SATARUPA.— DAIMIO. 563 
pellucidis : 1 cellulsc mcdiip, 9 in serie curva transversa (5 minoribus apiccm versus, 4 in- 
ferioribus quadrangulis pone medium) depositis ; al. postcrioribus fascia media lata nivea, 
subtus in basim virescenti-pilosulam effusa." {Speyer, I. c.) 
This species greatly resembles Satarupa gopala, Moore, but it is larger 
and may be distinguished by the following characters : — Primaries : the spot 
at end of the discoidal cell is rather quadrate than triangular, and the three 
subapical spots nearest costa are elongate, of almost uniform Avidth, and 
contiguous. Secondaries : the outer third is black, intersected by a trans- 
verse, curved, iU-detined, pale line, the portion within this line is more or 
less broken up into oblong spots ; the white portion of the fringes is very 
narrowly interrupted with black at extremities of the nerAules. 
Occurs at moderate elevations in June and July at Omei-shan, Moupin, and 
Kwei-chow, Western China, and at Chang-yang and Kiukiang, Central China, 
and also in Northern China. Christoph met with the species at Vladivostock, 
whence Speyer received the type, and Dorries at Suifun, Amurland. 
Genus DAIMIO.

" Antennae costse medium superantes, gracillima?, clava fusiformi, hamata. Palpi sat breves, 
squamosi, articulo ultimo distincto. 
"I have very briefly characterized this genus, which only contains, at 
present, a single species, D. tethys. Men. Hitherto this insect has been 
associated doubtfully with Pyrgus (sect. Erynnis) or with Nisoniades, but it 
diflfers considerably from both in structure. The antennae are long and very 
slender, and terminate in a gradually formed hooked fusiform club. They 
are provided with a tuft of hair at the base. The palpi have the second 
joint covered beneath with squamous scales, whilst the terminal joint is 
scantily clothed with short hairs. The fore wings of the male appear to be 
destitute of the costal fold found both in Pyrgus and Nisoniades." 
{Murray, I. c.) 
"Antennae: club moderate, terminal crook bent at about right angles. Palpi porrect ; third 
joint short, obtusely conical. Foro wing : outer margin slightly oblique ; inner margin 
longer than outer margin ; cell less than two thirds the length of costa ; vein 12 reaching 
costa before the end of cell ; discoceUulars suberect ; vein 3 close to end of cell, more than 
twice as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 twice as far from end of cell as from base of wing.
