type. These last were sent to liim as Mytliimna dcj)area, 

 Butl., with the description of which he says lie is un- 

 acquainted. If he had had access to a good library, he 

 would have seen that his Japanese specimens were wrongly 

 identified. Although Butler's figures of illoha and jjacijlca 

 are not very good, yet they are fairly recognizable, and it 

 is surpi'ising that neither is referred to in the description 

 of dcdinans. 



There were specimens of all three forms from Yokohama 

 and Oiwake in Fryer's collection. I have examples of the 

 jyacijlca form from Gensan and Kiukiang, taken in July 

 and August.

Butler suggests that this may be the " Caradrina. vari- 

 olosa" of Motschulsky, but adds, "the description is too 

 imperfect for satisfactory identification."
