The insect here dealt with is the same as that figured by Alpheraky as cited above, 

 but we have no means of deciding if it is really the true sinica of Felder. 



The sinica, Feld., of the British Museum collection, from North China, is a species 

 with the clothing of the second joint of the palpi below yellow, the white band on 

 the hind wing below reaching from the costa to the dorsum, and bearing a subquadrate 

 brown spot near the apical third of cell 7 ; the fore wing above has a white band from 

 the middle of the dorsum to the hyaline spot in cell 2 three-fourths as wide as that 

 spot ; and the abdomen above is white with the apical fourth brown.
