Japanese Eliopalocera. 157 



side, divided by the nervvires, bent inwards })osteriorly, and 

 ending at the abdominal margin, anal region of secondaries pale 

 orange, with a large black spot between the tails, and a row of 

 four smaller ones just above it, anal angle black, speckled with 

 pale blue, a fine white marginal line, and a row of obscure 

 dusky brown sub-marginal spots near the apex. Expanse of 

 wings \^ inch. 



Several specimens of this species were taken by Mr. Jonas at 

 Matzabaro, aljout 200 miles N.W. of Yedo ; it is allied to T. 

 iiucans, Brem., and T. ran-idescens, Motsch. 



In referring to Bremer's descriptions of iiiicans and ccvrulca 

 in his Beitr. zur Schmetterlings-Fauna d. Noerd-China's, and 

 the figures of those species given by Menetries in the Cat. Lep. 

 de I'Acad. Imp., I find the latter author has transposed the 

 names, tab. iv, fig. 4 is Bremer's micans, and fig. 3 ccernlea.

n. sp. 



Above dark brown, disc of primaries lighter ; secondaries 

 with one long tail, white at its apex; beneath white, primaries 

 with seventeen conspicuous black spots, ai'ranged thus, two near 

 the base, the upper one large, one at the end of the cell, three in 

 an oblique row on the costal margin beyond the middle, and an 

 irregular transverse row of five, followed by a submarginal roAV 

 of six, ai^ical margin rather broadly brown ; secondaries with 

 three spots in a row at the base, a small one in the ceU, an 

 elongate one at its end, a similar shaped one between it and the 

 anal angle, three along the abdominal margin, a curved trans- 

 verse row of six beyond the middle, and a submarginal row of 

 five, those at the base and near the costal mai-gin Ijlack, but 

 towards the apex the wings become dusky and the spots pale 

 brown, margined with white, anal region pale orange, with two 

 small black spots at the base of the tail, and one at the anal 

 angle. Expanse of wings 1 \ inch. 



Two specimens taken by Mr. Jonas, near the River Yokawa, 

 about ] 40 miles N.W. of Yedo, are all I have seen of this 

 distinct species.
