RIIOPALOCERA FROM FORMOSA. 321 



on internal nervure ; abdominal fold greyish ; long, greyish green, 

 silky hairs on abdominal margin ; in the centre of wing a transverse 

 fulvous fascia commencing below costa ; the inner edge extends a little 

 beyond third median nervule where it tapers to a point and is brightly 

 fulvous, centre filled in with the olive brown ground colour, outer edge 

 extends a little beyond second median nervule and is more indistinct ; this 

 fascia encloses in the second median interspace a well defined ocellus with 

 fulvous iris ; a black band, broad towards costa and tapering to anal angle, 

 precedes a series of fulvous lunules ; followed by a black line ; a fulvous 

 submarginal line and a black marginal line ; fringes white between 

 nervules. 



Underside-Forewing. Pale olive green like pallets, Leech ; the mark- 

 ings are as on upper side but the fulvous gives place to white. 



Underside-Hindwing. Basal half olive green bounded externally by 

 a transverse, slightly oblique, silvery white band, broadest on costal 

 margin and tapering to submedian nervule, not quite reaching anal angle ; 

 outer half of wing rather darker in tint with four, faint, silvery spots on the 

 disc and bounded externally near outer margin by a curved series of silvery 

 lunules from outer to anal angle ; a well defined ocellus situated in the 

 second median interspace, black pupilled with a white centre and fulvous 

 iris, is situated in second median interspace near outer margin ; a dark 

 olive green, curved line precedes a lighter submarginal line ; marginal line 

 thinly black. 



Collection Number 32. One female specimen from Koshun, Sept- 

 ember. 



Expanse 70 millimetres. 



As Leech observes in the case of A. pallets, the markings of the under 

 side of hindwings bear a superficial resemblance to those of Argynnis 

 papilla.
