form of tlie discoidal streak on primaries is very similar to that of 
L. helmanni.

China. 
Athyma recurva, sp. nov. (Plate XVII. fig. 9, s .) 
Male. Deep purplish black. The white bands and spots are very similar to those of A. disjuncta, 
but the discoidal markings of primaries are different and comprise a thin line of white along 
the lower wall of discoidal cell and a large triangular white spot at the end of the cell ; the 
submarginal band of secondaries is nearer the outer margin. Under surface reddish brown ; 
primaries ornamented as above : secondaries have a rather broad, curved, greyish-white 
streak extending from the base of the median nervure to the costal spot of the central band ; 
there is a large black annulatcd mark in the discoidal cell and some short black streaks above 
it ; the white submarginal band is narrow and preceded by a series of fuliginous spots, the 
fourth, fifth, and sixth edged internally with whitish ; marginal line white, tinged with 
lilacine ; the edge of the abdominal fold is ashy grey. 
Expanse 70-75 millim. 
Occurs at Moupin and Wa-shan, Western China, in June, but appears to 
be very scarce.

with blackish ; there are indications of a violet-grey submarginal line : secondaries white 
along the costa, central white fascia extends from costa to the bluish-grey abdominal fold
