species, a complete series of three red submarginal lunules. In the 

 specimen from Suisha, (March 25, 1908), which only expands 100 

 millimetres, an ocellus in the first median interspace takes the place 

 of a lunule, a red lunule on the outer margin at excavation of wing 

 being placed above it. This specimen, which was presented to me 

 by Dr. Moltrecht, shows a broader red streak at base of discoidal cell 

 of forewing, underside, as mentioned by Leech in Chinese specimens 

 and it also has three red spots on outer margin of hindwing, underside. 



I have a female specimen taken at Tabani, March 11, 1908, which 

 is evidently the female of the foregoing males whichs have referred to 

 rhetenor. It agrees with Seitz's figure of female rhctcnor (fig. c ) as 

 regards forewing, upperside, but is not tailed. As regards the hind- 

 wing upperside, it differs as follows : — 



White central patch not so large or compact, being divided into 

 two distinct spots by the second subcostal nervule and does not ex- 

 tend into the discoidal cell and first and second median interspaces ; 

 ocelli more complete than in figure (fig. c Seitz does not give the 

 underside of female rhetenor but thus specimen resembles his figure 

 of the male in the shape of the hindwing and in being tailless, also 

 in the colour of forewing. The markings of the third median and 

 submedian interspaces of Setz's figure (fig. b £) are repeated in all the 

 median and submedian interspaces of this specimen and it has also 

 a conspicuous reddish white lunule at the outer angle of hindwing, 

 underside. 



In the second female specimen, April, 1908, Arisan, the white 

 central patch (divided by the veins) expands into a central discal 

 band of a reddish white tinge from the second subcostal nervule to 

 the submedian nervure where it meets the anal ocellus patch of the 

 same colour ; from the second subcostal to submedian there are three 

 wedge shaped black patches, forming, with the black spot of the 

 anal ocellus, a band of black spots enclosed between the central band 

 and the almost complete submarginal ocelli, thus making a black
