628 HESPEEIID^. 
"Expanse, dig, $ 1| inch. 
" Larva pale green, white-speckled ; head black-bordered. Feeds on Zinziheraceo!. Pupa pale 
green." {Moore, Lep. Ceyl.) 
Occurs in Western China at Omei-shan and Moupin in July. 
The Chinese specimens are always larger than typical examples ; the fascia 
is broader and straighter, and they have weU-defined submarginal spots. 
This form may be known as var. rectifascia (Plate XXXVIII. fig. 2, S ). 
N. feisthameli {alysos) can be at once distinguished from the two 
preceding species by the dull whitish patch on the under surface of primaries 
which connects the white fascia with the costa. 
Elwes (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1888, p. 461) places N. paralysos, Wood- 
Mason & de NicevUle, as a synonym of this species, which he states is 
common in Sikkim, up to 4000 or 5000 feet, from March to December. 
Distribution. Continental India, Ceylon, Andaman Islands, Malay Penin- 
sula, ]\Ialacca, Java, and China.

" Cette espece a la bande des superieures courte, ramasse'e en une tache carree, compacte ; la tache 
mediane, en triangle etroit, depasse exterieurement les autres. Entre la cote et I'extremite 
de la bande blanche, il y a deux taches jaunatres, plus visibles en dessous." (Mabille, I. c.) 
I am indebted to M. Mabille for the loan of the type (the only example 
known) of this species, which is figured in this work. It is a very bad speci- 
men, and when fresh the insect was probably very much darker in colour. 
It seems nearest allied to K {Plesioneura) nigricans, de Niceville *, from 
Sikkim. 
Habitat. Japan.
