larged above and below and pale red, the spot situated beyond the 

 apex of the abdominal fold also being marked above, though here 

 narrow. In the ? the posterior spots touch each other. On the 

 underside my only specimen of this sex bears a reddish grey, submar- 

 ginal double patch on the forewing, as sometimes happens also in

Collection Numbers 187, 188. Three male specimens ; Suisha 

 Lake (Candidius), March 25, 1908, July 23, 1908 ; Gya-kan-ron, 

 (Suisha district), June 15, 1908. Two female specimens; Arisan, 7300 

 feet, April, 1908; Tabani, March 11, 1908. 



These male specimens agree well with the figure given by Seitz 

 of male (fig. b) in so far as markings of the underside at base of 

 forewings and hindwings and in third median and submedian inter-

 specimens the markings of the third median interspace of hindwings, 

 underside, (fig. b), are repeated in the second median interspace ex-

 and there is, as observed by Leech in Chinese examples of this
