is continued to the hind margin where it is highly angulated 

 inwards at third median nervule ; submarginal series of dark- 

 spots of forewing scarcely perceptible beyond second median nervule ; 

 discal white line of hindwing slightly curved outwards, not straight 

 as in scintillans. W towards anal angle incomplete at third 

 median nervule, thinner than in scintilla/is and the submarmnal 

 band more diffuse ; the black pupilled orange spot in second median 

 interspace does not extend to third median interspace which is 

 filled in with silvery bluish grey scales near hind margin ; anal 

 black spot larger and the two anal orange spots smaller than 

 in scintillans; these two spots and the fulvous abdominal streak are 

 bordered above by a streak of silvery bluish grey scales (white in 

 scintillans) which is interrupted at third median nervule and docs not 

 extend as far as the large black pupilled fulvous spot in second 

 median interspace. 



Female taiwanüs. Taiwanus was described from female specimens, 

 one with a blue patch and the other with a blue patch and two 

 fulvous spots on the forewings, (No. 83). I then remarked that " it is 

 not improbable that scintillans may have a dimorphic from of the 

 typical female, which is figured by Leech with three fulvous spots 

 on the forewings (fig. 10), this dimorphic form being taiwanus. Since 

 then, however, two specimens of a Zephyr us have been captured 

 in the Arisan district which are, in my opinion, referable to female 

 scintillans, Leech. One specimen (No. 159Ì agrees with Leech's figure 

 (fig. IÓ) in having three fulvous patches, one at apex of cell and two 

 in first and second median interspaces, also a fulvous patch above 

 tail rather fainter than in the figure. The fulvous patches on forewing 

 are rather more elongate and not so close together as in the figure. 

 They are also almost of exactly the same size and are in the same- 

 position as the spots on the forewing of female Z. brillantina, Staudinger 

 (Mem. sur Lép. III, pl. VI, fig. 3, b, those of brillantina being 

 somewhat closer together. The expanse of wings is the same as in
