154 NYMPH ALID^. 
" Four hind hijs moderately long, scaly. Tibias and tarsi finely spined beneath. Tibise of the 
middle legs shorter than the femora ; those of the hind legs equal to them in length. 
Tibial spurs short. Claws, paronychia, and pulvillus of moderate size. 
" Abdomen small, elongate-conic in the males ; more robust in the females. 
" Larva naked, gradually attenuated behind ; tho head armed with two spines, and the tail with 
two obtuse points. 
" Pupa compressed at the sides ; the back carinated, and the head bifid." {^WestwooJ, I. c.) 
Apatura schrencki. 
Adolias schrenckii, Menetries, Bull. Acad. Pet. xvii. p. 215 (1859) ; Sclireuck's Reisen, 
ii. p. 31, pi. iii. fig. 2 (1859). 
Apatura schrenckii, Bremer, Lep. Ost-Sib. p. 19 (1864) ; Fixsen, Rom. sur Lep. iii. 
p. 292 (1887). 
Limenitis schrenckii, Lang, Butt. Eur. p. 215 (1884). 
Euripus schrenkii, Kirby, Cat. Diurn. Lep. p. 228 (1871). 
" Alis subdentatis, supra fuscis ; anticarum fascia transversali obliqua, posticarum disco, albis ; 
super marginem interiorem maculis duabus fulvis : subtus, anticis basi violaceo-ccerulescentibus 
posticis cinerasceuti-argenteis, striga transversa extrorsum lunulata, marginequo quatuor 
alarum fulvo-fuscis." (ileiietries, I. c.) 
" AVino-s black ; fore wings with central row of five white spots ; between these and the inner 
margin is a dash of fulvous, and near the inner margin itself a patch of light blue. Hind 
■wings with a central white patch bordered with blue or violet. Underside : fore wings black, 
variously spotted with white, blue, violet, light green, and orange. Hind wings pearly 
■white, with a narrow orange band bordered with black, limiting the basal portion ; hind 
margin with a similarly-coloured band throughout its entire length. 
" Expanse 3-0 to 3-10 inches." (Lang, I c.) 
Staudinger (Rom. sur Lep. vi. p. 167) states that a preserved larva of this 
species, which Dorries brought from the Ussvuri, greatly resembles a large 
larva of A. ilia ; and Graeser * says that a very large light-green A^atura-like 
pupa, found by Domes on Ostri/a, produced a male specimen of A. schrencki. 
Occurs in Amuiiand. I obtained specimens at Gensan, Corea, and Fixsen 
also records the species from the same country. It does not appear to be 
common anywhere. 
This interesting species appears to have more characters in common with 
A])aiura than vAi\\ any other genus. 
On the under surface it bears a great resemblance to Apatura cJievana 
Moore.
