 A fine series from Chang-yang, also one example from 

 Gensan, Occurs in July and August. 



Staudinger (Rom. sur Lep., vi, p. 494) states that 

 p&rflua m\d janhowshii have been found together in Amur- 

 land, and he remarks that his female example differs little 

 from aberrant German specimens; the primaries are some- 

 what darker blackish-brown and the outer margin pale 

 grey rather than pale brown. Referring to my series I 

 find that the Asiatic specimens are nearly all darker in 

 ground colour than European examples. There are some 

 specimens agreeing with jcmkowsJdi and also intermediate 

 forms. 



In Japan this species seems to be represented by A. 

 erehina.
