" A tolerably common species ; its position is between B. tethys and D. sinica of Felder ; it appears 
to represent the latter in Japan, and differs from it in the smaller spots on the primaries, and 
in the black spots being visible upon the white belt of the secondaries." (Butler, I. c.) 
This species varies considerably in size and in the shape, size, and pattern 
of the subhyaline spots on primaries, especially the subapical ones ; the width 
of the white band on secondaries is also a variable character, and the base of 
under sui-face of secondaries is sometimes bluish grey, sometimes fuliginous 
grey, and sometimes hardly different in colour to the general area. 
The type of Butler's felderi, which is certainly only a form of sinica, is 
said to have been taken by Maries at Nikko, but it is more probable that he 
obtained the specimen at Kiukiang. as no other collector has recorded any 
form oi sinica from Japan, where it seems to be replaced by tethjs. 
I found sinica plentiful at Foochau and Ningpo in April, and it appears to 
have been common at moderate elevations in most of the localities in China 
visited by my collectors. Mabille's type of moorei was taken at Moupin. 
Alpheraky records the species from Hou-tchi, N.E. Thibet.

" Upperside purpurascent violet-brown : fore wing with three small upper and two lower sub- 
apical semidiaphanous white spots, a small erect oval spot at lower end of the cell, a slightly 
larger quadrate .spot on the disc between upper and middle medians, and a broad band fonned 
of three quadrate spots increasing in width from end of cell to posterior margin ; hind "wing

Var. diversa, Leech. (Plate XXXYIII. fig. 14, (S ■) Brownish black; primaries have three 
subhyaline spots on the disc, and five very small ones towards apex, the central spots form a 
triangle, a lunar or linear one at end of discoidal cell, one rather larger and more quadrate 
beyond, and a still larger one below, of the outer five the second is punctiform and placed 
inwards, the fourth rather outwards, and the remaining two are directly under the first ; a 
white spot in the submedian interspace under the larger subhyaline one. Secondaries have a 
broad white central band terminating on the inner margin opposite a white band on the 
abdomen, and there are some black spots on its upper external edge. Fringes of primaries 
black, spotted with white above inner angle ; of secondaries white, tinged with grey, becoming 
darker towards outer angle, and with a slender blackish line at their base preceded by some
