One example from Yokohama in Pryer's collection, and 

 I took one at Nikko in September ; both these have the 

 outer band broader and darker than is usual in European 

 specimens. In this respect they agree with specimens 

 from the Altai in my collection and also with examples 

 from Amurland referred to by Staudinger (Rom. sur Lep., 

 vi, p. 512).

There were two examples from Oivvake in Pryer's 

 collection ; one of these has a broad pinkish-brown band 

 traversing the outer area of primaries, the other is very 

 typical.

 type, from Amurland.
