Oberthilria nigromacularia, sp. n. (PI. VI. fig. 6.) 



White ; the costa and outer margin of primaries are broadly 

 yellow, the former dotted with black, the latter traversed by 

 two series of black spots and bordered inwardly by a third 

 series ; there is an interrupted macular central band, and from 

 this to the inner margin there is a series of five black spots 

 bordering the yellow costal stripe : secondaries are black at 

 the extreme base of the wing, and have large black spots 

 placed as follows : two confluent about the centre of the 

 wing, a longitudinal series above them, and three contiguous 

 rows on the outer marginal area ; the ground between some 

 of these latter is tinged with yellowish. Fringes of primaries 

 black, marked with yellow towards inner angle; of second- 

 aries white. Under surface as above, but the rows of spots 

 on outer marginal area of secondaries are smaller and more 

 distinctly separated. Body yellow, marked with black. 



Expanse 50 millim. 



Two male specimens from Chang-yang, July. 



Hab. Central China. 



The black discal markings, absence of yellow border to 

 secondaries and of black on the neuration at once separate 

 this species from either A. Davidi or A. fiavomarginaria.
