I examined a male syntype of PupiZl otamerlanus hoene iMell, 1935 preserve din ZFMK, and
confirmed that it is a senior synonym of Pczzala sichuanica Koiwaya 1993 (syn n.oy.). The
taxonomic status of hoenei is not subspecies of Pazala tamerlana, but apparently a distinct
species (sta tne.v.), as Koiwaya (199 3g)ave a detaile ddescripti onof this species as si-
chuanica. He observed in the hil lbehin dDojiang Yan (1,3 om)o in Sichuan Prov, that both
sexes of specimens of sichuanica came up around it stop together with C timur 4 and C
tamehana di (Koiway 1a9,93) . In hoenei ,the outer ponion ofoutline ofthe hindwing cell
(=the upper, middle and lower discocellul averins) is stained with black on both sides,

In my observation in Guangxi, only two species of Pczzala ,vin hoenei and eurous, appeared
abundantly and no other Pazala species were seen. Mell (1935 )describe dReurous
mendionads and R hoenei ,stat. nov., from North Guangdong. These fact smean that these
two Pazala species are common in South China.
Mell (1935 )degcribe dhoenei based on 31 6i 2 9 frem West- and East Tienmoshan,
Zhejiang, and nonhern Guangdong, and stated that the type and paratypes were in H6ne's
collection except 1 paratyp ewhich was in Mell' scollection. But the holotype was not
designate din the text and al1 the specimens should be regarded as syntypes. From the
current knowledge ofthe distribution paalttern of Pazala tamehana and R hoenei ,stat. nov.,
and from my collecting experience, syntypes of hoenei without doubt consist of one species.
R tamehana is not distribut eidn Southeas tChina, and is syrnpatric with R hoenei only in
a narrow area in western Sichuan . Because I think that there is no possibilit ythat the type
series contains more than one species, I do not designat ea lectotyp eof RapZel otamehanus
