MANDARINIA; MYCALESIS; LETHE. By Dr. A. Seitz.

4. Family: Satyridae. 
1. Genus: Mandarinia Leech. 
M. regalis Leech. This species which was only known as occurring outside the palaearctic region when regalis. 
Vol. 1 was published, has subsequently been discovered in Kwangtung in an indo-australian form ( dilatior Mell). 
2. Genus: Mycalesis Hhn. 
M. perdiccas Hew. According to Fruhstorfer typical perdiccas, which must be considered the perdiccas. 
geographical representative of the south Chinese jrancisca Gr. (which however is no longer palaearctic) have 
larger eye-spots in the anal region of the forewings and larger ocelli in the antemarginal row on the underside 
than is represented by the illustration in Vol. 1 plate 29 b: the specimen illustrated is said to have smaller eye- 
spots than usual and Fruhstorfer introduces the name vercella for such specimens. The name seems super¬ 
fluous because the size of the eye-spots varies in most Mycalesis just as much as for instance in the european 
Sat. dry as of which in many localities (for instance at Atzwang in the South Tyrol) one observes normal 
specimens, but similarly also others with considerably enlarged eye-spots (drymeia Fruhst.) in one and the 
same district. 
M. gotania Mr. Still further varieties of this variable species have been described of which a palaearctic gotama.

wider yellow ringlet round the anal eye and a wider violet middle band of the underside. This is from Nagasaki 
where, however, also quite typical specimens occur; and seriphus Fruhst. from the main island of Japan, Hondo; scriphus.

islands in the indo-australian territory, but which is also mentioned from the palaearctic island of Oshima 
(North Japan). 
3. Genus: Seethe Him. 
L. margaritae Elw., the largest known species of this Genus, which is excellently illustrated in Vol. 9, margaritae. 
plate 97 b, was formerly only known from Bhutan. Now it has also been found at the upper Brahmaputra which 
is nearer to the palaearctic boundary. I do not consider it probable that it passes this boundary. 
L. callipteris Btlr. The form that is spread over the whole of Japan also occurs on Sachalin. Specimens caMpteris. 
from there (caught in July) show the discal spots of the forewings less sharply outlined, suffused with grey, 
filling out almost the whole cell up to the dark postmedian band: the light subapical spots of the fore wings are 
only displaced about 1 mm towards the apex. The form is said to be smaller, which, however, is not always the 
case. This form is minima Esaki and Nakahara (= karafutonis Matsumura). (8 a.) — Further 2 forms have minima.

distincter and the dark dusting considerably reduced. The postdiscal yellow spots are also enlarged: the hindwings 
are more distinctly scalloped. 
L. sicelis Hew. Fruhstorfer proposes to limit this name to specimens from the main japanese island sicelis. 
(Hondo); vanelia Fruhst. are specimens from the southern island (Kiushiu), in which the ocelli on the underside vanelia. 
of the hindwings do not show the violet-blue ring which is clearly shown in our illustration (Vol. 1, plate 31 b). 
L. dyrta Fldr. is the very widely distributed form, which occurs as yoga as far south as Ceylon, as anunda dyrla. 
Fruhst. as far as Sumatra and as sambaluna Fruhst. (Vol. 9, plate 79 b) as far as Lombok.
