This species is allied to the Indian 7'. larta. Boisduval men- 

 lions a Japanese variety of it, but I thhik thei-c is no doubt it is 

 distinct from that species, I have examined nearly a hundred 

 specimens and (ind they differ in several constant characters 

 i'rom their Indian ally, the sexes present scarcely any ditt'erence 

 ill size or coloration ; the locality given by Menetries (Haytij 

 is of course erroneous.

 ])reviouslv only seen female sjieclmens from Jajian, I was not 

 able to satisfactorily determine to Avhat sjiecies they jiei'tained.
