Pale fulvous, marked with black. Primaries have four spots above the discoidal cell, two in the 
cell and a short streak from the base in the submedian interspace : the inner central macular 
band is sharply indented in first median interspace ; the outer central band is composed of 
five large oblong spots and one minute round one, the latter placed in the second median 
interspace ; submarginal band composed of seven spots, of which the third and sixth are the 
smallest, marginal scries of seven spots placed on the nervules ; there is a black streak along 
the middle of the inner margin. Secondaries have four spots in the discoidal cell and four 
spots along the paler abdominal margin ; the inner central band is twice aiigulated, and the 
outer, comjiosed of seven square spots, curved ; submarginal band of seven spots, the seventh 
double ; marginal series of spots as on primaries. Fringes paler than ground-colour, 
preceded by a black line and chequered with black at the tips of the nervules. Underside of 
primaries rather paler than above, but with the same black markings ; there are some white 
markings on the costa between the central bands and between the outer central and sub- 
marginal bauds, and in some specimens indications of a whitish macular band between the 
two central black ones : of secondaries whitish, with broad pale fulvous border to outer 
margin and a broad dash of same colour from the middle of abdominal margin ; the black 
markings as above, but in addition there are two spots towards base of costa. 
The female has the outer margin of primaries rounder, but does not otherwise differ from 
the male.

Occurs at Kiukiaug, Chaug-vang, and Ichang iu Central China, and at 
Chia-ting-fu in Western China. Bremer's types were from Pekin, and I 
believe that a specimen was taken by Mr. W. B. Fryer iu the Suowy Valley, 
near Xiugpo.
