Lejndoptera from Kiukiang. 113 



specimens I have from Japan. Compared with female 

 ncqn from other locahties, the under side of hind wings 

 are of a richer and much deeper yellow. Marking and 

 shape of wing variable. 



59. Callidryas crocale, Cram., Pap. Exot., i., t. 55, 

 figs, c, D. 



Callidryas jugurtha, Cram., op. c, ii. t. 187, figs, e, f. 



Only one example. 



60. Rhodocera I'hamni, Linn. 

 Rhodocera nipalensis, Doubl., Gen. Diurn. Lep., p. 71 



(1847). 

 R. maxima, Butl., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1885, 



p. 407. 

 Specimens from Kiukiang are larger and deeper 

 coloured than any others with which I am acquainted. 



Rhodocera acuminata, Feld. (Wien. Ent. Mon., vi., 

 p. 23, 1862), also occurs at Kiukiang. I am unable to 

 form an opinion as to whether it is a variety of R. rhamni 

 or a distinct species. The females are very easily 

 distinguished, but I have some males which appear to 

 be intermediate between acuminata and rhamni. 



61. Colias hyale, Linn.; P. Z. S., 1887, p. 408, n. 23. 



Seems common, and is as variable as in Japan. The 

 yellow form of the female appears to predominate. 



62. Sericinus telamon, Don , Ins. China, t. xxvii., fig. 1 

 (1798) ; P. Z. S., 1887, 404, n. 12. 



Seems common at Kiukiang. I have received over one 

 hundred specimens, among which are individuals corre- 

 sponding in every particular with the named forms, and 

 also intermediates linking one form with another. 



63. Papilio elwesi, n. s. (PI. VII., fig. 1). 



Male. Ground colour of all the wings black. Primaries and 

 anterior portion of secondaries thickly sprinkled with whitish 

 scales on each side of the nervures and nervules, which gives the 

 insect a grey and streaked appearance. Posterior portion of
