XIV. Descriptions of five new species, and a new genus, 
of Diurnal Lepidoptera, from Shanghai. By A. 
G. Burizr, F.L.S., &c. 
{Read 5th June, 1871.] 
THE species here described were recently sent home by 
Mr. W.B.Pryer. They are very interesting; one of them 
being a representative of an exclusively New World group 
of butterflies, and another very similar to a common British 
Argynnis ; m the same Collection is a curious little Terias, 
which I believe to be the 7’. mandarinus of De L’Orza; 
it may, however be new, since I have not recently had 
an opportunity of consulting his description. 
Fam. NYMPHALIDA, 
Sub.-fam. SATY RIN A, Bates. 
PALEHONYMPHA, gen. n. 
Affinissimum Huptychie (Sect. Neonympha) differt alis 
dense pilosis; anticis striga lata, opaca, masculina, obli- 
qua; angulo antico cellule discoidalis haud porrecto; 
palpis articulo ultimo longiore. 
Nearly allied to Huptychia, which it much resembles 
in markings, but with the oblique male streak (not pre- 
sent in any known Huptychia, but represented in L. vesta 
by a scalloped embossed line) ; the anterior angle of the 
discoidal cell obliquely cut off, and therefore not project- 
ing as in Huptychia ; the palpi with the last joint longer, 
the wings clothed above with long hairs; it differs from 
Paramecera (Mexico), with which it agrees in the last- 
mentioned character, and in the oblique male streak, in 
the different form of the front-wing cell, the shape and 
marking of the wings, and the length of the palpi. 
Typical species PALZONYMPHA OPALINA. 
Paleonympha opalina, sp. n. 
Ale supra fusce, anticee ocello uno apicali albo-pupil- 
lato lineisque duabus marginalibus, nigris; postica 
ocellis quatuor nigris ; primo apicali indistincto, secundo 
parvo inconspicuo, tertio magno, distincto, bipupillato,
