b" . Ti'itb marginal bands present. White hiud wings. 



Ifj. BizoNE ARIADNE, Leecli, MS. 



This is a good species, distinguished from signa by marginal band 

 and shape of the second and third bands ; in the male there is a 

 pink spot on the costa above the black spot, which is separated by 

 the fold from the pink band. 



It has been found in Central China, at Changyang, by Mr. Eratt. 



V". Red hind wings.

This was sent to me by Mr. Leech under the name of B. san- 

 guinea, Brem., but it is quite distinct from what I take to be that 

 species, which is described further on. 



It is like B. ariadne, but differs in having the hind wings and 

 abdomen bright pink as in B. bianco. There are three black spots iu 

 both sexes, but in the male the outer one is placed on the third bar 

 instead of within it. As this species will doubtless be figured by 

 Mr. Leech, I will not describe it more particularly. It was taken 

 by Mr. and Mrs. Pratt at Changyang and Ichang in June ] 888. 



Next we have a group of five species with four fawn-coloured 

 bands (except in B. siAkhnensis, which has only three), all, so far 

 as I know, confined to the Himalayan region. Tliey are all nearly 

 allied but, as I believe, quite distinct. 



I have been obliged to name no less than three of them, which I 

 should not have ventured to do if I had not examples of both sexes 

 in good condition of every species. 



c. 4 yellow bands. 

 c\ Pink body and pale pink hind wings.

 fig. 10, $. 



A distinct species, which seems rare wherever found. The male, 

 which is undescribed, I have only seen in Dr. Staudinger's collection. 



The middle spot in the male takes the form of a short bar, as 

 though two spots were united. The outer spot is placed, as iu 

 B. pratti, rather outside the third band, which is broken by the 

 fold, and appears as a spot on the costa. I have females from Kulu 

 and Sikkim in my collection, and there are others from Khasia in 

 the British Museum. 



<?. "White body and hind wings ; hind wings with a dark lunule. 



18. BizoNE DOHERTYi, H. sp. (Plate XXXII. fig. 4, 2 .) 



cJ $ . White, with pale yellow bands on the thorax and tegulse. 

 Four pale yellow bands across the wings, of which the first does not 

 extend to the hind margin, the second and third irregular. In
