the outer margin from the middle of the costa, gradually narrowing and becoming obsolete 

 towards the lowest median nervule ; au oval dark ring crossing the cell and an indistinct 

 submarginal row of dark green hastate spots. 



" Underside olivaceous yellow. On the anterior wings the yellowish-green band is more clearly 

 defined and edged on each side with black, narrowly towards the costa, gradually and 

 irregularly becoming broader towards the snbmedian nervure, where it ceases. Posterior 

 wings with the pale greenish-yellow curved band as above, bordered on each side witli 

 olivaceous green, the space round the spots in the cell and on the outer margin being the 

 same colour as the central band. 



" Expanse of wings 2| inches. 



"Nearest to E. omeia, Leech, which it resembles in colour, but the posterior 

 Avings are very different. 



" Five specimens Avere sent, apparently all males. Omei-shan, Western 

 China." {Grose Sniifh, I. c.) 



This species will be figured in a future part of ' Exotic Butterflies ' by 

 Grose Smith and Kirby. 



Euthalia irrubescens. 



Euthalla irrubescens, Grose Smith, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (G) xi. p. 216 (1893). 

 ^[iilc. Upperside : anterior wings with the basal half dark green, almost black, the outer half 

 j)aler and slightly metallic, the veins, with streaks between them on the paler portion of the 

 ■wings, being the same colour as the basal half ; the cell is crossed in the middle by an 

 irregular crimson bar, and there is another crimson bar, narrower and somewhat indistinct, 

 at the end of the coll. Posterior wings the same colour as the basal half of the anterior 

 wings, being paler across the disk and traversed by the dark veins with streaks between, as 

 on the outer half of the anterior wings ; two dark bars across the cell, and there is a crimson 

 elongate spot parallel with the outer margin between the submedian nervure and the lowest 

 median nervule; the costal margin is pale and tinged with a bluish shade. 



'• Underside similar to the upperside, but jialer. Anterior wings with the crimson bars across and 

 at the end of the cell wider and more distinct, and a small black spot below the median 

 nervure at its junction with the lowest median nervule. Posterior wings with two crimson 

 bare crossing the cell, two crimson 8j)ots below the costal nervure and ui)per median nervule 

 respectively, another crimson sjiot on the costal margin near the precostal nervuie, and 

 another at the l)ase ; on the outer margin at the ends of the dark streaks between the veins is 

 a row of crimson s])otK, those; nearest the ana! angle tlie most distinct , and tiiose in the niieldic 

 nearly obsolete; tlir inner margin iiom tlic base to the anal angle is In-oadly edged with 

 crimson. Antenna; l)lacii, tlic collar and paljii crimson. 



"Expanse of wings 2\ inches.
