inwards, but not reaching the apex of each lunule. Hind wing with the base red ; then a 
pale greenish irregular band bearing narrow black lines in pairs ; then a red band ; a pale

" Female. Upperside with ground-colour, especially of the fore wing, dusky ferruginous, in some 
specimens dusky greenish. Otherwise as in the male." (de Niceville, I. c.) 
In some female specimens from China the ground-colour of the secondaries 
is greenish-grey with a very slight ferruginous tint only observed in certain 
lights. 
The males range from 89-100 millim., and the females from 86-114 millim. 
in expanse. 
This species is fairly abundant at Chia-kou-ho, Huang-mu-chang, and 
Omei-shan in Western China at elevations ranging from about 4000 feet 
to 7000 feet, and also occurs, at lower elevations, at Ichang in Central 
China. 
According to M. de Niceville C, hihlis is common up to 7000 feet in 
Sikkim, Assam, and the Khasi Hills. It is also recorded from Upper Burma, 
Mergui, and Perak, and from Hainan, China.
