of underside, with the exception of anal yellow spots, are only faintly 

 perceptible on the white ground. Tails as in 2 Z. taiwanus, Wilemah. 

 Angulation of W about the same as in taiwanus but the discal line 

 is rather more oblique in relation to costa. One of the female speci- 

 mens of scintilla ns (No. 159) taken at Arisan has two fulvous spots 

 of same colour, size and position as those in female, Z. àrîsanus, but 

 the underside is different.

Collection number 153. One female specimen; Heishanna, 

 (Arisan district), June, 1908 ; 6000 feet. 



This female specimen closely resembles the female of comes, 

 Leech, with a few minor differences which are not important enough to 

 warrant a varietal name. Comes, was described from a female the 

 male being so far unknown. These differences are as follows : — 



Black apical area of forewing, upperside, extends a little farther 

 on costal margin and outer margin, and on the underside of the same 

 wing the edge of the submarginal silver line is not so regular and 

 that line is not edged with black internally. There is also in the 

 Formosan specimen the commencement of a second silvery line 

 between the submarginal line and the outer margin which, howener, 

 only extends as far as the centre of the second median interspace. 

 On the underside the indentations of the discal waved silver line in 

 second and third median interspaces are rather deeper than in figure ; 

 also the submarginal curved and waved silver line is interrupted al- 

 together in the second median interspace in Leech's figure, but in the 

 Formosan specimen is only interrupted in the centre of the arch 

 which is occupied by a black spot, as in figure.
