Specimens from Yokohama, Oiwake, and Yesso in 

 Pryer's collection. My native collector obtained the 

 species at Hakodate in June or July, and I took it at 

 Sendai in September ; also recorded from Tokio. I have 

 a series from China comprising specimens from Ta-chien- 

 lu, Chia-kou-ho, Moupin, and Chang-yang. Tliese are 

 generally darker than the European and Japanese 

 examples in my collection.
