28G MR. H. J. ELWES ON BUTTERFLIES FROM [Apr. 21, 



It may be described as follows : — Above most like the European 

 {orm porima, Ochs., but has the broad band on the fore wing above 

 in a straight line with that on the hind wing, and the outer bands 

 paler and straighter than in European or Japanese specimens. 

 Beneath, the general coloration and markings resemble hurejana 

 more ih&n porima, but this species is paler than either, and has a lilac 

 patch round the white marginal spots on both wings as in burejana. 



In size it is constantly much larger than European and rather 

 larger than Japanese specimens ; the margin of the hind wing is also 

 much more scalloped out between the veins. 



It is perfectly distinct from A. hurejana, of which I have a large 

 peculiar race, or new species, from Central China.

A local race of Z.fiegyas, which at Perak seems fairly constant. 

 In the Karen Hills a pale yellowish race of Z.fiegyas is found.

Of this very variable insect, which should probably bear the name 

 of A. echerius, Stoll., widely differing specimens were taken at Perak 

 and in East Pegu ; but I quite agree with de Niceville that it is not
