p. 585 (1S02). 



The specimens in Fryer's collection were from Yesso 

 and the Kurile Islands. I obtained the siiecies in some 

 numbers at Hakodate in Auglist and at Sendai in 

 September, and have received examples from Mr. Manley 

 of Yokohama. 



Varies in colonr and intensity of the markings of 

 primaries. 



I do not agree with Staudinger in considering this to 

 be a form of O. siwnsa, from which it can be at once 

 distinguished by the pure white and broader bands of the 

 •under surface.

 Islands.

Described from Sidemi. I Lave one example from Ta-
