I have examples of the male from Gensan, Omei-shan, 

 and Kiukiang, and of the female from Gensan and the 

 province of Kwei-chow. Staudinger states (Rom. sur Lep., 

 vi, p. 582) that Oberthiir in recording this species from the 

 isle of Askold has probably confused it with 0. tyr annus, 

 which seems very unlikely. As 0. fullonica occurs in 

 Northern Corea it may be expected to occur in Amurland. 



Distribution. Africa; throughout the Oriental Region 

 to New Guinea and Australia {Hampson) ; Corea ; 

 Central and Western China.

Pryer's specimens were from Oiwake. I have received 

 the species from Hakodate and also from Chang-yang, 

 Kiukiang, Ship-y-shan, Omei-shan, Moupin, Ta-chien-lu, 

 and Chia-kou-ho. 



The primaries vary considerably in tint, and in the 

 amount of green markings, and some specimens seem to 

 agree with the form described by Staudinger as var. 

 amurcnsis, in wdiich the primaries are unicolorous brown, 

 darker than is usual in typical examples. There are all 

 intergrades occurring in China between this form and the 

 type. 



Distribution. Himalayas ; Calcutta ( Hampson ) ; 

 Amurland ; Japan ; Yesso ; Central and Western 

 China.
