ENISPE. 
]11 
branch of the median vein ab the same distance from its base as exists between the base of 
the second and third branches of the median, closing the discoidal cell at an acute angle; 
its anterior extremity extending to two fifths of the length of the wing. 
" Hind wings subtriangular. The costal margin much arched. The outer margin slightly 
scalloped. Precostal vein upright, its extremity bent slightly towards the body. Subcostal 
vein branching near its base. Upper discocellular forming the slightly curved base of the 
discoidal vein, and arising at a short distance from the base of the subcostal branch ; lower 
discocellular wanting, so that the narrow discoidal cell is open at the extremity. Median 
vein robust, branching much lower in the wing than the branches of the subcostal vein. 
"Fore legs oi the male minute, pectoral, moderately feathered. The tibia shorter than the 
femur, and the tarsus nearly equal to the tibia in length, cxarticulate, and destitute of 
apical ungues. 
" Four Tiind legs strong. Tibia? and tarsi armed beneath with rows of minute spines. Middle 
pair of legs longer than the hind ones. Ungues rather large, sickle-shaped, and very 
acute. 
" Abdomen moderately robust." ( Westwood, I. c.) 
Enispe lunatus. (Plate I. figs, l ? , 2 d .) 
Enispe haiatus, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 26 (1891). 
Male. Allied to Enispe eutliymius, Doubleday, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. xvi. p. 179 (1845), but the 
anal angle is less acuminate, the cell of primaries is not closed by a black bar, and the black 
discal spot is linear, curved, and sometimes bifurcate ; the submarginal black line is formed 
of a series of curves instead of angles as in E. euthgmius, and is preceded by a few sagittate 
marks placed on the nervules. On the secondaries the only markings are two submarginal 
lines, the first lunulated, the second serrated. The under surface is pale yellowish brown, 
with some faint dusky mottling on the outer third of all the wings ; two angulated subbasal 
lines, central bar, and interrupted submarginal line on primaries, dark brown : on the second- 
aries the brown subbasal line is wavy to the median uervure and angulated before submedian, 
the central line is deep brown ; there is a large black spot, surrounded with brown in the first 
cellular interspace, and a similar spot with a white central dot in the first median interspace ; 
submarginal line as on primaries. 
Female. Similar to male, but the costal area of primaries from cell to apex is white, and irregular 
bands of the same colour precede and follow the submarginal line ; the central transverse 
markings on all the wings are similar in character to those of the same sex of E. eutliymius.

Very common at Omei-shan in June and at Moupin in J uly. The species 
does not appear to occur in Central China.
