This is a common species tlnougliout China, from Jvingpo to Moupin. All 
the specimens I have received agree in all important characters with a 
beantiful coloured drawing of tlie type of var. nimiponna in Baron Felder's 
collection, kindly sent to me by Dr. Rogenhofer, of the Natural History 
Museum, Vienna, and also with de Niceville's description as given above. 
In some examples the discoidal streak is almost linear throughout and the 
terminal portion hardly detached ; in others the outer third of the streak is 
broadly sagittate and distinctly, though not Avidely, separated from the main 
portion. I have never seen any example of A. suljntia with the discoidal 
streak so broad and the terminal portion so widely removed as represented in 
Cramer's figure of the type, which was probably from South China. 
"Ivollar states that Carl Freiherr von Hiigel brought this species from 
Masuri ; there is, however, as far as I am aware, no other record of its occur- 
rence out of China." [de KiceviUe.)

Fuliginous black, with white markings. Discoidal streak of primaries terminating in a somewhat 
triangular head, and followed b}' an oblong transverse dash ; beyond and nearer the costa 
are three other oblong spots ; central band composed of eight spots, the sixth of which is 
round and larger than the others, but the fourth is very small or quite absent ; submargiual 
series of linear spots only faintly indicated towards costa, followed by black quadrate spots. 
Secondaries with central and submargiual bands, the latter composed of linear spots, slightly 
decreasing in size towards costa ; between the bands and also before outer margin are some 
black quadrate spots. Under surface of primaries blackish, marked with tawny along the 
nerves ; basal and central spots as above, hut the fourth spot of the latter series more clearly 
defined ; marginal series large, those nearest the costa nearly obliterated, and the others 
intersected by a tawny transverse band ; secondaries tawny, with a black-edged white streak 
from the middle of the base to the costa, followed by some black dots ; central band bordered 
with blackish, interrupted, and extending only to the abdominal fold ; submarginal baud as 
above, but the inner edges of the spots are rounded and bordered with blackish ; between 
these bands is a series of conspicuous short longitudinal black dashes, the lower ones edged 
externally with white ; a fairly broad blackish baud on outer margin, preceded by an 
interrupted white one.

The bauds on upper siuface are very like those of A. sul])itia, but the
