Abstract NN' ehave drawn up a lis tof Xinjian gbutterfiie swhich were caught by Huang and
are now preserved in Xinjiang University, In the lis t1,05 species are reportecl and two new
species and 22 new subspecies are describecl.This paper is a pre]iminary work for more
perfect lis tin future.
Key words Xinjian gbutterfl yTi,anshan, Altai, Kunlun, Aljinshan, Sajan, grassland, taxo-
nomy.
In the present paper, we give a report on the butterfli oefs Xinjian Province ,China, which
Huang has caught between 1980 and 1989 , Based on the collected material, we enumerate
105 species, among which two new species and 22 new subspecies have been found" . Part
I deals with the descriptio nosf new taxa with the revision of a few scientific names. Part
II is the lis tof the w･hole species (dat aof new taxa are abbreviated ; see their descriptions
for detail ),All the specimens includin gthe types are preserved in the Biologica Llabora-
tory of Xinjiang Universit ye,xcept the material from Sajan.

This species has not hitherto been recorded from Chinese central Asia, Simila rto ssp.

Upperside-Forewing : the submarginal blackis hband extends from apex to space 3, but
it is much faint in spaces 3 and 4. The black markings in the base of space$ 5 and 8
become black patches .Hindwing : the two red markings are fairl ysmall. In the other
subspecies, the black scales appear on the veins from 1 to 6 near outer margin, but in this
subspecies such black scales are not present. Genera]l ythe blackis hmarkings of both
wings are least developed in Phoebzt staxa.
