Vol. 3 of Romanoff's ' Memoires sur les Lepidopteres ' Avas received in 
London, including a paper by Fixsen, in which 93 Butterflies from the Corea 
are enumerated, and among them AjJCitura princeps, Fixsen, which is 
identical with my S. [A.) cauta.

"Head small; eyes nakeA.; ajitomcB medium, the club obtuse ovate. Pa/^^i scaly, ascending, twice 
as high as the head. 
" Wings with the cells open. 
" Fore wing with the subcostal nervure four-branched, the first branch in the middle of the cell, 
the second beyond the extremity of it, the third arising before the apex of the wing (and 
the fourth very short), the first discoeellular rather long, longitudinal, and with the two 
discoidal nervules arising from the same point. 
" Bind wing with the prsecostal nervure emitted beyond the origin of the subcostal nervure. 
" Genus with the neuration of the fore wing sufficiently distinct from that of other Nymphalinoc, 
perhaps allied to Aj>afura.'' (de Niceville, I. c.) 
Helcyra superba. (Plate XX. fig. 2, ? .) 
Helcyra superba, Leech, Entomologist, xxiii. p. 189 (1890). 
Closely allied to H. Jiemina, Hewitson, but it differs from that species in the position and size of 
the black markings on upper surface. Nearly tho whole of the apical half of the primaries is 
black, and this has its inner edge more deeply indented ; the discal spots are two in number, 
but the larger is bi'oadly linear. On the secondaries there are eight black spots, arranged one 
below the other in a transverse series ; the second of these is the largest, and the first, third, 
fifth, and sixth are often faint and sometimes entirely eliminated ; the submarginal line is 
broad and dentate throughout from costa to anal angle. Fringes white, preceded by a narrow 
fuliginous-grey line. Under surface shining white ; apical and discal markings of primaries 
faintly showing through from above : on the secondaries is a transverse series of black lunules ; 
those in the first subcostal and second median interspaces are followed by black spots edged 
internally with orange. 
Expanse, d 82-90 millim., $ 92-98 millim. 
In a few examples there is, on the under surface of primaries, an orange- 
bordered black spot in the second median interspace. 
Not uncommon in July at Chia-kou-ho, and has also occurred sparingly in 
the province of Kwei-chow and at Moupin.
