102 Mr. Leech on a collection of 



meridionalis been received ; the form usually known by 

 this name is really only an intermediate between Felder's 

 variety and the type, and such is Eomanoff's fig. 10, 

 pi. xvi., in ' Memoirs sur les lepidopteres.' 



Herr Honrath {' Entomologische Nachrichten,' xiv., 

 p. 161) describes a variety of M. halimede from Kiukiang, 

 and there is little doubt the specimens he refers to were 

 some of my duplicates. The form he refers to as lugens 

 is an intermediate between the two examples I have 

 figured. 



7. Palaonympha opalina, Butl., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 

 1871, p. 404; Lep. Exot., p. 86, pi. xxxiii., fig. 3. 

 Of this rare species I received a long series ; it seems 

 to be constant.

 '' Satyrus bipunctatus, Motsch., Et. Ent., ix., p. 29. 



Var. sibirica, Stand., Cat., p. 29. 



Judging from the number of specimens sent this must 

 be one of the most abundant species in Central China. 



9. Mycalesis regalis, n. s. (PL VIII., figs. 2 ^ , 2a, ? ). 



Male. Ground colour of all the wings blackish brown with 

 violet reflections. Primaries traversed by a broad lilac-blue fascia 

 from the 1st subcostal nervule to the anal angle, its inner edge 

 touching the discoidal cell. 



Female. Has the male colouring, but the violet reflections are 

 more subdued. Lilac-blue fascia much narrower and more curved. 

 All the wings with more rounded outer margins. 



Under side of both sexes chocolate. Outer margins of primaries 

 broadly bluish grey, with a violet tinge, enclosing a row of five, 

 sometimes six, small ocelli, beyond which is an angulated double 

 line of the ground colour. Outer margin of secondaries bluish 

 grey, intersected by a wavy line of the ground colour. A sub- 

 marginal series of from five to seven ocelli with white pupils and 

 reddish brown irides, of which the second, third, and seventh, 

 counting from the anterior margin, are often very faint. Internal 

 to the ocelli is a series of bluish grey crescents. 



Head, thorax, and upper surface of abdomen black. Legs and 

 Under surface of abbomen dark chocolate, Antennse black.
