PADEAONA. 599 
A fine series from Chang-yaDg and Ichang, Central China, taken in June 
a nd July. I have also received specimens from Moupin in Western China, 
and I took examples of each sex at Foochau in April 1886. Kricheldorff 
informs me that this insect is fond of settling in damp places on paths. 
The type specimen is rather paler on the under surface than the example 
figured, which represents the usual form of the species. 
Padraona maga. (Plate XL. fig. is, j .) 
Pamphila maga, Leech, Entomologist, xxiii. p. 48 (1890). 
Male. Superficially resembles P. virgatn, but the thorax is much stouter, and the primaries are 
without the yellow costal streak of that species, there are two yellow spots in discoidal cell, 
the lower of which is oblong and much the larger; beyond are six other yellow spots 
forming a transverse series, three of those are close together near the costa, one in each 
median interspace, and one near the submedian nervure. Secondaries have one spot iu each 
median interspace. Under surface of primaries blackish : costa and upper portion of outer 
margin broadly suffused with yellow ; the yellow spots of the upper surface are, with tho 
exception of the sixth, reproduced, the second to fourth each followed by a black spot, and 
there is a submarginal series of indistinct black spots between apex and first median nervule ; 
a projection from the yellow marginal border passes between the costal and central spots. 
Expanse 32 miUim. 
One male example taken at Ichang in June, and I captured two specimens 
of the same sex at Ningpo in April, 1886. 
Padraona trimacula. (Plate XL. fig. 17, c^ .) 
Taractrocera trimacula, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 60 (1891). 
JSlale. Fuliginous ; the primaries with three large yellow spots, one in the cell and two beyond, and 
a short yellow dash along the subcostal nervure ; the secondaries have a yellow central spot. 
Fringes of all the veins yellow, narrowly chequered with black at the ends of the veins. On 
the under surface the markings are much as above, but the streak on subcostal nervure 
extends from base to the upper yellow spot, and there is a yellow subapical dash ; the 
secondaries are yellow, with a large black spot about middle of costa, and some blackish 
markings on the centre of the wing, and along the abdominal and outer margins. Expanse 
30 millim. 
One male specimen from Wa-ssu-kow captured in June. 
This and the two previous species are only placed provisionally iu 
Padraona. Probably it may be found necessary to erect one or more new 
genera for their reception.
