Eight specimens in Fryer's collection without locality 

 are referable to var. fornax, Butl, the type of which 

 was from Tokio ; besides these I have one example from 

 Yesso and one from Yokohama which seem to be fairly 

 typical. 



Fornax appears to be a good local race, and is distin- 

 guished by the bright golden-brown coloration of primaries, 

 and the more pronounced angled central band.

The series of nine examples in Pryer's collection was 

 from Yokohama. All the Japanese specimens (scricea,

 pinkish-brown, and the primaries are somewhat brighter 

 in tint than European specimens.
