Types in coll. Holland. 



I took this species abundantly at sugar at Shirakawa, Fukushima 

 Ken. Mr. Pryer had never seen the species. I name it in honor 

 of a friend who accompanied me upon the evening I took the largest 

 number of specimens, and who has since lost his life in the Yellow 

 Sea by the foundering of the steamer upon which he was going for 

 an excursion to Borneo.

 bordered internally by dark brown, followed above the inner margin by a wide 

 and even shade of vinous brown darker than the ground color of the wing. 

 This shade is lost toward the costa in a large subtriangular spot of rich maroon 

 which exieuds from the costa to near the middle of the wing and is ornamented 

 by a comma shaped dash of pure white, which is widest on the costa; a small, 

 subtriangular spot of dark brown ornaments tbe limbal area just before the apex.

 blackish, darkest towards the outer margin ; the white comma-shaped dash of 

 the anterior wing reappears upon the underside, but is faint; the posterior wings

 a transverse line, which is darkest on the costa and does not quite extend to the 

 inner margin. Expanse of wings 30 mm.
