NYMPHALIU^. 
pointed out by Oberthiir {!. c), the two insects, although certainly very 
similar in many respects, are specifically distinct. Apart from their different 
tint on the upper surface they are easily separated by the colour and markings 
of the underside : andersoni is of a golden brown with brilliant silver trans- 
verse lines ; but alhoUneata is sombre olive-brown, Avith silky white transverse 
lines. 
Occurs sparingly at Chang-yang, and is Avidely distributed and not uncom- 
mon in Western China. 
Zophoessa argentata. (Plate Vli. fig. 8, 6 .) 
Zophoessa argentata, Lecch^ Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 1 (1891). 
AUied to Zoplioessa {Delis) ctlbolineata, Poujade, but smaller ; the male has two whitish bands on 
the primaries (in this respect resembling the female of Z. alhoUneata), approximating towards 
the inner angle ; the outermost is followed by a series of five black dots. Secondaries have 
five black marginal spots, as in alhoUneata, but they are set in pale rings, and the white 
pupils of the fourth and fifth are more distinct ; a pale line, parallel with outer margin, 
expands into a band towards anal angle, where it becomes bright fulvous. On the under 
surface of primaries the markings of this species are somewhat similar to those of Zophoessa 
(IJehis) andersoni, Atkinson, but on the sccondarics'the costal, median, and submcdian nerves 
are mapped out in silver; the central silver fascia is broad, but docs not extend beyond the 
third median nervulc; a slender transverse silver streak runs from the base of the first median 
nervule, and almost parallel with that vein, nearly to the anal angle ; a silver submargiual 
band, interrupted by the nervules and bordered internally with dark brown, is followed by a 
transverse series of silver points set in blackish rings. 
Expanse, d 54 millim., 5 58 millim. 
This was not an uncommon species in some parts of A¥estern China in the 
year 1889, and was on the wing from June to August, occurring up to an 
elevation of 7000 feet. The species was not observed by my collectors in 
1890.
