bounded by a small black spot ; a broad orange patch, in continuation of the diseal spots, at 
anal angle, its inner edge bounded by two slender black liturfc ; a large submarginal black 
Bpot on the inner half of the orange patch, which is bounded by the first median interspace 
and two black marginal spots in the angles of the outer half, upon interno-median inter- 
space: these two spots are connected by a silvery-blue line; all the wings, with a black 
marginal line; fringes snow-white, spotted with black. Body below snow-white; legs 
banded with black. Expanse of wings 1 inch 9 lines.

This appears to be a very rare species, and has only been observed in 
Japan. 
The specimen from Nikko referred to by Fryer {I. c.) is now in my 
possession. It is of the same sex as the type, but differs from the figure in 
' Aid ' in its narrower wings, and in having a pale brownish shade on disc of 
primaries ; the tails of secondaries are shorter and broader, and the under 
surface is not so green. 
Zephyrus stygiana. 
Thecla stygiana, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) vii. p. 35, pi. iv. fig. 6 (1881). 
« Above smoky brown, without markings. Wings below greyish brown, with an indistinct esterno- 
discal series of blackish spots bounded outwardly with yellowish; primaries with. an 
indistinctly whitish-bordered black spot at external angle ; secondaries with a very indistinct 
submarginal series of dusky spots : a patch of orange at external angle, enclosing a black 
spot above the tail, which is also black ; aual angle black ; pectiis bluish x^hite ; venter 
sulphur-yellow.

This seems to be a very rare species. Fryer does not refer to it in his 
' Rhopalocera Nihonica,' and so far as I am aware there is but one specimen 
known ; this is the type in the National Collection at South Kensington.

" Above dark brown, disc of primaries lighter ; secondaries with one long tail, white at its apex ; 
beneath white ; primaries with seventeen conspicuous black spots, arranged thus — two near 
the base, the upper one large, one at the end of cell, three in an oblique row on the costal 
beyond the middle, and an irregular transverse row of five, followed by a submarginal 
' of six ; apical margin rather broadly brown ; secondaries with three spots in a row at the 
base, a small one in the cell, an elongate one at its end, a similar-shaped one between it and 
the anal angle, three along the abdominal margin, a curved transverse row of six beyond the 
middle, and a submarginal row of five, those at the base and near the costal margin black,
