AEEOMACHirS.— HALPE. 621 
Seven specimeHs, iuoluding two examples of the female, taken at Ichang 
in June. One of the females has the. number of spots in the submarginal 
series on underside of primaries increased to six by the addition of one to 
the costal set. 
I also received specimens of this species from a native collector at Ningpo, 
in 1886. 
Genus HALPE.

" Allied to Pamphila (P. syhanus). Antennfc with a more slender club and longer hook at tip. 
Fore wing shorter ; exterior margin more convex ; the discal oblique series of raised scales 
in male shorter and broader. Head and thorax smaller; abdomen slender. Yeins similar, 
the lower median branch being nearer end of the cell." {Moore, I. e.) 
" Type beiuria, Hew. 
" Antennae : club moderate, elongate, with a short apical crook, tip acuminate. Palpi porrect ; 
third joint minute, obtusely conical. Pore wing : inner margin longer than outer margin ; 
cell of fore wing less than two thirds the length of costa ; vein 12 reaching costa before the 
end of ceU ; upper discocellular about twice the length of lower ; vein 5 considerably nearer 
to 4 than to 6 ; vein 3 well before end of cell, about equidistant from 2 and from 4 ; vein 2 
nearer to end of cell than to base of wing. Hind wing evenly rounded ; cell very short ; 
vein 7 well before end of cell, at its origin vein 7 is sharply bent upwards, and the upper 
margin of the cell is bent downwards so that the angle is shaped like a tuning-fork ; disco- 
ceUulars faint ; vein 5 not traceable ; vein 3 from end of cell ; vein 2 verj' much nearer 
to end of cell than to base of wing ; lower margin of cell slightly angled at vein 2. The 
above is the neuration of the male ; in the female vein 3 of the fore wing is slightly nearer to 
end of cell, and on the hind wing vein 7 arises at an acute angle with the upper margin of 
cell. Hind tibiEe slightly fringed and with two pairs of spurs. In most species the male is 
provided with a linear discal stigma on the fore wing, running obliquely from the origin 
of vein 3 almost to the inner margin. In those species in which there is no discal stigma, 
the neuration of both wings of the male agrees with that of the female. 
" Confined to Southern Asia and Japan." (Watson, I. c.)
