Zophoessa procne. (Plate Vll. fig. 0,6 .) 
Zophoessa procne, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 2 (1891). 
Male. Allied to Zo^tlioessa helle, but the boundary of basal two thirds of primaries is rather more 
irregular, though less indented, than in Z. armandina, and the fulvous border is broken up 
into spots ; the apical spots are fulvous, and there are two other fulvous spots below ; the 
submarginal blackish band is also broken up into spots ; the dusky bar in discal ceU is 
incurved, and is preceded by a dusky patch. 13elow the apical white spots on under surface 
of primaries are two other white spots, the upper of these is encircled with black ; the pale 
primrose discal bar is broad, incurved, and surrounded with brownish. On the under surface 
of secondaries there are two parallel lustrous wavy lines towards the base ; from the middle 
of the costa a broad pale primrose patch extends to subcostal nervule, from whence two 
almost parallel undulating lustrous lines run to the inner margin ; the space between these 
lines is dusted with brownish grey. 
Female. Similar to the male, but the fulvous markings are replaced by white, and are rather larger. 
Expanse 60 millim. 
Occurs at Wa-shan, June ; Huang-mu-chang, July ; Ta-tsien-lu, July aud 
August. 
A common species ; its area of distribution in Western China is almost 
identical with that of Z. helle, and it occurs during the same months, i. e. 
June to August.

" Envergure : 63 mill. — Tres voisin du D. luteofasciata ; ailes inferieures coupees plus carrement' 
avec les denteleures plus inegales, celle du milieu cgalement la plus accusee ; couleur generale 
semblable, laissant voir, par transparence, les lignes et taches du dessous. 
" Couleur du dessous d'un brun verdatre clair et luisant. Aux ailes supcrieures cinq fascies d'un 
blanc terne disposees comme chez le D. luteofasciata : le long du bord externe, cinq petits 
yeux noirs, pupilles de blanc, faiblement cercles de fauve. Ailes inferieures avec deux fascies 
blanchatres : I'une, presque mediane, part de la cote et se dirige vers I'angle interne ; I'autre, 
sinue'e, longe le horde externe et renferme, cntre elle et celui-ci, une serie de cinq yeux noirs, 
pupilles de blanc, diminuant de grosseur de Tangle interne a Tangle externe et faiblement 
cercles de fauve. Centre cette derniere fascie et touchant la cote, un grand ceil semblable 
est enclave entre les deux premieres branches de la nervure sous-costale. Bordure jaunatre 
avec deux lisores bruns, frange blanchatre." {Poujade, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1884.) 
The female has two pale transverse bands on upper surface of primaries, both are fainter towards 
inner margin, where they approximate ; the ocelli on secondaries are larger. 
Poujade (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1885, p. cxliii) seems to have considered that 
his albolineata was identical with andersoni, Atkinson ; but, as has been
