The markings are subject to modification as regards deve- 

 lopment : sometimes the basal patch of primaries is only 

 indicated by a fuscous spot on costa, and the oblique trans- 

 verse band is entirely absent ; in these specimens, however, 

 the purple patch on inner margin remains. In other 

 examples the oblique band is well defined, but the marginal 

 patch is eliminated. 



Expanse ranges from 31-41 millim. 



Distribution. Japan ( Warren ) ; Central and Western 

 China.

 costal and outer marginal areas, with fuscous ; basal patch, 

 a band before the discal spot, and one beyond pinkish, the 

 latter attenuated towards costa, and followed by a pink- 

 tinged fuscous transverse cloud. Secondaries straw-colour, 

 paler towards costa and irrorated with fuscous ; beyond the 

 dusky discal spot there is a pinkish band, which does not 

 reach the costa ; a transverse pink-tinged fuscous band 

 before outer margin. Under surface : primaries yellowish, 

 irrorated with pinkish grey, whitish on inner marginal area. 

 Secondaries whitish, irrorated with pinkish grey, yellowish 

 on costal area ; the transverse markings of upperside are 

 reproduced but are not distinct. 



Female. Kather paler in colour.

A number of male specimens from Chang-yang and Ichang, 

 chiefly from the first-named locality, whence four females

 in others they are, to a greater or lesser extent, obsolescent.
