" Wings much broader than in P. sinensis, Mabille, and the hind wing is not lobed as in that 
species." {Alooi-e, I. c.) 
I have received this species from Kiukiang, and also fr'om Niugpo, occuning 
in April in the latter place. There are specimens fr-om Shanghai and Nan- 
kow in the National Collection.

Oeyenes sinensis, MabiUe. — " Male tres-grand (44 mill. Femelle 46-48 mill.), d'un brun obscur, 
avec la disque lave de roux ; sur les premieres ailes, deux taehes oblongues dans la cellule, 
trois petites et carrees devant I'apex, et trois autres plus grosses en avant do la cellule, faisant 
suite aux trois precedentes et formant avec elles una ligne courbe, puis oblique. Un fort 
trait gris jaunatre ombre de noir en dessus part de la derniere des taohes et va s'arreter sur 
la simple inferieure. An lieu de ce trait, la femelle a une tache de plus jaunatre ; toutes les 
autres sont blanchatres et semi-transparentes. Inferieures ayaut une ligne de quatre points 
semblables, tres petits en face de la cellule et pres du bord exterue. Le dessous des superieures 
a le meme dessiu, mais il est seme d'ecailles jaunatres. Celui des inferieures est d'un brun 
verdatre avec les quatre points du dessus et uu de plus an milieu de la cellule ; la tete et la 
poitrine sont jaunatre clair ; les palpes sont jaunos en dessous. 
" De la Chine septentrionale." {Mahille, I. c.) 
" Male and female. Upperside dark olive-brown, basal area brighter olive. Male — fore wing with 
eight rather large ijuadrate yellowish semidiaphanous spots, three being disposed before the 
apex, three discal, and two very obliquely at end of the cell ; a prominent narrow oblique 
yeUow brand or streak below the cell, which in the female is replaced by two spots, the upper 
one of which is very small : hind wing with four yellow semidiaphanous contiguous spots. 
Underside paler ; spots on fore wing as above, the brand showing a.s a diflfused yellow patch 
from its outer edge ; the series of spots on hind wing more prominently white, with a fifth

I have now a fine series of the species which I described as " Pamphila 
similis," and find that the example from Chang-yang, which I eiToueously 
considered to be a female, is really a male. I also find that the specimens 
are referable to sinensis, Mabille, of which j^^'ominens, Moore, is also a 
synonym. 
Sikkim specimens agree with those from China : in the latter the spots on
