ON A NEW SUBSPECIES OF ISODEMA ADELMA, Feld. 

 By Percy I. Lathy, F.E.S. 



On comparing some Lepidoptera from Thibet with Chinese 

 forms in Mr. Adams's collection, I noticed among the series of 

 Isodema adelina, Feld., an example with an extremely narrow 

 band. I find that this specimen, which came from the Honrath 

 collection, is Felder's type, and bears the locality " Shanghai." 

 This example agrees well with the figure in ' Eeise Novarse,' and 

 I think the Central and Western Chinese and Thibetan forms 

 differ sufficiently to receive a varietal name, 



I give below the chief points of difference between this race 

 and the type : — 



Isodema adelma var. latifasciata, var. nov. 



Differs in the much larger cream-coloured patch within cell, 

 the patches between upper median nervule and submedian ner- 

 vure twice the size of those in typical adelma ; the submarginal 

 lunules of both wings below not nearly so well developed. 



Hah. Central China, Western China, and Thibet.
