48 NYMPHALID^. 
sinueuse d'un brun veloute ; base traversee jusqu'au milieu par quatre lignes tres sinueuses 
d'un lilas soyeux ; bord externe orne de cinq yeux noirs a iris orange, pupUles de blanc et 
saupoudres de lilas ; chaque cell est largement entoure d'un cercle de cetto derniere couleur. 
Borduro fauve, preoedee d'un iin lisere lUas. Frange des quatre ailes blanche entrecoupee 
de brun en dessus et dessous.

In the Chinese form of this species (var. moupinensis, Pouj.) the male is smaller, and both sexes 
are darker ; the outer margin of the primaries is straighter, and there is but one pale spot on 
the costa ; the external margin of secondaries is less angulated in contour, and the ocelli are 
represented by black dots. On the under surface the coloration and markings are very similar 
to these characters in typical dura, but the primaries have a reddish apical dash, the ocelli 
are indistinct and only two in number ; all the oceUi on the secondaries, excepting the sixth, 
have a faded appearance. 
Expanse, <S 70 millim., 5 80 miUim. 
Chinese specimens agree almost exactly with an example of dura in the 
collection of the late Herr. Otto Moller which I had not seen when I 
described the insect under the name of lihitina. Subsequent study and com- 
parison of the Chinese specimens with dura lead me to the opinion that 
both are forms of one species, i. e. Z. dura. Moupinensis, Pouj. (=libUina, 
Leech), has rather shorter " tails " than dura, and the upper surface is some- 
what darker in colour, but in other respects there appears to be no difference 
of specific value. 
Occurs sparingly at various places in Western China, and I have one 
female example from Chaug-yang.
