brown, suffused with fuliginous over tlie disoal area, upper half of outer margins bordered 
with grejish, white dash as above ; secondaries brown, inner half thickly sprinkled with 
greyish scales, and traversed by two obscure darker bands. Fringes dark grey, both above 
and beneath.

The white spots formiug the costal dash vary iu number from three to one ; 
in some specimens, where three are present, they are very faint ; and in others 
all the spots are entirely absent from both surfaces. 
Common in the neighbourhood of Chang-yang and Ichang, Central China, 
and I have received the species from Chia-ting-fu, Western China. I took 
specimens at Foochau in April. 
I find that my Cyclopides chinensis is identical with Astictoptenis oliimscens, 
Moore, an insect I was not acquainted with at the time that I drew up my 
description. It differs from the type of olivascens in being smaller and in 
having a well-defined fascia on under surface of secondaries ; in Holler's 
collection there are, however, specimens in the series of olivascens from Sikkim 
which cannot be separated from my Chinese examples. Steropes nuhilus, 
Mabille, is also referable to olivascens. 
The example figured (Plate XLII. fig. 1, d ) is a uuicolorous form fr"om 
Ichang, where it seems to occur in about equal numbers with the type. 
The Indian localities are Salween, Moulmein, DarjUing {Moore). Mr. de 
Niceville records one female from Tavoy, on the identification of Mr. Moore, 
and states that it is rare in the neighbourhood of Calcutta, where it occurs 
amongst grass in shade. He also mentions three males and two females 
from the forest near SUcuri, Cachar, 11th to 29th July. 
Genus APOSTICTOPTERUS, gen. nov. 
Length of primaries rather more than twice their greatest width ; the apex is obtuse ; outer 
margin siightly rounded to third median nervule and from thence oblique ; middle of inner 
margin slightly concave. Secondaries rounded ; outer margin slightly concave before the 
obtuse anal angle. Neuration does not differ materially from that of Astictopterus. Antennae
