inner angle : those of the secondaries white, with some darker scales at the extremities of 
the nervules, giving a slight chequered appearance. Under surface pale grey. Primaries 
with an elongated discoidal and a central series of six black spots; the last is linear, and all 
arc surrounded with whitish. On the outer margin is a series of black marks more or less 
V-like in shape; these are bordered on each side with whitish, and precede a black line 
interrupted by the nervules. Secondaries : three basal spots, that on the anterior margin 
being large and somewhat triangular in shape, whilst the third is dot-like, and situated 
on the extreme edge of abdominal fold ; an elongated discoidal and a central series of 
seven spots, the initial one being large and almost round, third and sixth oval — these, as 
also one between the discoidal and first spot of the central series, are black. A submarginal 
series of y-shaped black marks, a row of marks, chiefly small and linear, but including 
one large round spot, edged internally with orange, between the submedian nervure and 
first median nervule. Fringes grey, with a black line at their base. 
Female. Same as male in colour and arrangement of markings, but the spots on under surface are 
larger, especially those of central series on secondaries. 
Expanse 29 millim. 
Though not closely allied to any known s^^ecies, this insect has a super- 
ficial resemblance to Everes {Lyccena) fischeri, Eversmann, but the absence 
of any caudal appendage at once separates it from that species. The 
arrangement of spots on under surface is also very different. From Taraka 
{Miletus) hamada, Druce, which it agrees with on the upper surface, it may 
be distinguished by the very different maculation of the under surface and 
the less chequered fringes. 
The spots on the under surface vary in size and shape. In one specimen 
from Kiukiang the spot between the discoidal and first spot of central 
series is only present on the right secondary. 
Occurs in Central China at Kiukiang, fr-om whence the types were 
received, and more commonly at Chang-yang in June and July. This species 
has so far not been received from Western China.
