pale cloud above ; submarginal line wavy and dusky, 

 ill-defined below costa, and diffused below third median nervule ; marginal 

 line rufous brown : secondaries are traversed by two rufous-brown lines, the 

 outer one curved, and beyond it is a series of six ocelli, of which the first and 

 sixth are the largest, the last is bipupilated, and the white piipil of the fourth 

 is conspicuously large ; submarginal and marginal lines as on primaries. 

 Fringes white, chequered with brown at the extremities of the nervules. 



? . Similar to the male, but the outer third of primaries is paler, limited 

 by a narrow dusky band, and the white spots are more distinct ; the apical 

 half of the outer third of secondaries is also paler, and the fourth black spot 

 has a large white central spot. 



Expanse, $• 56 — 74 mm., $ 63—80 mm. 



Moupin ; Omei-Shan, July and August; Chang- Yang. 



Allied to Lethe hhairava, Moore, but, apart from its paler 

 colour, it is easily distinguishable from that species by the 

 different character of the sexual mark in the male, and the 

 different marking of the under surface. 



Neope (Satyrus) armandii, Oherthur, Etud. d'Entom. ii., p. 26, 

 pi. ii., fig. 5 (1876). 

 Neope khasiana, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1881, p. 306. 



YsiY.fusca, var. nov. 



Primaries mi;ch as in the type, but a trifle darker in colour ; the 

 secondaries are brown, instead of yellow as in the type, but the black spots 

 are more or less completely encircled with yellowish. The general appear- 

 ance of the upper surface is very like that of Neoj^e romanovi, Leech 

 (Entom. xxiii., p. 29). 



This form was obtained only at Chang- Yang and Omei-Shan 

 in July and August.
