{Ponjade, I. c.) 
As my specimens from China are larger and of a form differing from the 
type as figm-ed by Oberthiir in several characters, I describe them as 
Var. oreas, var. nov. (Plate XXVI. fig. 0, S .) Male. AH the fulvous marking.s are narrower and 
some of them yellowish ; there is an interrupted blue submargiiial line on secondaries. The 
colouring of the under surface is for more vivid ; there is a lilacine patch enclosing throe 
wbito dots towards apex of primaries, and a similar patch enclosing one white dot in the 
first median interspace ; a lilacine submarginal line on the secondaries outwardly bordered 
with black, and a similar line faintly indicated on primaries. Expanse 52 millim. 
This form occurs at Wa-ssu-kow, Chow-pin-sa, and Pu-tsu-fong. I received 
a number of specimens, but they are all males.

" Antennae rather long, beneath scarcely annulated, terminating gradually in a rather narrow club. 
Palpi as in section hedonia of Precis, but a little shorter and si outer. Wings with the dis- 
discoidal cells slenderly closed. Fore wing with the discal geniculum (? bend in the lower 
discocellular nervule) greater than in P. hedonia and its allies, with the second subcostal 
nervule a little more distant from the end of the cell, the third given off in the middle of the 
wing. Hind wing with the discoidal nervule more distant from the lower subcostal nervule 
than in Precis. General appearance scarcely difi'erent from Ergolis." {de jyiceville, I. c.)
