NYMPHALID^. 
Var. suflfusa, var. nov. (Plate I. fig. 3, 2 .) Basal half of primaries and the greater portion of 
secondaries suffused with reddish brown ; the sagittate marks on outer margin of secondaries 
united, forming a broad black marginal band. 
This form only occurs in Western China, the specimens from Central China 
are of the typical form, but one example from Ichang has a distinct ocellus 
on the upper surface of the secondaries, placed between the first and second 
median nervules. 
Common in Central China at Ichang, also at Wa-shan, Chia-kou-ho, Kwei- 
chow, and Omei-shan in Western China. The type, which is in the National 
Museum at South Kensington, is from Shanghai (? SnoAvy Valley, Ningpo). 
Stichophthalma neumogeni, sp. n. (Plate I. fig. 5, d .) 
Male. Similar to »Sf. howqua on the upper surface, but much smaller. On the under surface of 
secondaries there are two blackish marks in the discoidal cell ; the transverse central lines of 
all the wings are rather differently shaped ; the submarginal lines are closely dentate ; the 
marginal shade-like lines are wavy, with projecting teeth on each nervulc ; the third and 
fourth ocelli of primaries and the second and fourth ocelli of secondaries are absent, and the 
remainder on both wings, with the exception of the fifth of secondaries, indistinct.
