primaries, and llioso on the secondaries are not well defined. Antennifi black, with the club 
broadly tipped with yellow above, and entirely fulvous liencath. 
Expanse 70 millim. 
Occurs at Omei-shan in June and July, also at Moupin and in the Province 
of Kwei-chow. 
The broad yellow patch on secondaries at once distinguishes this species 
from its congeners. 
Euthalia consobrina. (Plate xxi. fig. 3, ? .) 
Eiithalia consobrina, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. Feb. p. 29 (1891) ; Grose Smith 
& Kirby, Rhopal. Exot. pt. xvii. [Eutlialia] p. 9, pi. iii. figs. 5, 6, ? (1891). 
Female. Allied to E. pratii, Leech, but more olivaceous ; the macular band of primaries is more 
oblique : on the secondaries there are two dark transverse bands beyond the middle ; the 
first not well defined, and near the costa edged with white ; the second is parallel with 
outer margin, and broadest towards costa. Under surface similar to that of E. patala, KoU., 
but the spots forming the oblique band of primaries are smaller and differently shaped. 
Antennae black ; clubs broadly ti])ped with pale fulvous above, entirely fulvous beneath. 
E.xpansc 70-88 millim. 
Occurs at Omei-shan in June and July ; also at Moupin and in the Province 
of Kwei-chow, Western China. 
Although I have received a large number of specimens of this species, I 
have not been able to detect an example of the male sex, whereas of Euthalia 
omeia, which occru's in the same localities, no specimen of the female has 
yet been discovered. Notwithstanding the striking difference in colour and 
marking of the wings, the clubs of the antenna; and shape of discoidal 
markings, which I consider important characters in separating species of the 
genus Euthalia, agree ; therefore it is possible that E. consobrina may be the 
female of E. omeia. However, until more conclusive evidence on this point 
has been obtained, I consider it advisable that tliey should remain separate. 
Genus HESTINA. 
Biadema, Section 6, Hestina, Westwood, Geu. Diurii. Lep. ii. p. 281 (1850). 
Hestina, Folder, Neues Lep. p. 25 (1861) ; de Niceville, Butt. Ind. ii. p. 55 (1886). 
" Discoidal cell of both wings open. Second subcostal nervule of the fore wdng arising close to 
the origin of the upper discocellular nervule." ( Westwood, 1. c.)
