than in the tj-pe, and all the ocelli are much smaller ; all the wings are traversed by a white 
band, which is broader than in the type ; the dark transverse lines are more clearly defined. 
Female. Paler, with two pale spots on the costa of primarief:, from the first of these an indistinct 
pale narrow band runs to inner margin, and is continued across the secondaries ; below the 
second costal spot is a black one, and below this again another white one. The black spots 
on secondaries are obsolescent, except as regards the second, which is always present.

Felder seems to have been a little uncertain about the sex of his type from 
the province of Tse-kiang, but his reference to a pale fascia seems to indi- 
cate a female, as I have not seen, among the numerous specimens I have 
received, a male with anything approaching a fascia on the primaries. In 
some specimens of the male there are no black spots on primaries {segonacia, 
Oberth.), and in others there are as many as four. On the secondaries there 
are sometimes four fairly large oval black spots encircled with dull ochreous, 
but often there is only one, which is placed on the first median interspace. 
Usually there are two whitish spots on the costa, and these are sometimes 
connected by a whitish dash, but in many specimens the inner one is absent. 
Occurs at several places in Western China, and at Chang-yang, Ichang, and 
Kiukiang in Central China ; but the var. felderi has been received only from 
Omei-shan, at which place both the other forms also occur.
