﻿NEW SPECIES OF LEPIDOPTERA FROM CHINA. 49 



of Iehang in June and August ; and one male example, captured 

 in June at Chang Yang. 



The white spots forming the costal dash vary in number 

 from three to one ; in some specimens, where three are present, 

 they are very faint; and in others all the spots are entirely 

 absent from both surfaces. 



Allied to C. ornatus, Brem., but separable therefrom by the 

 absence of the silver streak on under surface of secondaries. 



Cyclopides nanus, sp. n. 



Fuliginous brown. Primaries have six small yellowish spots, one 

 discoidal, and a transverse series of five beyond, two of which occupy the 

 median interspace, and three near costa. Fringes of secondaries and towards 

 inner margin of primaries whitish, spotted with brownish. Under surface of 

 primaries as above, with the addition of a broad stripe of yellowish scales 

 along the costa, and some yellowish patches below apex : secondaries are 

 thickly sprinkled with yellowish, especially on the basal half, which is 

 divided into two parts by a dark transverse line just beyond a pale yellowish 

 discoidal spot, there are central and submarginal series of pale yellow 

 spots ; fringes as above. Expanse, 21 mm. 



Seven specimens, including two examples of the female, 

 taken at Iehang in June. One of the females has the number of 

 spots in the submarginal series on under side of primaries 

 increased to six, by the addition of one to the costal set. 



I also received specimens of this species from a native 

 collector at Ningpo, 1886. 



Distinguished from other species of the genus by its small 

 size. 



BlZONE CRUENTA, Sp. 11. 



$ . Primaries white, with crimson markings ; a short basal transverse 

 line, united by a streak along the costa with one traversing the wing from 

 costa to inner margin, from the upper outer edge of this last line is a longi- 

 tudinal wedge-shaped spot, followed by two black dots, placed obliquely, 

 not as in B. hamata one under the other ; beyond the middle is a second 

 transverse line, uniting at each extremity with a broad apical and outer- 

 marginal border. Secondaries pale crimson, shading to white at the base. 

 Fringes white. Under surface of primaries : central area fuscous, with two 

 ill-defined but contiguous black spots ; secondaries as above. Head and 

 thorax pure white, collar faintly flecked with crimson. 



$ . Similar to the male, but on the upper surface the markings are 

 paler, there is no longitudinal spot before discal dots, and the border of outer 

 margin is not united on the costa with the preceding transverse line ; the 

 lower discal spot is not always clearly defined. Expanse, $ 25 — 28 mm., 

 ? 24—29 mm. 



Several specimens from Chang Yang, taken in May, July, 

 and August ; one female example taken in July at Iehang. 



The male of this species is without costal fold or pencil of 

 hairs. 



Saturnia oberthuri, sp. n. 



3 • Ground colour of all the wings deep yellow ; the discal area of 

 primaries occupied by a large salmon-pink patch, its upper limit being the 

 third median nervule, and reaching the inner margin ; a black transverse
