colour is greyish brown, and the submarginal line is black, narrow, and 
serrated. 
I took some specimens of a species of Safsnma at Gensan in the Corca, 
but unfortunately these have been destroyed, and I am therefore unable to 
say whether they were S. ferrea or S. frivaldszhji, but I think that they were 
]irobably the latter. 
This species is common in Yokohama in March, according to Tryer, and I 
met with it throughout Japan. 
Satsuma circe, sp. nov. (Plate XXX. fig. 12, 6 .) 
Male. Blackigh ; basal area of primaries sometimes sparingly sprinkled with bluish scales ; the 
anal lobe of secondaries is tinged with brownish and strongly developed. Fringes whitish, 
intersected by the black nervules. Sexual mark as in S.ferren. 
F, male. Similar to the male, but there is more blue on the basal area of primaries. Under surface 
of both sexes pale reddish or ochreous brown ; basal area and outer margin of secondaries 
darker, the former limited by a dark brown deeply indented line and traversed by an oblique 
dull purplish band, the latter preceded by a series of dark brown lunules ; the primaries have 
a dark brown transverse line beyond the centre of the wing, but this does not quite attain 
the inner margin. 
Expanse, d 30 millim., $ 32 millim. 
I received a long series of this species from Ta-chien-lu, Western China, 
where it occurs in May and June at a considerable elevation. 
In the character of the " male mark " S. dree agrees with >S. ferrea, but it 
is very different from that species in colour and in the markings of under 
surface. 
Satsuma pratti. (Plate XXX. fig. 10, j .) 
Safsuma 2Jraiti, Leech, Entomologist, xxiii. p. 44 (1890). 
Mah. Fuliginous brown. Primaries have some blue scales below the median nervure, and the 
secondaries have a dull bluish reflection. Under surface of primaries brown, suffused with 
blackish towards the black basal area, an indistinct wavy dark central line bordered with 
white at costa : secondaries black, irrorated with white scales, and a brown cloud towards 
outer angle, the indented central line broadly bordered with white below costa and on inner 
margin ; submarginal band wavy, ill defined, and intersected by a pale wavy line. The 
sexual mark is small, dark, and not well defined. 
Female. Upper surface : discal area of all the wings steely blue, outer margin broadly blackish, as 
also is the costa of primaries. Under surface as in the male. 
Expanse, J 32 millim., 5 32-36 millim. 
Separable from Satsima [Theda) frivaldszhji by the darker colour of all
