fore wing, rather more creniilate, weakly bent before R^, 

 slightly curved outward at abdominal margin ; subterminal 

 much as on fore wing, but bent in middle ; terminal line 

 and fringe as on fore wdng. 



Unclerside much suffused with bright yellow-ochre, leaving 

 a quadrate apical spot and the posterior region of fore wing, 

 most of the distal and abdominal margins of hind wing, and 

 a patch between the radials of hind wing at their base 

 whitish — sometimes other slighter, less defined, and more 

 variable whitish spots or patches indicated ; markings 

 rather heavy, the j)ostmedian and sometimes the median

16. Cleoy^a grisea vandervoordeni, subsp. n. 



$ . — Both wings less irrorated with black-grey, the light 

 violet-grey ground-colour and the brown shadings con- 

 sequently more manifest, the median shade brown rather 

 than black-grey, rather more distally placed (but often 

 obsolete, or nearly so, in both races). Fore wing with the 

 cell-dot weaker; postmedian less bent outward at the radials, 

 especially on the underside, where its course is comparatively 

 straight throughout, forming only a couple of very gentle 

 curves, the anterior one outward, the posterior inward. 



Central China: Yachiaolin, 30 miles E.S.E. of Ichang, 

 1922 (Van der Voorden), 2 (^ (^ , in coll. L. B. Prout, pre- 

 sented by C.Talbot Bowiiug,Esq. 



Although hitherto overlooked, this appears to be the 

 regular Chinese race of grisea, Butl. (Ann. & Mag. Nat. 

 Hist. (5) i. p. 396, Japan), as the British Museum has a (^ 

 from Ningpo, a ^ from Kiukiang, and a $ from Chungking. 

 It may even prove a separate species.
