Lycmia 7iebulosa, Leech, Eutomologist, xxiii. p. 43 (1890). 
Male. Lilac-blue, suffused with fuscous. Primaries have some pale blue scales along the costa, 
and a distinct black disooidal spot ; the outer margin is broadly bordered with black, and the 
central series of spots of the under surface are faiutl}' indicated. Secondaries have all the 
margins broadlj' bordered ■nith black. Fringes white. Under surface pale greyish white ; 
linear discoidal spot and central series of spots on primaries black ; submarginal series of 
dark grey lunules, followed by a series of blackish linear spots on the outer margin : secon- 
daries have a basal series of three, and a central series of eight, black spots : discoidal spot is 
linear and very narrow, the markings beyoud are similar to those on primaries, but the spots 
on the margin in the median interspaces are round and larger ; fringes white, streaked with 
grey, and preceded by a thin blackish line. 
Expanse 36 millim. 
Female. Primaries blackish ; the central area is blue, suffused with blackish. Secondaries blackish, 
streaked with blue between the nervules ; there is a submarginal series of black-centred blue 
spots. 
Expanse, S 38 millim. , 5 34 miUim. 
Since describing the male type of tliis species, Avbicli was from Chang-yang, 
Central China, I have received an example of each sex from ChoAA^-pin-sa, 
Western China; the male differs from the type in having narrower black 
borders on primaries, and except a broad streak on the costal area there is no 
black on secondaries. The under surface is rather greyer than that of the 
type in both of these specimens from "Western China, and the spots are much 
less distinct.
