" Un seul male, de Mou-Pin (Thibet oriental), capture par M. I'Abbc A. David. — Coll. du Museum." 
(Poujade, I.e.) 
As my specimens from China are larger and of a form differing from the 
type as figured by Oberthiir in several characters, I describe them as 
Var. oreas, var. nov. (Plate XXVI. fig. 6, S •) Male. All the fulvous markings are narrower and 
some of them yellowish ; there is an interrupted blue siibmargiiial line on secondaries. The 
colouring of the iinder surface is far more vivid ; there is a lilaciue patch enclosing three 
white dots towards apex of primaries, and a similar patch enclosing one white dot in the 
first median interspace ; a lilacine submarginal line on the secondaries outwardly bordered 
with black, and a similar line faintly indicated on primaries. Expanse 52 millim. 
This form occurs at Wa-ssu-kow, Chow-pin-sa, and Pu-tsu-fong. I received 
a number of specimens, but they are all males.

"AL-e cellulis discoidalibus tenuiter clausis, anticre geniculo discali majore quam in P. liedonia et

" Antennse rather long, beneath scarcely annulated, terminating gradually in a rather narrow club. 
Palpi as in section Iwdonia of Precis, but a little shorter and s< outer. Wings with the dis- 
discoidal cells slenderly closed. Fore wing with the discal geniculum (? bend in the lower 
discocellxilar nervule) greater than in P. hedonia and its allies, with the second subcostal 
nervule a little more distant from the end of the cell, the third given off in the middle of the 
wing. Hind wing with the discoidal nervule more distant from the lower subcostal nervule 
than in Precis. General appearance scarcely different from Ergolis." (de Niceville, I. c.)
