Appears to be a very scarce species. I have one male specimen taken by 

 a native collector at Chang-yang at an elevation of 6000 feet, and a female 

 example from Kiukiang, where it was captured in May. There are specimens 

 in the National Collection taken by Maries, and Mr. W. B. Pryer records the 

 species from the Snowy Valley, Ningpo.

 " WisGs broad. 



"Fore winri : costa nearly straight, moderately artehed or strongly arched, often distinctly 

 waved towards the apex between the terminations of the nervules ; apex acute, the 

 acuteuess varying in intensity ; outer margin sometimes straight, sometimes regularly 

 convex, sometimes strongly convex, sometimes slightly concave below the apex, then 

 strongly convex ; inner margin slightly emarginate in the middle ; costal nervure short, 

 but varying slightly in length, never reaching to opposite the apex of the discoidal cell ; 

 first and second subcostal and upper discoidal nervules with their bases about equidistant; 

 third subcostal nervule rather short, arising nearer to the apex of the wing than to the 

 apex of the cell, varying in length ; middle discocellular nervule given off some little 

 distance beyond the origin of the upper discoidal, very short, straight, outwardly oblique 

 (in some species the middle discocellular appears almost to form the base of the lower 

 discoidal nervule, being nearly as tliick as that vein ; in other species the middle disco- 

 cellular is but little thicker than the lower, in otlicrs again both are equally thin) ; lower 

 discocellular nervule four times as long as the middle discocellular, straight, slightly 

 inwardly oblique ; second median nervule given off some little distance before the lower 

 end of the cell ; first median nervule curved, bowed downwards soon after its origin, the 

 median nervule angled upwards beyond the point where the first median nervule is given 

 off; submedian nervuro straight. 



"■ Uind winrj sometimes entire, sometimes waved, sometimes furnished with a short tail at the 

 termination of the first median nervule, Bometimos this tail considerably longer, sometimes 

 there is an additional very sliort tooth or tail at the termination of tlio second median 

 nervule, sometimes still a third tail, but very short, at the termination of the submedian 

 ncrvurc ; anal angle sometimes rounded, sometimes acute, sometimes distinctly lobcd ; 

 abdominal margin Homclimes straight, sometimes convex to the termination of the internal 

 ncrvurc, then slightly emarginate ; eostii sometim(;s regularly arched, sometimes boM'cd at 

 base, then quite straight, sometimes the outer margin is anteriorly produced at the apox, 

 thus causing the costa to be siiHiiite ; cestui nervure sometimes nearly straight, sometimes 

 conHidcnibly bowed, sometimes lying quite close to tlie margin, sometimes well removed 

 from it; first subcostal nervule arched, given olf some little distance before tiie apex of 

 tho cell ; upper discocellular nervule shorter than the lower, slightly concave, slightly
