G44 APPENDIX. 
towards costa; there is a blackish spot between the subcostal and discoiAul iiervules, aiid a 
smaller one between the second and third median nervules. Under surface : primaries palo 
olivaceous bro-wn, clouded with yellowish on the discal area ; a pale yellowish band traverses 
the winp; from about the middle of the costa to inner angle, and is broken up into spots in 
the median and submedian interspaces ; there is a white-pnpillcd subapieal ocellus, with a 
bluish dash on costa above it and a -white spot in interspace below it ; marginal lino bluish 
white, edged internally -with blackish and interrupted by the nervules : secondaries dark 
olivaceous brown, the basal two thirds traversed by several wavy shining violet-grey lines ; 
the outer edge of the basal portion of the wing is indented and edged with yellowish, most 
conspicuously in the median interspace ; there is a series of six ocelli preceded by a shining 
violet-grey waved line, all the ocelli are pupilled with violet-grey, but, excepting those of the 
third and fourth, the pupils are minute ; the first ocellus is followed by a patch of violet-grey, 
and there is a tinge of the same colour beyond the second and third ocelli ; marginal line 
follows the contour of the -vsings and is violat-grey, narrow towards costa, and broader towards 
anal angle. 
Expanse 55 millim. 
One example, taken at Omei-shan in June at an elevation of about 
SoOO feet. 
This species is allied to L. violaceopicta, but differs in being rounder in the 
wing and redder in colour ; on under surface of primaries the macular band 
is more conspicuous.

"Mule. Upperside brown. Anterior wings with a broad darker brown indistinct band on the 
outer margin, and a large triangular indistinct sericeous patch, having its base on the 
inner margin and towards its apex extending beyond the end of the cell. Posterior wings 
without any tufts of hair within the cell ; a submarginal row of four dark brown spots 
without any white centre, and surrounded b)' pale brown rings, the spot nearest the apex and 
the next but one being the largest. 
" Underside : anterior wings with the cell crossed in the middle by two dark bars, the inner bar 
thicker than the outer and the space between being pale ; a dark line at the end of the cell ; 
two indistinct spots underneath each other towards the apex, with white centres and 
surrounded by pale rings ; the other markings on the anterior and those on the posterior 
wings very nearly the same as on L.sicelis, Hewitson, but on the posteiior wings the spot (in 
the submarginal row of spots) between the middle and lowest median nervules is much 
smaller than in L. sicelis, and the outer of the two narrow bands which cross the wings is 
bifid at its lower end and further apart from the inner band. 
" Expanse of wings 2| inches. 
"Three specimens : Omei-shan, Western China. 
" Very like L. sicelis in general appearance, but belonging to a different
