The material for this paper 

 consists of a collection of Formosan Rhopalocera which has been 

 made by my collectors and myself during the years 1904 to 1908 in 

 various parts of Formosa, chiefly at Kanshirei (Chinese Name, Koannania), 

 in Ensuikö Chö ; at Takow and Tainan ; in the neighbourhood of the 

 mountainous district of Arizan, and at Garambi and Koshun in the ex- 

 treme south of Formosa. During this period one hundred and fifty-six 

 species were captured of which forty still remain unidentified so that it is 

 not improbable that some new or unrecorded species remain to be 

 chronicled amongst them. In this collection there seem to be, as far as 

 can be at present ascertained, seven species new to science of which 

 detailed descriptions have been given and also twenty species hitherto 

 unrecorded by Professors Matsumura and Miyake but which have already 

 been named by various authors, thus adding twenty-seven species to the 

 Formosan fauna. Five species, although already recorded, have been 

 included in this paper for the purpose of making special observations. 

 The following is a list of the new and unrecorded species :
