Hcteroccra from Cldna, Japan, and Corect. 85 



Var. glauciiaacida, Graeser, from Ainurland, is described 

 as somewhat darker chocolate-brown. I have ten examples 

 from that country which appear to be referable to this 

 form, and there are similar specimens in my European 

 series of plecia. The form does not seem to be worthy of 

 a varietal name (Berl. Ent. Zeit., 1888, p. 321). 



I may observe that. my Amurland specimens are in very 

 fine condition, and may probably be some of those bred by 

 Graeser from larvjB obtained at Nicolajewsk. 



The Japanese and Corean specimens that I have are 

 worn, but I think that when they were fresh they did not 

 differ from typical European examples. 



Distribution. Europe. — Amurland; Japan; Corea ; 

 Sikhim; Ceylon. — North America.
