NEOEINA— PEOIS OPllILA. 
17 
us long as the femur, with two rows of small spines beneath ; tibial spurs loug and very 
acute. Tarsus with several rows of short spines beneath and at the sides. Ungues strong, 
acute, simple, very much curved. Paronychia minute, bifid. 
"Abdomen elongate, rather narrow." {Westwood, I. c.) 
Neorina patria. (Plate Xll. fig. 2, d .) 
Neorina patria, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 25 (1891). 
Very similar to Neorina [Cyllo) criViua, Westw., but much smaller, and the colour is more fuliginous ; 
the outer edge of the creamy-white central band of primaries is sinuous, but clearly defined ; 
the subapical ocellus is, in consequence of the dark ground-colour, very indistinct, and the 
two white spots above it and one below are placed as in N. Mlda, Westw. ; the apical portion 
of the outer margin of secondaries is creamy white, but there are no ocelli on the upper surface 
of these wings ; there is an obscure pale submarginal band on all the wings. The colour of 
the under surface is browner than above ; the band of primaries is yellow between cell and 
costa ; the subapical ocellus is well defined, equal in size to that of X. hilda, and, as in that 
species, the two black submarginal lines are preceded by a lilac sufEusion. On the secondaries 
there is a large ocellus towards outer angle, and a smaller one towards anal angle ; above the 
last there is often a more or less distinct bluish spot, sometimes ringed with black ; there are 
two black submarginal lines, — the outer of these is broad and wavy, the inner narrow and 
undulating; the area immediately preceding the inner line is suffused with lilac, as also is 
that of the abdominal margin. 
Expanse, d 90-100 millim., $ 100 millim. 
Occurs at Omei-shan in June and July, and in Moupin in July. 
PronopMla ? schrenckii. 
Promphila schrenckii, Menetries, Schrenck's Reisen^ p. 33, pi. ill. fig. 3 (1859) ; Pryer, 
Rhop. Nilion. p. 32, pi. x. fig. 1. 
Pararge schrenckii, Fixsen, Rom. sur Lep. iii. p. 313 (1887). 
" Alis ampliatis, valde rotundatis, subdentatis, supra cinereo-fuscis ; posticis puuctis quinque tertio 
minimo, fusco-nigris ; alis subtus flavescenti-fuscescentibus, lineis tribus marginalibus, alteris 
sub disco flesuosis fuscis ; anticis ocello unico apicali, posticis sex, 1, 5, 6, majoribus, atris, 
flavo-cinctis, albo-pupiUatis." {Menetries, I. c.) 
Until a new genus is formed for this remarkable species, I prefer leaving 
it in PronopMla. It seems to have no afl&nities Avith Pararge, but is more 
suggestive of an aberrant Lethe. 
This species occurs not uncommonly in July at Moupin and Omei-shan in 
Western China, also in Amurland. It is common at Gensan, Corea, and in 
North-west and Central Japan, and Yesso. As it frequents shady places and 
flies among the dense undergrowth it is very difficult to capture, especially 
in fine condition.
