There were specimens from Yokohama in Fryer's collec-

 the latter and one of the Japanese specimens agree with

 much importance. The same examples seem also to be 

 identical with specimens of finitima, Clem., from Nortii 

 America in the National Collection at South Kensington. 



Distribution. Europe. — Amurland ; Japan ; Western 

 China.
