Lepidoptera from Kiukiang. Ill 



bordered on its inner margin by a few bluish scales. Fringes of 

 all the wings white, merging into black at the apex of primaries. 



Under side : all the wings whitish grey. Primaries with a short 

 darker transverse bar at the end of discal cell, beyond which 

 is a darker broken band running from the costa towards the inner 

 margin. Secondaries with two small dark spots near the base of 

 wing, and a short darkish discal bar ; beyond this is an irregular 

 arrangement of darkish markings. Above the tail is a small 

 black spot surrounded with yellow, a slender streak of which 

 colour runs parallel with the hind margin to the black anal lunule, 

 and then, turning at a right angle, traverses a third of the abdo- 

 minal fold. 



Expanse, 32 mm. 



This species is variable on the under side both in 

 shade of colour and in the intensity of the markings. 

 In these respects four of the six specimens I received 

 from Kiukiang differ somewhat from the examples de- 

 scribed above. The anal lunule on upper surface of 

 secondaries is also subject to variation, as in one example 

 it is pale yellow, and in another bluish. 



I took a few specimens of this insect at Foochau in 

 April, 1886.

Occurs in July, and cannot be distinguished from 

 Japanese specimens.
