district, states that it is siugle-broocled. I am inclined to think that there are 
probably two generations of the species in China and some parts of Japan.

yiale. Black with fulvous markings, very similar to those of A. burejana ; the central interrupted 
band of primaries and the entire one of secondaries broad and yellowish in colour. 
Female. Similar to the male, but all the fulvous markings are broader, and those on the outer por- 
tion of primaries often confluent. 
On the under surface both sexes agree in many respects with A. fallax, but the central band 
of primaries is less regular, and that of the secondaries is traversed by a blackish interrupted 
line ; the chocolate baud is much narrower, and composed of five spots on each wing : 
those on primaries are of irregular shape, the second has a minute whitish dot in its centre, 
the third smaller than the others and almost effaced by a whitish spot, the fourth encloses a 
small whitish spot, and there is a similar spot on the inner edge of the fifth ; those on secon- 
daries are ovate with dark centres ; the second and fourth are pupilled with whitish and the 
third with lilacine. 
Expanse, c? 50-55 millim., 2 45-58 millim. 
Occurs in June and July at Chang-yang and Ichang in Central China, and 
at Moupin, Omei-shan, Wa-ssu-kow, and Pu-tsu-fong in Western China.

A. fallax differs from all forms of ^. levana in the rounder outline of the 
secondaries, in which character it agrees with A. prorsoidea, Blanchard. The 
central band of secondaries, which may be either pure white or deep yellow
