DIAGNOSIS. Males of B. defecta rubella subsp. n. ( Fig. 8 View Figs 8–14 ) differ from those of the nominate subspecies ( Figs 1, 4, 6 View Figs 1–7 ) by the slightly broader forewings, the dark yellow forewing ground color (whereas in B. d. defecta the forewing ground color is bright yellow), the slightly broader and darker red elements of the forewing pattern, and the pink ground color of hindwings with dark yellow suffusion along the veins (whereas in B. d. defecta the hindwing ground color is pale yellow, rarely with slight pinkish suffusion in the terminal area only).

The male genitalia ( Fig. 28 View Figs 27–29 ) are very similar to those of the nominate subspecies ( Fig. 27 View Figs 27–29 )

and differ only by the slightly smaller dorsal lobe and the tapered tip of the distal lobe of the distal saccular process. The female genitalia ( Fig. 36 View Figs 35–42 ) have no significant differences from those of B. defecta defecta ( Fig. 35 View Figs 35–42 ).

DISTRIBUTION. SW China (Yunnan).
