Up to the present time there are, as previously stated, two hundred and 
seventy-one sj^ecies of Rhopalocera that have not been met with outside the 
limits of China dealt with in the present work : of these, one hundred and 
fifty-nine are so far peculiar to Western China, only forty-seven of which 
(mostly occurring at extreme elevations) exhibit Palsearctic affinities ; the 
remaining one hundred and twelve are of an Oriental character, and doubtless 
Avhen the province of Yunnan, Upper Burmah, and Assam have been more 
fully explored the range of the majority of these species will be found to be 
more extensive. 
Fifty-one species are only known from Central and West China, and of 
these six alone exhibit Pala?arctic affinities. 
Twenty-six species are so far peculiar to Central China, and of this number 
a third exhibit Palsearctic affinities. 
In Eastern China we have only one species, Anthocharis lamlnisarum, 
Avhich so far does not appear to have been found elsewhere. It must be 
remembered, however, that but little entomological work has been done in 
this portion of the country, and that at only moderate elevations, which 
accounts for our limited knowledge of the fauna of the district. 
Sev en species found in North China are, according to our present know- 
ledge, peculiar to that district. These are all of a Palajarctic character. 
The following species appear to be confined to Corea : — (Eneis walkyria, 
Yjilhima ohscura, and Lycmna divina.
