costal, le point noir collulaire, line ombre iioiratre intranervurale et la partie saillante de 
Tapes qui rcste blanche. La femelle a en outre un lavis orange pale sur I'aile infdrieure en 
dessus. L'aile infe'rieure en dessoua est ornee de petites taohcs formees d'atomes bruns 
converts d'un lavis d'un jaune un peu orange. Ces taches brunes sent interrompues au dela 
de la cellule discoidale par une eolaircie toute blanche, parallele au bord exterieur ; le long du 
bord exterieur, les taolies reparaissent sous forme d'une sorto de feston dont les dents corres- 
pondent aux nervures et la partie concave aux espaces intranervuraux. La frange est blanche, 
longue et soyeuse.'' 
Male. Primaries are blackish at the base and have a broad subapical orange patch bordered 
inwardly by the large black spot which closes the discoidal cell, and a diffused blackish streak 
running from the spot towards outer margin ; the apex is produced, and this portion of the 
wing is often more or less sprinkled with dark greyish scales, especially along the course of 
the nervules ; the median nervules are blackish towards outer margin, the third often through- 
out its length. Secondaries white, sometimes tinged with yellowish, blackish at base and 
along the nervures ; the pattern of the under surface shows through faintly. Under surface 
white : primaries have the orange subapical patch black and discoidal spot fainter than above : 
secondaries have the veins marked out with yellow and are traversed by irregular greenish 
bands ; on the outer margin the nervules are bordered on each side with greeuish. 
Female has no orange subapical patch, but is otherwise similar to the male ; the space, however, 
between second and third nervules is sometimes filled up with blackish scales. 
Expanse 48-52 millim. 
This species was discovered by Mgr. Biet in the neighbourhood of Ta- 
chien-lu, and my collectors obtained large numbers of both sexes there in May 
and June. They did not, however, meet with it in any other locality. 
Alpheraky records specimens from North-eastern Thibet and Grum- 
Grshimailo captured examples in Amdo.
