parallel rows of black spots, those composing the inner row being much larger than the 
external ones ; the spots of the central row are large and black, placed somewhat irregularly ; 
internal to this are a large discoidal and two basal spots. Hind wings with a ciliary row of 
black spots as in the fore wings ; internal to this are two parallel rows of largo black spots 
enclosing a light orange band ; the central row is conspicuous, and internal to it are a 
discoidal and six basal spots. 
" Larva. Bluish green, with a violet dorsal line ; it feeds on Sedum teJqJii((m and perhaps 
other species of Sediim." {Lang, I. c.) 
I took this sjiecies at Geusan, Corea, in July. Dr. Fixsen (/. c), wlio also 
records L. orion from Corea, states that the specimens are very fine and 
agree with Amurland examples. Mr. Elwes (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1881, 
p. 889) says that it is found at Pekin, 
According to Dr. Lang [l. c.) this butterfly frequents rocky or stony places 
in Central Europe, Asia Minor, Armenia, the Soutli of Siberia, and the Amur.

" Espece voisine de Tiylas (baton), lathis, havivs ; mais bien distincte par sa taille plus grandc, 
la conleur bleu celeste des ailcs dans le o et la ligne de points noirs, marginaux, intrancr- 
Turaux qui longe le bord exterieur des ailes. Le dessous ressemble beaucoup a batiiis. 
La 2 differe du <S parce que le fond des ailes est noir avec la base des quatre ailes et lo 
bord externe des ailes inferieures saupoudre de bleu." (OberfJiiir, I. e.) 
Belongs to that group of the genus Lyeana which includes L. hyJas (baton), L. orion, and 
L. bavius ; but distinguished from either of those species by its larger size, the sky-blue 
colour of tlie male, and the marginal series of black spots. On the under surface L. hinty 
is very similar to L. battus. The female differs from the male in having the ground-colour 
black, sprinkled with blue at the liase of all the wings. 
Expanse, c? 35-37 millim., $ 37 millim. 
Alpheraky records a male specimen of this species from Ndami, Amdo, 
which he states differs from Oberthiir's figure in having stronger black spots 
on both surfaces. M. Grum-Grshimailo has sent me specimens Avhich were 
taken in the Nian-chan Mountains, Thibet. 
Occurs at Ta-chien-lu in May and June at an elevation of 8500 feet, and 
also at Wa-ssu-kou. At the latter place it appears to be less common than 
at Ta-chien-lu and is found at 5000 feet.
