Lethe hecate, Leech, Eutomologistj xxiv., Suppl. p. 3 (1891). 
Male. Closely allied to L. ci/rene, Leech, but smaller and darker brown in colour ; the outer margin 
of primaries is rounder ; the ocelli on secondaries are smaller, without distinct fulvous rings, 
and the fourth and fifth have white centres. The colour of the under surface is greyish ; the 
outer discal bar of primaries is not continued beyond the median nervure, and the band beyond 
the cell is narrower, more oblique, and sinuous, and terminates at the first median uervule. 
On the secondaries the first ocellus is not so far removed from the others as in L. ct/rene, and 
the whitish borders to the narrower and darker transverse lines and other whitish markings 
are much less broad. 
Expanse 60 millim. 
The female has the outer third of primaries paler and limited by a still paler band ; the second, 
fourth, and fifth ocelli of secondaries are larger. 
Occurs not uncommonly in the neighbourhood of Wa-shan, Ta-chien-lu, and 
Huang-mu-chaug, Western China, at elevations ranging from 2000 to 8000 
feet, during the months of June and July.
