EUTHALIA. 
discoccllular black lines; abdominal margin greenish grey. Underside greenish yellow, lighter 
and darker in portions, marked as above, discoidal markings on both wings, lower part of 
disc of fore wing with blackish patches. 
" Expanse 3| inches." (Moore, 1. c.) 
I have received a number of male specimens from Omei-shan and Moupin. 
Referring to its distribution.in India, de Niceville (L c.) observes that the 
range of JE. saliadeva extends from Nepal to Shillong, and that it is decidedly 
a rare species. Ehves (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lend. 1888, p. 357) states that this 
species is rare in Sikkim. 
Euthalia pyrrha, sp. nov. (Plate XXI. fig. 4, $ .) 
Female. Dark olive-green. Primaries have an oblique yellowish macular band, somewhat similar 
to that of E. confucins ; there are two yellowish or whitish subapical spots ; a broad pale 
band on submarginal area is preceded by a blackish band and followed by a series of blackish 
lunules on the outer margin ; the stigmata in discoidal cell and submedian interspace are 
outlined in black, and in shape are very similar to the same marks in E. lardama. Secondaries 
have the discoidal mark faintly outlined in blackish ; the central band is indicated by three 
yellowish spots, surrounded with black below costa, and a blackish spot in each interspace to 
the first median, one or both of the last two with yellowish centres ; submarginal band and 
marginal lunules as on primaries. Fringes black, chequered with white. Under surface 
yellowish green ; markings on primaries as above, but the central band is white, and there is 
a patch of black in the submedian interspace below the termination of the band ; the discal 
area is more or less suffused with blackish : secondaries have the central band represented by 
a series of six blue-tinted white spots, the fourth often small and sometimes absent, the second 
large and trigouate ; submarginal band indicated by a series of dark green spots. Antennffi 
blackish above, reddish beneath ; clubs black above, tipped with reddish. 
Expanse 89-93 millim. 
This species greatly resembles E. kardama on the under surface of secon- 
daries, but the confucius-\\ke band of the primaries at once separates it. In 
one specimen from Omei-shan the central band of secondaries is hardly 
represented on either surface. 
Occurs in the Province of Kwei-chow and at Moupin and Omei-shan in 
June and July, but a^jpears to be rare. 
All the specimens that I have received, five in number, are females ; and as 
these agree with the male of E. sahadeva in the antennae and character of 
discoidal markings on both surfaces of the wings, I am inclined to think that 
E. pyrrha may ultimately prove to be the female of E. sahadeva, which occurs 
in the same localities and of which the female is unknown.
