NTMPHALID^. 
Female. Primaries reddish brown, with a fairly broad, interrupted, fulvous, central band, and a paler 
spot towards apex. On the outer margin of secondaries there are five black spots, the first 
and fifth with white central points, and the third punctiform. The under surface is similar 
to that of the male, but the outer half of the primaries is sufi'used with reddish. 
Expanse, S 64 millim., $ 66 millim. 
Yar. privigna, var. nov. (Plate V. figs. 3 J, 4 $ .) The male is smaller, and the sexual black 
mark is less diffused and forms an almost round spot, intersected by the first median nervule. 
On the under surface of both sexes the band following outer central line is broader and paler 
and is not interrupted. 
In the female the band on upper surface of primaries is narrower, whitish in colour, and hardly 
interrupted. 
Expanse, c? 54 millim., $ 64 millim. 
The type of this species occurs at Chia-ting-fu ; Chia-kou-ho ; and Wa-shan, 
in July, at elevations ranging from 1000-6000 feet. The var. ])nvigna has, 
so far, been received only from Moupin and Wa-ssu-kow, where it occurs also 
in July, but not below 5000 feet.

Lethe trimacula, Leech, Entomologist, xxiii. p. 29 (1890). 
Hale. Fuscous brown ; apical third of primaries slightly paler, and enclosing a distinct ocellus. 
Secondaries with two ocelli near anal angle, the upper one with white pupil faint or entirely 
absent. Under surface of primaries grey-brown, apical third greyish clouded with pale brown, 
and divided off by a dark brown curved slightly wavy band ; the discoidal cell is closed by a 
dark brown line, and divided transversely by another line of the same colour ; ocellus very 
distinct ; a dark brown line parallel with outer margin is preceded by a zigzag one, and 
followed by one at the base of the pale grey fringes. Secondaries greyish, with five well- 
formed ocelli, that on the costa is very large and bipupillatcd, as also is the smaller one at 
anal angle ; two brown lines traverse the disc, the outer curves half round the costal ocellus, 
and then proceeds in a series of waves to the inner margin ; fringes and marginal lines as on 
primaries. The ocelli on both surfaces have pale fulvous irides and are ringed with pale 
fuscous. 
Expanse 08-72 millim. 
Female. Same as male, but apical third of primaries limited by a pale band. 
This species lias been received only from Chang-yang, Central China, 
where several examples of each sex were captured in July. 
Lethe proxima, sp. nov. (riatc VI. fig. 8, c? .) 
Male. Closely allied to Ldhe trimanijfi, Loocli, but exhibiting the following points of difference : — 
On the upper surface the apical third of primai'ies is more distinctly angulated ; the ocellus is 
much larger, and tho fulvous iris is broader ; there are four submarginal ocelli on secondaries,
