I took one example of the type form at Nagasaki in 

 June, and there was one from Oiwake in Fryer's collec- 

 tion ; there were also two specimens of mmrens, Butl.^ 

 from Oiwake and Yokohama, in the same collection. In 

 this form the yellow anal patch of secondaries is almost or 

 quite absent, and the wings generally are more opaque ; 

 I have exactly similar specimens in my European series of 

 the species.

Of the typical form I have received four male speci- 

 mens and one female from Ta-chien-lu, two females from 

 Moupin and one female from Pu-tsu-fong. Of var. lugubris, 

 which has the secondaries entirely black, I have two 

 male examples from Ta-chien-lu. Two other male speci- 

 mens from the last-named locality, and one from Moupin 

 have the ground colour of secondaries crimson instead of 

 golden-yellow as in the type. I propose the name rubida 

 for this form. Alpheraky records a female example from 

 Ta-Tsien-loi\, which seems to be referable to var. rubida ; 

 he also notes a male, with orange-yellow secondaries, from 

 Va-ssou-K6ou. 



Habitat. Western China.
