smaller, and the venation is not marked witli white on the central third of the wings. On 
the under surface of primaries the yellow markings are deeper in colour, and the black ones 
are more intense ; the ocelli are without pupils : the white markings of the secondaries are 
replaced by grey, and are narrower ; the basal transverse olive-brown band is broken up into 
three spots ; the ocelli are not pupiUated, and the second ocellus is elongate. 
Expanse, S 70 millim., 5 "4 millim. 
Occurs in Western China, at Wa-ssu-kow, Omei-slian, Chia-kou-ho, and 
Chow-pin-sa, in June and July.

" Neope Ichasiana, Moore. — Male. Allied toiV^. hhadra. Upperside : markings on fore wing similar, 
the two streaks within the cell much less distinct, that crossing its middle almost obsolete ; 
the streak between the lower median and submedian narrower, and confluent with its 
terminal spot ; hind wing ochreous-yellow, with the costal border and apical end of exterior 
border brown, the immediate base of the wing ochr.eous-brown ; a large oval dark brown spot 
below lower end of the cell, and a discal curved series of six round spots decreasing in size to 
a minute spot above anal angle. Underside similarly marked to N. hhadra, except that there 
are two subapical ocelli, the lower one situated between the upper and middle median veins ; 
the three streaks crossing the cell are zigzag, and the posterior margin broadly ochreous ; hind 
wing with a regular transverse subbasal ochreous- white fascia, the dark spot at end of the cell 
smaller and more prominent, the transverse series of ocelli also smaller, the interspace on both 
sides pale ochreous-brown. Expanse 3| inches.

The female differs from the male in having the yellow spots of primaries larger; the basal third 
is suffused with yellowish ; there are two broad yellow dashes parallel with inner margin, and 
a large irregular patch at extremity of cell. 
The type occurs at Moupin, Ta-cliien-lu, and several other localities in 
Western China during July. 
Var. fusca. (Plato VIII. figs. 5 , 0 $ .) Primaries much as in the type, but a trifle darker in 
colour ; the secondaries are brown, instead of yellow as in the type, but the black spots arc 
more or less completely encircled with yellowish. The general appearance of the upper 
surface is very like that oi Neope bremeri, Fcld. (PI. VIII. tig. 7). 
This form was obtained only at Chang-yang and Omei-shan in July and 
August.
