unlike any species of the genus with which I am acquainted, but the markings 
of" secondaries bear a superficial resemblance to those of Argynnis paphia. 
Apatura subalba. (Plate XV. fig. 3, d .) 
Apatura subalba, Poujadc, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1885^ p. ccvii ; Leech, Trans. Ent. Soc. 
Lond. 1889, p. 108. 
" Envergure : 65 mill. — Dessus d'un brun clair. Ailes superieures en triangle rectangle 
allonge, a peine dentees, ayant quatre taches blanches arrondies : I'line aux deux tiers du 
bord costal, suivie d"une autre se dirigeant obliquement vers le bord externe, les autres paral- 
K'les aux deux premieres et situees presque an milieu de I'aile ; une cinquieme, a peine 
marquee, est jilaeee sur la nervure sous-mediane, immediatement au-dessous da la taohe 
eentrale. Ailes inferieures a bord externe presque droit, assez fortement dentc, borde d'un 
liscre brun fence nuageus, parallcle aux denticulations : bord costal orne, au dernier tiers, de 
deux taches blanches superposees. 
" Dessous d'un blanc soyeux, a reflets irises ; une tache brunc, a pen pres de la forme du chiffre 2, 
surmontec d'un point de meme couleur, est situee presque a Tangle interne de I'aile superieure ; 
les taches blanches du dessus apparaissent en blanc mat." {Povjadc, 1. c.) 
The type, a small female in very poor condition, is in the Paris Museum. 
It was taken by Abbe David in Moupin. The male has rather sharper 
primaries, otherwise the sexes do not differ. 
In some examples of both sexes the white spots of costal area on upper 
surface of secondaries are either faint or entirely absent. On the under 
sm-face of the secondaries of one specimen there is a large C-like spot, out- 
lined with black, at anal angle and a blackish spot above it in the first median 
interspace. 
Occurs in Western China in June, J uly, and August, and has been received 
from Wa-shan, Chia-kou-ho, Moupin, and Huaug-mu-chang. In Central 
China it has been found at Kiukiang in May and June, and at Ichang and 
Chang-yang in July. 
Although it seems to be widely distributed, this species does not appear to 
be anywhere common.

Apatura fidva. Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Sujjpl. p. 30 (1891) ; Grose Smith & Kirby, 
Rhopal. Exot. pt. xLx. {Apatura) p. 2, pi. i. figs. 5, 6, (J (1892). 
Male. Pale fulvous, with brownish markings. Primaries have a large blackish-brown patch at 
end of discoidal cell, and a round spot of the same colour in first median interspace ; there are 
two pale spots in the apical third, which is fuscous brown ; a band of the same colour is 
continued alongthe outer margin, but terminates jiist beyond the first median interspace, and
