Fryer's specimens were from Yokohama and Nikko, I 

 took examples at Gensan in June and at Hakodate in 

 August, and have received tlie species from Ta-chien-hi. 



The form which has the dark central fascia interrupted 

 is found throughout the area of the species' distribution. 

 This is one of the characters of ncuh'j'a, Oberth., which in 

 addition has a more or less complete submarginal row of 

 ochreous-brown dots ; I have four examples of this form 

 which vary in size from 24 to 34 millim. across the wings. 



In P. chrysitina the submarginal line is very frequently 

 broken up into spots.
