" Revocat P. suhhyalinam Brem. Amurensem." (MablUe, I. c.) 



This species is closely allied to A. suhliyuUna, var. fhi6ef ana, hnt is readily 

 separated therefrom by the discal spots on secondaries. The male type here 

 figured [Plate XLI. fig. 14), kindly lent to me by M. Mabille, was taken by 

 I'Abbe David in Moupiu. My collectors failed to meet with this sex, but I 

 received a female example from Omei-shan (Plate XLI. fig. 7), which seems 

 to agree very well with the description of that sex, and another female from 

 Moupin (Plate XLI. fig. 10) which agrees better with the male in the 

 colour of the spots on secondaries, as these are white instead of yellow, 

 I propose that this form be known as var. consors. 



Augiades sylvanoides, sp. nov. (Plate XLI. fig. 4, c?.) 



In gcneial cliaraclcrs this species resembles ^. sM6/rv«/tnf<, but it is smaller and has no serai- 

 traiisparenl spots, in which respect it agrees with A. sylvaaus. 



Alale. Fuliginous brown. Primaries are oriiiimented with fulvous as follows : — a streak along the 

 costa extending from base of the wing to the first of three subapical elongate spots ; a streak 

 in discoidal cell along median nervure surmounted by a linear spot at end of cell ; below the 

 subapical spots are two round ones, and placed obliquely under these are three other spots, 

 the first triangular, the second quadrate, the third oblong and only separated from a basal 

 cuneiform dash by the lower portion of the black sexual brand, which is similar in shape to 

 tliat of male A. sahlu,aliiui. Secondaries fiiliginous, slightly suffused with fulvous on the 

 basal area ; five fulvous spots, arranged as in A. sulthi/aliiM, but more clearly defined ; central 

 spot fulvous, not always distinct. Fringes fulvous grey, those of primaries tinged witli dusky. 

 Under surface similar to that of A. suhhydlind, but the secondaries have a sliglit greonisli 

 tinge, and, as on upper surface, there are no scinit ransparent spots on i)riniaries. 



Female. Almost black ; bases ol all the wings, especially of the secondaries, (lusle<i willi fulvous ; 

 priiiiaiies have a double fulvous spot at end of discoidal ceil a7id a i)unctifoiin spol^ in the first 

 median fork ; beyond there is a, scries of fulvous Hpot.s as in tlu^ male ; the markings on 

 secondaries are similar to those of A. sub/ii/iiliixi, var. thihitinKi, on the uj)per surface, but 

 arc identical with the male on under surface.
