PL XIII. f. 1. 2. — Like iS. Telamon; but the primary wings have a large subtriangular black spot at the base, 

 which is divided into three spots by the nervures ; the anterior margin is slightly edged, and the exterior margin 

 partly bordered with a broad margin of black ; and the markings are generally more prominent, though in a few 

 specimens they vary slightly in size and number. The secondary wings have a broad band obliquely across the 

 costal area, and the crimson band at the anal angle is broader and sometimes very pale in colour. 



In Collection (Brit. Mus.) from Northern China. This species was brought by Mr. Fortune, who says 

 that they are found in the valleys among the hills. 



362. Sericinus Telmona. 



Sericinus Telmona, G. R. Gr. Proc. Zool. Soc. 



PI. XIII. f. 3. — The primary wings ochraceous, with the base black, and the other black markings are similar 

 to those on S. Telamon, though not qiiite so prominent, but the short band which crosses the wing just beyond 

 the costal area and the spot on the posterior margin are both ornamented with a small crimson spot. The 

 secondary vrings have the inner margin, and the base, black ; the crimson band at the anal angle extends to the 

 second subcostal nervule, and the spot on the anterior margin is ornamented by a crimson mark ; the black space 

 at the anal angle is less in size, and is furnished with blue lunules. The caudal appendages are much shorter 

 than in the other species, being only about half an inch in length. 



The under surface of the primary wings is marked like the upper side. That of the secondary wings is also 

 similarly marked to the upper side, but the two black spots on the anterior margin are both ornamented with
