Family Nymphalidee 

 Subfamily Satyrinae. 



1. Lethe sp. (?). 



Collection Number 127. Four male specimens ; Kanshirei, April 

 11, 28, 1908; Arisan 7300 feet, April, 1908; Juippun, Horisha, June 

 11, 1908. 



This species seems to come very near L. verino, Kollar, according 

 to the description quoted by Leech, (Leech, Butt. China, Japan, 

 Corea, p. 23, 1892-93) and agrees as regards upper side with the 

 figure of verma given by Seitz, (Macro-Lepidoptera of the World, 

 Part I. pl. XXX, fig. e.), with the exception that the broad white 

 transverse fascia of the forewing is narrower. Leech however remarks 

 that " the width of the white fascia of primaries varies considerably ". 

 Seitz unfortunately does not give a figure of the underside and Leech 

 also gives no figure. This species occurs at an altitude of from 2000 

 to 7000 feet. 



Expanse. 64 millimetres. 



2. Lethe sp. (?). 



Collection Number 125. Three male and one female specimens ; 

 Karapin (Arisan district) ; August 2, 1908 ; Jujimichi (Arisan district! 

 September 7, 1908; Kagi, August 21, 1906. This species somewhat 

 resembles the preceding one having a white fascia on the forewing but 

 is different on the underside and also has a large sexual patch in 

 the second median interspace of hindwing. 



Both this species and the foregoing one are unlike any of the 

 Genus Lethe hitherto recorded from Formosa by Professors Matsumura 

 and Miyake and are new to the fauna. It occurs in the Arisan 

 district from 3000 to 7000 feet.
