Pamphila pulchra. (Plate XL. fig. 20, j .) 
Famphila pulchra, Leech, Entomologist, xxxiv., Suppl. p. 59 (June 1891). 
Carterocephalus ops, Grum-Grshimailo, Horae Soc. Ent. Ross. xsv. p. 4G0 (1891). 
Male. Fuscous. Primaries have some yellowish scales on the basal and outer marginal areas, and 
are traveraed by two pale yellow macular bands; the initial spot of outer band is somewhat 
lunular, and is placed inwards on the costa. The secondaries have three pale yellow spots 
on the central area, but the first of these lies towards outer angle ; there is a smaller yellow 
spot towards the base of the wing, and some indications of a pale yellow submarginal band. 
The under surface is brownish ; primaries have the bands as above, but the space between 
them is clouded with blackish, and the basal h;ilf of the wing is washed with pale ochreous ; 
secondaries are suffused with pale ochreous along the costal area, and have a silvery longi- 
tudinal central streak, which is interrupted about the middle, and its outer portion expands 
into an irregular-shaped blotch ; there is a round silvery spot above the blotch, another 
below it, and a short club-shaped streak before the abdominal margin ; a conspicuous fuscous 
spot lies above the central streak, and there are three or four silvery spots towards anal 
angle, representing a submarginal band ; marginal hue silvery grey. Fringes of primaries 
fuscous, faintly chequered with grey-brown, aud preceded by a black line ; those of the 
secondaries are grey-brown, paler towards extremities. 
Expanse 29 millim. 
lu the ornamentatiou of the under surface of secondaries this species is 
something like Pamphila avanti, de Niceville (Journ. Asiat. Soc. Beng. Iv. 
p. 255, pl. xi. fig. 10), but in other respects it is very diff"erent, and quite 
unlike any other species with which I am acquainted. 
Occurs in June and July at Ta-chien-lu and Wa-ssu-kow, Western China, 
and M. Grum-Grshimailo records it from the Tetung Mountains under tlie 
name Carterocephalus ops. 
Pamphila houangty. 
Carterocephalus houangty, Oberthur, Etud. d'Eiitom. xi. p. 27, pl. v. fig. 5 (1886). 
" Espcce voisine du sylvius, mais d'un jaune plus foncd en dessus. Les taches noires sont plus 
epaisses ; elles ont eependant a peu pres la meme disposition que dans si/lvius. Les earac- 
teres differentiels saillants se trouvent principalement aux ailes inferieures en dessous. 
" J'ai fait representer un male. La femelle diifere du male de la meme facon que chez st/lvius." 
(OhertJdir, I. c.) 
Appears to be a common species in Western China at Ta-chien-lu, Wa-ssu- 
kow, Ni-tou, Che-tou, and How-kow. 
The males are always more abundant than the females.
