as long as the femur, with two rows of siiiull spines beneath ; tibial spurs long and very 
acute. Tarsus with several rows of short spines beneath and at the sides. Ungues strong, 
acute, simple, very much curved. Paronychia minute, bifid. 
" Abdosiex elongate, rather narrow." (Westwood, 1. c.) 
Neorina patria. (Plate Xll. fig. 2, d .) 
Neorlna juttria, Lcccli, Entomologist, x.iiv., Suppl. p. 25 (1891). 
Very similar to Svor'aia {Cyllo) crishiia,'West\\., but much smaller, and the coloui' is more fuliginous ; 
the outer edge of the croamy-white central band of primaries is sinuous, but clearly defined ; 
the subapical ocellus is, in consequence of the dark ground-coloiu', very indistinct, and the 
two white spots above it and one below are placed as in iS'. Jiilda, W'estw. ; the apical portion 
of the outer margin of secondaries is creamy white, but there are no ocelli on the upper surface 
of these wings ; there is an obscure pale submarginal band on all the wings. The colour of 
the under surface is browner than above ; the band of primaries is yellow between tell and 
costa ; the subapical ocellus is wcU defined, equal in size to that of X Jiilda, and, as in that 
species, the two black submarginal lines are preceded by a lilac suffusion. On the secondaries 
there is a large ocellus towards outer angle, and a smaller one towards anal angle ; above the 
last there is often a more or less distinct bluish spot, sometimes ringed with black ; there are 
two black submarginal lines, — the outer of these is broad and wavy, the inner narrow and 
undulating; the area immediately preceding the inner line is sufl\ised with lilac, as also is 
that of the abdominal margin. 
Expanse, J 90-100 millim., $ 100 millim. 
Occurs at Omei-shan in June and July, and iu INIoupin in July. 
Pronophila? schrenckii. 
Pronophila schrenckii, Menetries, Schreuck's Reiseu, p. 33, pi. iii. fig. 3 (1859) ; Pryer, 
Rhop. Nilion. p. 33, pi. x. fig. 1. 
Pararge schrenckii, Fixsen, Rom. sur Lep. iii. p. 313 (1887). 
" Alis ampliatis, valde rotundatis, subdentatis, supra cinereo-fuscis ; posticis punctis quinquo tertio 
minimo, fusco-nigris ; alis subtus flavescenti-fuscescentibus, lineis tribus marginalibus, alteris 
sub disco flexuosis fuscis ; antieis oceUo unico apicali, posticis sex, 1, 5, 6, majoribus, atris, 
flavo-cinctis, albo-pupillatis.'" (Menetries, I. c.) 
Until a new genus is formed for this remarkable species, I prefer leaving 
it in Pronophila. It seems to have no affinities \\\i\\ Pararge, but is more 
suggestive of an abenant Lethe. 
This species occurs not uncommonly in July at Moupin and Omei-shan iu 
Western China, also in Amurland. It is common at Gensan, Corea, and in 
North-west and Central Japan, and Yesso. As it frequents shady places and 
flies among the dense undergrowth it is. very difficult to capture, especially 
in fine condition.
