APPENDIX. 



one in which the spot is absent. If, however, others should be found in 

 China showing that this is a normal specimen, we should be unable to treat 

 it as a variety of any known species. On the upperside it differs from any 

 specimen of argus that we have yet seen in that, being a male, it has on all 

 the wings a dark marginal band of which the inner edge is sharply defined 

 and the ocellar space sharply defined on both wings." 



I now find that I have another example from Ichang, which must be the 

 female of this species. In agrees perfectly in the colour of upper surface, 

 but, in addition to the ocelli on upper surface of secondaries shown in figure 

 of the type, this specimen has two others, one in second median interspace 

 and one near costa. On the under surface the colour and striation agree 

 exactly, the ocelli are the same in number and similarly placed, but are slightly 

 larger, and the subanal pair are in contact.

" Somewhat larger thaa newara, M., from which it mny be distinguished on the upperside by the 

 paler colour of the outer area of both wings in the male. The underside is whitish grey, 

 without any mai'kings beyond the ordinary striolation, which exhibits a tendency to coalesce 

 and form a brown cloud about the inner margin of the fore wing. The constancy of the form 

 of the clasps has been tested in four cases.

I was disposed to consider chinensis a form of Y. neimra, Moore, but 

 Elwes and Edwards have ascertained that tlie form of the clasp in chinensis 

 is different to that of newara and have consequently elevated the former 

 into a species,
