646 APPENDIX. 
one iu wliich the spot is absent. If, however, others should be foimd in 
China shoAving that this is a normal specimen, we should be unable to treat 
it as a variety of any known species. On the upperside it differs from any 
specimen of argus that we have yet seen in that, being a male, it has on all 
the wings a dark marginal band of which the inner edge is sharply defined 
and the ocellar space sharply defined on both wings." 
I now find that I have another example from Ichang, which must be the 
female of this species. In agrees perfectly in the colour of upper surface, 
but, in addition to the ocelli on upper surface of secondaries shown in figure 
of the type, this specimen has two others, one in second median interspace 
and one near costa. On the under surface the colour and striation agree 
exactly, the ocelli are the same in number and similarly placed, but are slightly 
larger, and the subanal pair are in contact.

" Somewhat, larger than neivara, M., from which it maj- be distinguished on the upperside by the 
paler colour of the outer area of both wings in the male. The underside is whitish grey, 
without any markings beyond the ordinary striolation, which exhibits a tendency to coalesce 
and form a brown cloud about the inner margin of the fore wing. The constancy of the form 
of the clasps has been tested in four cases.

I was disposed to consider chinensis a form of ¥. newara, Moore, but 
Elwes and Edwards have ascertained that the form of the clasp in chinensis 
is different to that of netoara and have consequently elevated the former 
into a species.
