distinct-looking varieties leda and ismene, which are now known to be only 
forms of one species. The sexes are pretty constant as regards theii- respective 
coloration and outline of the wings. The only characters which are subject 
to variation are the black subapical spots of primaries ; these, together with 
the white spots placed in them, are, as a rule, Avell defined in the female, but 
often entirely absent in the male. On the secondaries of the female there is 
always one white submarginal spot encircled with black, more or less distinctly, 
near anal angle ; sometimes this sex has one or two other white spots on the 
submarginal area. In the male there is rarely any white spot on the second- 
aries. On the under siu-face of both sexes there is some slight difference 
in tint of ground and amount of striation ; the ocelli also exhibit some varia- 
tion as regards number and definition. 
This species occurs in June and July at Omei-shan, Chia-kou-ho, and Wa- 
shan, also in India, Burma, and Ceylon.

tbe bind ones beneath with two minute distant ocelli. 
" Head moderate, slightly tufted in front.

" Lubial palpi scaly, directed upwards, and reaching a little higher than tbe top of the eyes,

" Fore ivings large, subtriangular. Fore margin very much arched ; apical angle acute. Outer 
margin straight, a little more than two thirds the length of the anterior. Inner margin 
nearly straight, scarcely longer than the outer. Costal vein strong. Postcostal with the 
first branch arising before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell, and running into the 
costal vein before the junction of the latter with the costa ; second branch obliterated ; third 
and fourth branches arising close together at about five sixths of the length of the wing. 
Upper discocellular vein very short and oblique ; middle discocellular obhterated ; the 
upper and lower discoidal veins arising together at the junction of the upper and lower 
discocellular veins ; the latter considerably arched, very oblique, and united to the third
