form of the discoidal streak on primaries is very similar to that of 
L. helmanni. 
This species is not uncommon at Chang-yang in Central China, and occurs 
also at Omei-shan, Moupin, Wa-shau, and Huang-mu-chang in Western 
China. 
Athyma recurva, sp. nov. (Plate XVII. fig. 9, j .) 
Mcde. Deep purplisli black. The -white bands and spots are very similar to those of A. disjuacta, 
but the discoidal markings of primaries are different and compri'se a thin line of -white along 
the lower -wall of discoidal cell and a large triangular -white spot at the end of the cell ; the 
submarginal band of secondaries is nearer the outer margin. Under surface reddish brown ; 
primaries ornamented as above : secondaries have a rather broad, curved, greyish-white 
streak extending from the base of the median norvure to the costal spot of the central band ; 
there is a large black annulated mark in the discoidal cell and some short black streaks above 
it ; the -white submarginal band is narrow and preceded by a series of fuliginous spots, the 
fourth, fifth, and sixth edged internally with whitish ; marginal line -white, tinged -with 
lUaeine ; the edge of the abdominal fold is ashy grey. 
Expanse 70-75 millini. 
Occnrs at Moupin and Wa-shan, Western China, iu June, but appears to 
be very scarce.

Athyma punctata, Leech, Entomologist, xxiii. p. 33 (1890).

submarginal line pale. Under surface rusty bro-wn : primaries have -white spots as above ; a 
violet-grey longitudinal streak from the base, interrupted by the ground-colour before 
reaching the centre of the -wing, -where it terminates, is broadly bordered below and outwardly 
-with blackish ; there are indications of a violet-grej' submarginal line : secondaries white 
along the costa, central -white fascia extends from costa to the bluish-grey abdominal fold ; 
submarginal band -whitish, tinged -with violet and bordered out-wardly -with a dark brownish 
shade. 
Expanse 68 millim. 
Two male specimens taken in May and July at Chang-yang.
