APPENDIX. 



Tjyfhima argus, Butler, is stated by Elwes and Edwards to be peculiar to 

 Northern Asia and Japan; and Staudinger, who refers to it as laldus, is of 

 opinion that Japanese examples can be separated from mainland specimens 

 by their lighter under surface. I only found this to be the case in the Island 

 of Yesso, and it is not constant even there. However, Y. argusm^y generally 

 be distinguished by its larger size and narrower wings. In two examples 

 there is only one ocellus on secondaries. 



Epinephele deiphobe, sp. nov. (Plate XLlll. fig. 10.) 



Male. Dark brown. Primaries have two large velvety black spots, centred with white and 

 surrounded with fulvous ; the space between these ocelli is suffused with fulvous ; male brand 

 ns in E. cheena, Moore. Secondaries have a small black spot ringed with fulvous in first 

 median interspace ; fringes greyish, marked with darker at the extremities of the nervules. 

 Under surface : primaries fulvous ; costa, apex, and outer marginal border greyish, the latter 

 limited inwardly by a blackish rather sinuous line ; br^yond the middle of the M'ing is a brown 

 transverse line, acutely angled in second median interspace ; the space between these two 

 lines is rather paler fulvous and encloses two black spots as above, but the subapical one 

 encloses two white dots: secondaries grey, mottled and streaked with darker; the central 

 area of the wing is traversed by a wavy line ; there are four black spots encircled with greyish 

 brown, two subapical and two subanal. 



Expanse 50 millim. 



Closely allied to E. cheena, Moore (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1S05, p. 501, 

 pi. XXX. tig. 6). 



One male specimen, taken by a native collector on the high plateau to 

 the north of Ta-chieu-lu.
