EVEKES. — JAMIDES. 



subcostal, a smaller cellular, and a minute abdominal spot all near the base, a streak across 

 the end of the cell, and a broad discal transverse band broken into four quadrate masses, 

 of which only the upper two touch each other, the first covering two spaces, the second 

 (strongly dislocated outwardly) three, and the third (nearer the base, oblique) two ; the 

 fourth being a small lunule between the submedian and the internal veins. Outer margin 

 broadly dark, containing a row of whitish lunulos (the subanal one orange) surrounding 

 black spots, of which the two subanal ones are touched with metallic green. A whitish 

 submarginal and a black marginal line, both very slender, the cilia and the tip of the tail 

 white." {Doherty, I c.) 



Mr. Doherty adds : — " I took two males of innhriel in the Tenasserim Vallej% and observed one or 

 two others." ISIr. Elwes has specimens in his collection, taken by Doherty in East Pegu at 

 an elevation of 4500 feet in March and April. These examples agree exactly with Chinese 

 specimens of E. potanini. 



This species appears to be not uncommon at Moupin and Chow-pin-sa, 

 Western China. It occurs in June at an elevation of about 5000 feet. The 

 type is from the Province of Kan-sou. 



As •will be seen on referring to the figure, potanini is very different 

 on the under surface to any other described species of Everes.

" FoEE WING elongate, triangular ; costa slightly arched at base, apex very acute, exterior 

 margin slightly oblique and convex, posterior margin long ; costal vein bent upward near 

 its end to the costa, extending to half length of the margin : first subcostal branch short, 

 emitted at nearly one half before end of the cell, and slightly touching the costal at its 

 angle, second branch at one third before end of the cell, third close to the end ; fourth at 

 nearly one half from third, and terminating at the apex, fifth from end of the cell ; disco •• 

 cellulars slightly waved, radial from their middle ; cell broad, long, extending to more than 

 half the wing ; middle median branch emitted at one sixth before end of the cell, lower at 

 nearly one half before the end ; submedian straight. 



" Hind wing short, triangular, with a slender tail from end of lower median vein ; costal vein 

 arched and extending to apex ; discocellulars slightly oblique, radial from their middle ; eel 

 short, broad ; middle median branch emitted before end of the cell, lower at nearly one half 

 before the end ; submedian straight, internal recurved. 



"Body slender, short. Paljn porrect, second joint projecting half length beyond the head, clothed 

 with adpressed scales, third joint naked, slender, about half length of second. Antennce with
