 is identical with Westwood's species. 



As regards the white and yellow butterflies I will say 

 nothing, or I might overstep the bounds of courtesy, which 

 (especially to a friend) I would rather avoid. 



The following butterflies from Shanghai have been liberally 

 presented to the collection by Mr. W. B. Pryer. 



Neoj>e segonaXj Hewitson. 



This appears to differ sufiiciently from N. Muirheadii to be 

 kept separate. 



Lethe syrcis ^ , Hewitson. 

 We previously only possessed the female of this species. 



Lethe lanaris^ n. sp. 



6 . Wings smoky brown, the disk of primaries rather paler ; 

 the basal area of all the wings densely clothed with woolly 

 hair : primaries with a dusky submarginal line : secondaries 

 with five indistinct ocelli, the first four dusky, with scarcely 

 traceable irides, the fifth larger, dull black, with white pupil 

 and diffused sordid testaceous iris ; a whitish submarginal 

 stripe, intersected by a blackish line. Primaries below with 

 the basal two thirds uniformly smoky brown, apical third 

 and internal area greyish ; five discal ocelli in an almost 

 straight line (the first and last slightly smaller), black, with 

 white puj)ils, yellow irides, and dusky zones surrounded with 

 lilacine; a whitish submarginal stripe intersected by a blackish 

 line : secondaries smoky brown, crossed by two dusky central 

 lines, the outer one concave to third median branch, and then 

 angulated to back of apical ocellus ; six discal ocelli, the first 

 and fifth four times as large as the others (which are of the 

 size of those in the primaries), similar in character to those of 

 primaries ; outer border whitish, with a submarginal black 

 line ; margin black. Expanse of wings 2 inches 10 lines. 



Near to Lastommata Maaki of Bremer and Pronophila 

 Schrenhi of M^n^tri^s. 



Pararge deidamia^ Eversmann. 

 This is the male of P. Menetriesii. 



Mycalesis sangaica^ n. sp. 



Allied to M. janardana. Wings above smoky brown ; 

 outer border narrowly whity brown, with marginal and sub-
