342 LTC.EXID.E. 
Appears to be a very scarce species. I have one male specimen taken by 
a native collector at Chang-yang at an elevation of 6000 feet, and a female 
example from Kiukiang, where it was captured in May. There are specimens 
in the National Collection taken by Maries, and Mr. W. B. Fryer records the 
species from the Snowy Valley, Xingpo.

" Wings broad. 
'■^ Fore wing: costa nearly straight, moderately arched or strongly arched, often distinctly 
■waved towards the apex between the terminations of the nervules ; apes acute, the 
aeuteness varying in intensity ; outer margin sometimes straight, sometimes regularly 
convex, sometimes strongly convex, sometimes slightly concave below the apex, then 
strongly convex ; inner margin slightly emarginate in the middle ; costal nervure short, 
but varying slightly in length, never reaching to opposite the apex of the discoidal cell ; 
first and second subcostal and upper discoidal nervules with their bases about equidistant ; 
third subcostal nervule rather short, arising nearer to the apex of the wing than to the 
apex of the cell, varying in length ; middle discocellular nervule given off some little 
distance beyond the origin of the upper discoidal, very short, straight, outwardly oblique 
(in some species the middle discocellular appears almost to form the base of the lower 
discoidal nervule, being nearly as thick as that vein ; in other species the middle disco- 
cellular is but little thicker than the lower, in others again both are equally thin) ; lower 
discocellular nervule four times as long as the middle discocellular, straight, slightly 
inwardly oblique ; second median nervule giveu off some little distance before the lower 
end of the cell ; first median nervule curved, bowed downwards soon after its origin, the 
median nervule angled upwards beyond the point -where the first median nervule is given 
off; submedian nervure straight. 
" Hind tving sometimes entire, sometimes waved, sometimes furnished with a short tail at the 
termination of the first median nervule, sometimes this tail considerably longer, sometimes 
there is an additional very short tooth or tail at the termination of the second median 
nervule, sometimes still a third tail, but very short, at the termination of the submedian 
nervure ; anal angle sometimes rounded, sometimes acute, sometimes distinctly lobed ; 
abdominal margin sometimes straight, sometimes convex to the termination of the internal 
nervure, then slightly emarginate ; costa sometimes regularly arched, sometimes bowed at 
base, then quite straight, sometimes the outer margin is anteriorly produced at the apex, 
thus causing the costa to be sinuate; costal nervure sometimes nearly straight, sometimes 
considerably bowed, sometimes lying quite close to the margin, sometimes well removed 
from it ; first subcostal nervule arched, given off some little distance before the apex of 
the cell ; upper discocellular nervule shorter than the lower, slightly concave, slightly
