gradually increases iu width to its rounded apes, and between it and the anal angle there are 
two shorter tails. Fringes j-ellowish. 
Female. Similar to the male, but the outer margin of primaries is rounder in contour, and aU the 
yellow lines are duller in colour. The crimson band on secondaries is often replaced by a 
pale pinkish one. 
Expanse, S 94-100 millim., 2 98-lt)0 millim. 
Appears to be fairly common iu June and July at Huang-mu-chang, Chia- 
kou-ho, Ta-chien-lu, Wa-ssu-kow, aud Wa-shan in Western China. 
A. thaidina is best distinguished from the Himalayan A. lidderdalii, 
Atkinson, by its smaller size and the greater breadth of the tails ; the lines 
traversing the central area of primaries are straighter, aud the crimson band 
on secondaries is narrower.

Expanse 70 millim. Primaries pale yellow, black at base and external margin, with three trans- 
verse oblique black bands on the disc, and one parallel with outer margin, with which the 
third oblique band is united below the middle ; a black dash from the costa between first and 
second and second and third oblique bands. Secondaries pale yellow, with a broad black band 
along the inner margin, and another, oblique and interrupted, on the disc, beyond which is a 
black costal dash : the outer third black, enclosing five blue spots, aud edged externally with 
some orange patches ; a conspicuous crimson blotch above anal angle. Fringes chequered 
black and white. Under surface as above, but the crimson colour assumes a band-like form, 
traversing the wing parallel with the outer margin from anal angle to secoud subcostal 
nervulo ; the orange on outer margin also forms a complete band. 
This species was erroneously referred to as L. puziloi by Mr. Pryer in his 
catalogue of the ' Lepidoptera of Japan,' and subsequently by myself in my 
paper on the " Lepidoptera of Japan and Corea," P. Z. S. 1887, when I did not
