I have specimens from Oiwake, Tokio, and Yesso, also 

 one example from Chang-yang. 



Eastern Asian specimens of this species are rather 

 darker, especially on the secondaries, and more uniform in 

 colour than is usually the case in European examples. 

 The form is well described by Butler under the name 

 exigua. Staudinger re-describes the same form as var. 

 saturata, and although he refers to Butler's exigua, he does 

 not appear to have understood the description.
