DAIMIO— COLADENIA.

wliite spots. Under surface as above, but tlic white spot in submedian interspace is rather 

 lar<jcr, and is followed by a whitish shade : tlic central band of secondaries is also wider, and 

 encloses two black spots, there is a faint indication of a pale submarginal line ; there are 

 some bluish-grey hairs at the base. Head and thorax tinged with yellow. Palpi yellowish, 

 and the pectus tinged with same colour. 



In Mollcr's collection, which I have recently acquired, there is a series of 

 18 Sikkim examples oi D. narada, Moore, a species I was not previously 

 acquainted with. I now find that the insect 1 described as " Ptenjgospidea " 

 diversa is not really specifically distinct from D. narada and can only rank as 

 a local form of that species. 



I have specimens of var. diversa from Chang-yang, Central China ; Wa-shan, 

 Western China ; and I also met with it at Foochau in April. All these differ 

 from Sikkim specimens in having narrower white bands on secondaries, and 

 the spots on primaries are smaller and less confluent. 



Distribution. Sikkim ; Western and Central China.

 as from base of wing. Hind wing : outer margin sinuate ; vein 7 very close to end of cell ; 

 discocellulars and vein 5 barely traceable ; vein 3 immediately before end of cell ; vein 2
