Fryer's specimens were from Yokohama ; the species 

 has also been recorded from Tokio, and I obtained examples 

 at Nagasaki in May and at Gensan in July. One specimen 

 was received from Ichang, where it was captured in August. 



Alpheraky re-describes this species from Corea, and as 

 he does not refer to A. dcpravata he was probably un- 

 acquainted with Butler's description of it. A good deal of 

 variation, both as regards size and intensity of markings, 

 is exhibited.
