" Four hind legs moderately long, scaly. Tibife and tarsi finely spined beneath. Tibiae of the 
middle legs shorter than the femora ; those of the hind legs equal to them in length. 
Tibial spurs short. Claws, paronychia, and pulvillus of moderate size. 
"Abdomen small, elongate-conic in the males; more robust in the females. 
" Larva naked, gradually attenuated behind ; the head armed with two spines, and the tail with 
two obtuse points. 
" Pupa compressed at the sides ; the back carinated, and the head bifid." ( WestwooJ, I. c.)

"Alls subdentatis, supra fuscis ; anticarum fascia transversali ohliqua, posticarum disco, albis ; 
super marginera interiorem maculis duabus fulvis : subtus, anticis basi violaceo-coerulescentibus 
posticis cinerasccnti-argenteis, striga transversa extrorsum lunulata, margineque quatuor 
alarum fulvo-fuscis." (Menctries, I. c.) 
" "Wings black ; fore wings with central row of five white spots ; between these and the inner 
margin is a dash of fulvous, and near the inner margin itself a patch of light blue. Hind 
wings with a central white patch bordered with blue or violet. Underside : fore wings black, 
variously spotted with white, blue, violet, light green, and orange. Hind wings pearly 
white, with a narrow orange band bordered with black, limiting the basal portion ; hind 
margin with a similarly-coloured band throughout its entire length. 
" Expanse 3-0 to 3-10 inches." {Lang, L c.) 
Staudinger (Rom. sur Lep. vi. p. 107) states that a preserved larva of this 
species, which Dorries brou<^ht from the Ussuri, greatly resembles a large 
larva of A. ilia ; and Graescr * says that a very large light-green Apatura-\\ke 
])upa, found by Dorries on Ostrija, produced a male specimen of A. schrencki. 
Occurs in Amurland. I obtained specimens at Gcnsan, Corea, and Fixsen 
also records the species from the same country. It docs not appear to be 
common anywhere. 
'I'his interesting species appears to have more characters in common with 
Apatura than with any other genus. 
On the under surface it bears a great resemblai;ce to Apatura clievaita 
Moore.
