brauclies, but the other veins of this wing are narrow in comparison ; outer 

 fourth of primaries black, enclosing a double row of spots of the ground 

 colour ; there is also an ill-defined blackish central transverse bar ; on the 

 secondaries there is a series of distinct black marginal spots and indications 

 of a submarginal series ; these last are placed in a very faint pinkish streak. 

 Under surface, colour as above, but the venation is less broad, and the only 

 distinct black spots are some small linear ones on the outer margins of all the 

 wings ; on the secondaries is a faint pinkish streak parallel with outer margin, 

 most clearly defined at anal angle. Expanse, 78 — 90 mm. 



Four specimens (three males, one female), taken in May and 

 June at Chang Yang. 



Closely allied to H. mena, Moore, from N. India, but may be 

 at once distinguished from that species by the pinkish streak on 

 both surfaces of secondaries, a character which brings it very 

 near to H. assimilis. 



Hestina viridis, sp. n. 



$ ._ Pale greenish, neuration broadly black ; outer third of primaries 

 black, its limit not well defined internally, enclosing a transverse series of 

 large spots followed by smaller ones ; these are of the ground colour, and the 

 two last of each series are linear. Secondaries have a marginal and sub- 

 marginal series of ill-defined black spots ; outer margin and fringes black, 

 abdominal fold tinged with yellowish. Under surface whitish green ; neura- 

 tion and some dashes between the nervules black ; outer margin and fringes 

 black : _ secondaries have the costa beyond the subcostal nervure and 

 abdominal fold yellow. 



? . Similar to the male, but the bar closing the discoidal cell of 

 primaries is almost obliterated, the black of outer third is broken up into 

 a double series of spots below apex, and the venation is less broad. Ex- 

 panse, 3- 96 mm., $ 110 mm. 



Two specimens from Chang Yang (male June, female July). 

 Allied to H. assimilis, but at once distinguished by the total 

 absence of red markings. 



Hestina oberthuri, sp. n. 



_ Greyish white, venation broadly fuliginous ; outer margins with broad 

 fuliginous borders, that of primaries intersected by one and of secondaries by 

 two transverse rows of small spots of ground colour. Under surface similar 

 to above, but there is a bluish black line on all the wings parallel with outer 

 margin. Fringes white, chequered with black. Expanse, 76 mm. 



Several examples taken in June at Chang Yang, and Septem- 

 ber at Ichang. 



In some specimens the pale ground colour is much suffused 

 with fuliginous. 



Unlike any species of Hestina with which I am acquainted.

Var. chinensis. 



One male specimen captured in August, at a place three days' 

 journey N. of Ichang. 



As this example differs from the Japanese form of the species 

 in the much smaller size of the white spots and streaks on both
