AUGIADES. 605 
Augiades Similis, sp. nov. (Plate XLI. fig. 6, cT.) 
Male. Blackish, suffused with fulvous on the basal area of all the wings, but especially on 
primaries; sexual brand similar to that of A. si/lvanoides. Primaries have the following 
fulvous markings : — a streak in the disooidal cell, uniting at its outer extremity with 
an oblong spot ; beyond the cell there is a series of eight spots, the fourth and fifth small 
and round, forming a colon-like mark between three elongate subapical spots, and three 
quadrate ones forming an inwardly oblique series to inner margin ; the last of these eight 
spots is sometimes divided. Secondaries have a central band of five fulvous spots, the second 
and third hardly separate. Fringes fuscous grey, paler towards anal angle. 
Female. Similar to the male, but the streak in discoidal cell is linear, sometimes interrupted, and 
there are sometimes two extra spots, a triangular one in the first median fork and a round 
one below it on submedian nervure. 
Under surface in both sexes as in A. si/lvanoides, but generally darker, and the spots on secondaries 
are more distinct. 
Expanse 34 millim. 
Occurs in Western China at Ta-chien-lu, Moupin, and Wa-shan in June 
and July. 
Apart from the different markings this species may be distinguislied from 
A. sylvanoides by the more acute apex of primaries and distinctly produced 
anal angle of secondaries.

Var. rikuchina, Butler. " Deep purplish brown, the basal area of the wings clothed with tawny 
scales ; fringes oehreoiis, especially at the anal angle ; primaries with two ochreous spots at 
the end of the cell (the upper one punctiform) ; a rather broad irregular angulated discal 
ochreous belt, not reaching the inner margin, and divided into nine spots by the veins, which 
are black ; secondaries with an arched series of five ochreous spots on the disc ; body 
olivaceous, abdomen clothed with ochraceous hair-scales ; palpi pale greenish yellow ; wings 
below paler than above, more broadly and densely sprinkled with ochraceous scales ; the 
Beoondaries with the abdominal area, particularly at anal angle, broadly ochraceous ; body 
below greenish grey. 
" Expanse of wings 1 inch 4 lines. Occurs at ' Kikuchin.' " (Butler, I. c.)
