there arc clouds of the same between the two dark brown spots and in the submcdian inter- 
space, uniting at the inner angle with a fuscous cloud, which extends along tlie inner maigin. 
Secondaries have a dark brown spot in first median interspace, and the fuscous-brown outer 
marginal border is intersected by a transverse band of the ground-colour. Under surface pale 
fulvous. All the markings of primaries are faintly reproduced, with the exception of the 
round spot in first median interspace, which is very distinct and has a bluish dot towards its 
outer edge : the secondaries have the marginal markings of upperside faintly reproduced, but 
there is also a broad reddish transverse central line followed by a scries of pale blotches ; the 
ocellus is distinct and has a bluish centre. 
Expanse 78 millim. 
This species has been received from Omei-shan and the Province of Kaa ei- 
chow in Western China, 
A. fulva is allied to Potamis (or Apatura) ulupi, Doherty (Journ. Asiat. 
Soc, Beng. Iviii, p. 125, pi. x, fig, 2, 1889), a species occurring on the eastern 
frontier of Upper Assam,

Dark fuscous brown. Primaries edged with yellowish along the costa to beyond the middle, and 
tinged with the same colour on outer margin ; the central area is traversed by a yelloAv band 
composed of seven spots, of which the two nearest costa are smaller and the next pair larger 
than the other three ; a white spot towards apex. Secondaries with a central transverse 
yellow band extending from costa to submedian nervure, and interrupted by the nervnles : 
the outer margin is yellow, tinged with fuscous, and intersected by a transverse line of the 
ground-colour, a black spot above anal angle. Under surface opalescent, clouded with tawny 
on the outer margin of all the wings : the primaries have a bluish-white spot near apex, below 
this are three small dots of the same colour and a black dot set in a tawny ring ; secondaries 
with a well-defined ocellatod spot near anal angle, and a series of small spots above : the 
basal half of all the wings is darker than the outer half, and separated by a tawny transverse 
line, most clearly defined on the secondaries. 
Expanse, <S 74 millim., 5 82 millim. 
Occurs at Chang-yang, Central China, in July and August, and also at 
Omei-shan, and in the Province of Kwei-chow, AVestern China, 
The outer margin of primaries is more concave and the anal angle oi 
secondaries more produced in the male ; but the sexes are alike in colour and 
markings. Mr. Grose Smith's figure of this species appears to me to represent 
a female, which sex seems to be oftener met Avith than the male.
