of transverse discal spots, a marginal and submarginal row of lunulas ; hind wing with 
markings the same, and with an additional subbasal row of three similar spots. Palpi 
and body beneath and legs white. 
" Expanse ^^ths of an inch." (Moore, I. c.) 
Var. tMbetensis, Poujade. — " Envergure 29 millim. Mdle : dessus brun avec la base des ailes 
sablee de bleu d'outremer brillant jusqu'au-dela des deux tiers aux superieures, et sur la 
presque totalite des inferieures. 
" Femelle. Serablable, sauf la base des ailes qui est a peine saupoudree de bleu. 
" Dessous brun clair marque comme chez L. marginata ; les taches discoidales et les points sont 
noirs et a peine ocelles ; ces derniers son plus gros chez la femelle. 
" Tin male et une femelle." {Poujade, I. c.) 
The type of var. tMbetensis was from Moupin, Western China, and I have 
received examples from the same locality. The specimens are larger than 
typical sangra, and the black markings on the under surface are more strongly 
defined. My collectors do not appear to have met with it any other part of 
China. There were some specimens from Loochoo in Fryer's collection, and 
these agree fairly well with Sikkim examples of Z. sangra. 
In his remarks on this species de Niceville {I. c.) says that it varies much 
in size in different localities, and adds : " I have four definite uniform sizes 
taken in four different parts of India ; some are slightly paler than others, 
but otherwise all are identical." 
Mr. Elwes (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1881, p. 888) records Z. (L.) lysimon from 
Shanghai, and states that Dr. Staudinger had specimens in his collection 
from Amoy, Foochow, and Macao. Subsequently, in his remarks on Z. sangra 
from Sikkim, Mr. Elwes appears inclined to consider it synonymous with 
Z. lysimon, Hiibner, but states that his specimens of sangra from Sumatra, 
the Andamans, Calcutta, Buxa, and Sikkim seem to be of a paler blue above 
with a narrower black border than his specimen of lysimon from Andalusia, 
Algeria, and the Canary Islands. 
I think that the specimens of Zizera from Shanghai referred by Mr. Elwes 
to lysimon are probably sangra, which has been recorded from various places 
in China and also from Formosa and the Loochoo Islands. There are some 
specimens in Moller's collection which were identified by Mr. de Niceville 
as Z. lysimon, but cimously there are no specimens of Z. sangra in that 
collection. 
Distribution. India, China, Formosa, Loochoo, Malacca, and Penang.
