secondaries. Under surface whity brown, with dark markings 

 of upperside faintly reproduced. 



Expanse 48 niillim. 



One example of each sex from Chang-yang, July. 



This species is very like the paler forms of C. arida^ which 

 also occurs in China, but the apex of primaries is acutely 

 produced, especially in the female, and the outer margin is 

 not scalloped between apex and the angular projection. The 

 transverse line, too, is oblique, not curved in the least, and 

 starts from a point on costa much nearer to the apex.

There were several specimens in Fryer's collection from 

 Yokohama and Oiwake. I have also received the species 

 from Kiushiu, taken by a native collector, and I met with it 

 at Oiwake and Nikko in September. 



]\Jy collectors in Western China obtained it at Moupin, 

 Pu-tsu-fong, and Chow-pin-sa in June, but only single 

 specimens in each locality. The Moupin example agrees in 

 colour with the Japanese specimens, but the others are much 

 darker.

 secondaries have an incomplete waved central blacki.sh band, 

 a faint discal spot, and a dusky cloud at anal angle. Under 

 surface light brown ; primaries marked as above, but the
