NTMPHALIDiE. 
Euthalia pratti. (Plate XXI. fig. 5, 9 .) 
Euthaha pratti, Leech, Entomologist^ xxiv.^ Suppl. p. 4 (1891). 
Agrees with E. nara, Moore, in coloration, but the character of marking more nearlj' resembles 
that of E. patala^ Koll. The spots, rich cream in the male, white in female, forming the 
central fascia on primaries are smaller, and the last of the series is not elongated in the 
direction of anal angle, as it is in E. patala. On the under surface the fascia of secondaries 
terminates in the first median interspace, and is seen through from above in the form of spots. 
Expanse, S 9-1 millim., 5 105 millim. 
Appears to be a very scarce species. I have only received four specimens 
(2 6 ,'2 2) taken in June and July at Ichang and Chang-yang in Central China, 
and Chia-kou-ho in Western China. 
Euthalia thibetana. (Plate XXI. fig. 8, .) 
Adolias thibetana, Poujade, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1885, p. ccxv. 
Euthalia staudingeri, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Supi^l. Jan. p. 4 (1891). 
" Envergure du male, 72 mill., de la femelle 75 mill. — Voisin de VA. francia', Gray. 
" Male. Dessus vert olive Icgerement bronze, se fondant en brun noiratre aux bords cxternes et 
contre la bande mediane. Cette derniere est, aux ailes superieures, formce de larges taches 
jaune d'ocre internervurales, irregulieres, et commence un peu au-dela du milieu de la cote, 
oblique vers le bord externe, puis rentre vers la base do I'aile pour se contourner cncoro un 
peu avant d'atteindre le bord interne. Ces taches se continuent aux ailes infcrieurcs cn uno 
bande presque droitc, dentelee et eoupce ])ar Ics norvures, allant en pointe un peu au-dessus de 
I'angle anal. Entre ces bandes et les bords cxternes, une bande nuageusc noiratre traverse les 
quatre ailes ; aux superieures, elle commence aux deux taches obliques situces aux trois 
quarts de la cote, puis contourne la bande jaune ; aux ailes inforieures, elle est parallele au 
bord externe. Cellule des ailes superieures occupcc par quatre lignes noires formant deux 
taches a peu pros reniformcs. Franges blanches entrccoupces de noir aux ncrvurcs. 
" Dessous vert olive pale, avec la repetition dcs taches et bandes du dessus. 
^Femelle. Semblable, sauf le ton ge'neral, qui est moins chaud, et les bandes, qui sont d'un jaune 
blaiichatro. 
" Trois individus, un S et deux 5 ) '^^ Thibet orient al (province de Mou-Pin). Captures par 
M. rAbbo A. David." (Poiijade, I. c.) 
Closely allied to E. duda, Stauding(!r *, but the hind margin of primaries is hardly excavated ; the 
ground-colour of all the wings is much greener, and the transverse mnrkings are ochreous 
instead of pure white ; the band on secondaries is narrower, terminates nearer the anal angle, 
and is not externally bordered with blue. The under surface of all the wings is greenish 
rather than blue, and the clubs of the antenna} are reddish brown beneath, and not ti])ped 
with Idack as in PJ. dudn. 
Expanse, c? 70-OG millim., 2 fO-KtO millim. 
Occurs commonly up to 7000 feet in Western and (Central (!liina during the 
m(mtlis of July and August.
