Var. separata. 



<y. This form differs from the type on primaries in having a band 

 connecting the yellowish white fascia with the apex, also a white spot near 

 the base of the costa ; on the secondaries the typical white central patch is 

 absent. 



The female differs in the wide basal band of primaries, and in having 

 two black spots instead of a streak on secondaries. 



Both sexes exceed typical measurements, the difference being $ 58 mm., 

 $ 82 mm., as against $ 50 mm., J 58 mm. 



Two males and a female taken at Chang Yang in July. 



Jan a mandaeina, sp. n. 



Primaries : inner two-thirds chocolate-brown, very woolly about the 

 base ; central line straight, dark chocolate ; outer line dark chocolate, 

 straight, bordered internally with whitish brown ; submarginal line blackish 

 brown, wavy, dividing the outer third of wing into two nearly equal parts, the 

 outer of which is light brown, the inner suffused with darker. Secondaries 

 pale brown, suffused with blackish scales about the disc ; two straight central 

 lines and a wavy submarginal line dark brown. Thorax chocolate-brown ; 

 abdomen ferruginous ; antennse black. Under surface ferruginous-brown,

One female taken at Chang Yang in July. 



Anteerea thespis, sp. n. 

 Ground colour pale olive-brown ; primaries sprinkled about the discal 

 area with brownish orange scales ; a large pale green subhyaline spot nearly 

 circular, margined with black, and intersected by a white line, is situated about 

 the centre of the wing towards costa ; beyond this spot the wing is traversed 

 by a row of subhyaline spots partially obscured by scales, and connected by 

 a dark wavy line, externally bordered with orange ; beyond this is a broad 

 wavy band of chocolate-brown ; there is also a wavy, indistinct, chocolate 

 submarginal line, and the apical patch is ashy grey. Secondaries with a 

 distinct ocellus ; the centre is a large pale green subhyaline pear-shaped spot, 

 bordered with black, the edge of this last is intersected by a white hne, and 

 the whole is surrounded by bright yellow which merges into the ground 

 colour, and is bordered by black on its upper and outer portions ; bands as 

 on primaries, but the subhyaline spots more open ; thorax and base of all 

 the wings thickly clothed with woolly scales. Abdomen russet-brown. Under 

 side much as above, but suffused with violet-grey. Expanse, 162 mm. 



One female taken at Ship-y-Shan, near Ichang, in September. 



Deepana parvula, sp. n. 



Ground colour of primaries mouse-grey ; at the end of the cell are two 

 white dots, from the first of which a dark line curves to the inner margin; 

 two other dark lines start from the apex, one descending with a slight curve 

 to the outer angle, the other to the centre of inner margin ; at the apex is a
