of all the wiugs are clouded with bluish grey, and the dark transverse bands of the 

 secondaries are not bordered with paler. The fringes also are not chequered. 

 Expanse, c? 45, $ 48 millim. 



" TJn pen plus petit que son congenere bifasciatus, dont il diffure par ses ailes inferienres en 

 dessous saupoudrees le long du bord marginal d'atomes gris violatre, et par ailleurs dune 

 teinte brun uni, traverst'e par deux bandes maculaires sinueuses a peine perceptiblcs, allant 

 du bord costal an bord anal. On ne voit ces bandes, qui ne se distinguent presque pas de la 

 couleur du fond, que grace aux lignes fort pen accentuees elles-memes qui les limitent. De 

 plus la frange n'est pas entrecoiipcc comme chez bifasciatus." (ObertJiiir, I. c.) 



Occurs at Ta-chien-lu, Pu-tsu-foug, and Chow-pin-sa, taken in May and 

 June, and at Ni-tou and Wa-ssu-kow in July and August. M. Obertliiir

Genus SATARUPA. 



Satarupa, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lend. 1865, p. 780; Watson, Proc. Zool. Soc. Loud. 

 1893, p. 46. 



" Palpi stout, densely pilose, erect, projecting in front of the head ; third joint minute, conical. 

 Antennae moderate. Body very stout. Legs slender ; femora slightly pilose beneath ; hind 

 tibiae pilose at the side and beneath ; middle tibiaa with a pair, and hind tibiae witli two 

 pairs of apical spurs. Wings — ^^fore wing acute ; costa nearly straight, exterior margin 

 oblique ; hind wing rounded exteriorly in the male, angled at tho_ apex, and in tlie middle of 

 exterior margin of the female." {Moore, I. c.) 



" Antennae : club slender, bent into a hook, terminal portion long. Palpi porrect ; third joint 

 short, bluntly conical. Fore wing: outer margin strongly oblicpie, inner and outer margins 

 subequal ; cell less than two thirds the leiigth of costa ; discocellulars inwardly oblique ; 

 vein 12 reaching costa before the end of cell ; vein 3 shortly before end of cell, twice as far 

 from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 twice as far from end of coll as from base of wing. Hind wing 

 much elongated, outer margin sinuate ; vein 7 well before end of cell, twice as far from 8 as 

 from 0 ; vein 3 immediately before end of cell ; vein 2 twice as far from base of wing as 

 from end of cell. 



" In the typo species vein 5 of the liind wing is Avell dovoloiiod, but it is barely traceable in tlie 



other species of tlie genus. 

 " Hind tibiae wifh two pairs of spurs. In the male the hind (ibiic are fringed along tlicir ujipcr 



edge, and the inner sid(! of the til)ia) is clothed with long coarse recumbent hairs. 

 " (.'losely allied to Daimio, from w liicli it may bo separated by the sliupe of tlie wings, especially 



of the hind wing, l)y tlie much greater length and more decided hook in the terminal portion 



of the antenna] club, and by tin; scaling of the hind tibi;e of the male. 

 " Entirely confined to Asia." ( Widfon, I. c.)
